"And the Loser is..." (Part III)

As promised, in no particular order, my top ten films of 2004*:

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
A Very Long Engagement
Fahrenheit 9/11
Napoleon Dynamite
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Sideways
Shaun of the Dead
Maria Full of Grace
Collateral
Finding Neverland

*Please keep in mind that I have yet to see the following films, so my opinions may yet change:

The Aviator
Before Sunset
Closer
Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
Garden State
Hotel Rwanda
House of Flying Daggers
Lemony Snicket’s Series of Unfortunate Events
The Machinist
Phantom of the Opera
Soul Plane
Team America
Vera Drake
You Got Served

And, in the spirit of equality and cynicism, the five most hopelessly overrated movies of the year:

Ray
Million Dollar Baby
Shrek 2
Kinsey
The Passion of the Christ
