    Lots of heavy hitters on here. 1408 and A.I are the ones I care a little less for so they're getting left out in the cold.

    A.I. is actually super underrated and in a perfect world will go far in this tournament.

    It's a well made, thought provoking movie for sure, but it isn't any kind of masterpiece. It's too disjointed, no real cohesion.

    Well the only movie close to a masterpiece here is Fantastic Mr. Fox.

    On that we can both agree, although Downfall is an impressive achievement. The way it calmly depicts Hitler's madness and the blind, misguided faith of his followers is masterful.

    A.I. shows up as the top film of the decade on more than a few lists.

    Maybe it's just me, I liked A.I but I found it very depressing at the end when the boy is standing in front of the Blue Genie for what is like, I don't remember how many years, wishing to be a real little boy. That part just is just so painful to watch.
    I really haven't seen it since because of that one part. But I still voted for it. And I never saw Fantastic Mr.Fox

    Yeah A.I. is a very sad movie, maybe that's why it's not more popular, since the trailer made it look like a fun Spielberg movie with robots. And it's not.

    It's fantastic and hilarious. 1408 should not have more votes than it. It's 92% on RT and was nominated for Best Animated Film Oscar but lost to Up.

    Fantastic Mr. Fox should have way more votes. I feel like it's an animated film that is just as enjoyable for adults as children. It's so good.
