Hopefully these two comic geniuses will learn from this film. Some mildly funny humor but it just got messy, like the disappearing shit.

76. In the Realms of the Unreal: The Mystery of ... (2004)

People who added this item 3147  Average listal rating (2079 ratings) 6.4  IMDB Rating 6.9 
75. Mean Girls (2004)

74. Alfie (2004)

67. Hidalgo (2004)
Viggo's follow-up to the the 'Rings' trilogy was a bit stoic and dry, like the desert it takes place in.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 2800  Average listal rating (1766 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 6.5

People who added this item 345  Average listal rating (201 ratings) 5.7  IMDB Rating 5.5 
60. The Perfect Score (2004)
The 'perfect' title for this movie. A typical MTV flick that 'scores'
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 111  Average listal rating (63 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating 6.4 
59. De-Lovely (2004)
Cole Porter probably wouldn't have cared for it; but I thought Kline did a superb job; but the film wasn't as fun and epic as I'd hoped
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 277  Average listal rating (160 ratings) 7.5  IMDB Rating 8.1 
58. The Corporation (2003)
A long ass, depressing documentary that packs a lot of ideas into a nice piece of terror for the world we live in.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 135  Average listal rating (57 ratings) 7.4  IMDB Rating 6.9 
57. The Saddest Music in the World (2003)
A weird and experimental delight. Probably the least mainstream film on this list.

People who added this item 2920  Average listal rating (1846 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 6.8 
56. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Eve... (2004)
Carrey is glorious in this dark and moderately interesting film.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 425  Average listal rating (245 ratings) 5.3  IMDB Rating 5.6 
55. Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004)
Grace is likable and Bosworth is lovable in this entertaining chick flick.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 161  Average listal rating (112 ratings) 4.8  IMDB Rating 5.4 
54. Club Dread (2004)
A very dumb comedy, but I love Broken Lizard.

People who added this item 629  Average listal rating (392 ratings) 8  IMDB Rating 8.1 
53. Infernal Affairs (2002)
The film that inspired 'The Departed' is definitely worth a viewing if you're a fan of Scorsese's version.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 481  Average listal rating (333 ratings) 5.2  IMDB Rating 5.8 
52. Open Water (2003)
Frightening and realistic. I am a diver myself, so it really caught my attention.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 2677  Average listal rating (1792 ratings) 6.4  IMDB Rating 6.8 
51. National Treasure (2004)
Scavenger hunts have never been so entertaining.
What's this? Oh cool, oh but then we have to figure this out. Great we found it, oh but then we have to find this in order to find that, then once we find that then we'll have to do this to get to that which will be bring us to another thing that will ask us to figure out where what we think is one last thing but will only lead us to another item that will force us to ask why this is that and that is this which is why we must find that... or this. And that's just the half of it.
Stehako's rating:



In the opinion of Stephen H Koontz


Any year with Scorsese and DiCaprio teaming up is going to be a good year.

It's also the first time I've had 50+ films rated 3.5 stars or better; so a very good crop.
