      Let's see, using the infamous star system:

      Memento ***1/2/****
      City of God ****/****
      Swimming Pool ***/****
      The Quite American ***1/2/****
      Kill Bill I ****/****
      Lost in Translation ***1/2/****
      Ghost World ****/****
      Open Water ***/****

      Not yet seen Kill Bill II, Ring, or Man on the Train. But there is time.

      ...did you see Chrisopher Nolan's (Memento) first film?
      It's really worth catching and the chronological style pre-echoes Memento.
      It's called The Follower, in b&w - very hard, original & manipulative.
      I wonder what his Batman - The Beginning will be like?

        run to the vid store and get After Life, A Taste of Cherry, and Cold Fever.
        (I saw pre-Memento and was a bit disappointed; on the other hand, it showed the director had grown.)

      I have not seen all the films on your list - and while I have a few above it - Million Dollar Baby is better than the Aviator - so far they're the only two of the five I've seen.

      MDB is so far the best Eastwood Movie I've seen - - much better than Mystic River. Shmaltz? Yes so what? Tube amps have euphony and people like it like me.

      I have not seen those films, so can't comment, but I do get that sense that you had done your fair share of Hollywood bashing lately... he-he...

      How dare you to not like the Oscar darling!

      Likely in a couple of years I will see it, so I will tell you then.

      Next you will tell us you actually didn't like the LOTR. That will mean the completion of your decadence cycle.

        one hundred words.
        I loathe Star Wars and, since in my experience folks like both mythologies, I steered clear. Since my brother-in-law is a true fanatic of both cults, I'll be forced to indulge him and see at least one LOTR. I detest the look.--that Matrix-blue-black-brown crap. And the Tyler girl? Don't get me started...

          I actually don't have problem with the first Star War... but it HAD to stop there. One was a curiosity, what followed was a disgrace to everyone.

          With the LOTR I am one small step (as in "one small step for man, one giant.... for mankind..." remember?) ahead of you, as I actually sat through about 20 minutes total of that munumental pile of dreck.

      Agree with you Tinear on both Million Dollar Baby and the movies you did like. Unfortunately, it is the kind of movie you know is going to get the Oscar.

      I saw the movie last Saturday with my wife. She told me that it was unusual to have the protagonist die. I told her that Maggie wasn't the protagonist, she was the plot device.
