BEST OF 2003 (RANKED)

Oldboy (South Korea, dir. Park Chan-wook)

If I had to describe 2003 in a word, it would be offbeat. The best films of 2003 are unified only by their non-conofrmity. Each was a surprize to stumble across and those that have stood the test of time best are those that bucked the genre trends, even if what made them fresh and original nine years ago has since become passe. Films like Oldboy, Bored in Brno, The Story of the Weeping Camel, Lost in Translation, Kill Bill and Ong Bak have all seen their fair share...
