TOP MOVIES OF 2004: Before I list my favorite films of the past year, I must acknowledge that I live in a cultural backwater and spent more than a fair share of the year even more out of the loop. Suffice it to say, I've been playing catch-up and may make some changes to my list once I've seen more movies. That typed, here is my list.

Favorite movie of 2004? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Best of the rest of the best? Baadasssss!, The Bourne Supremacy, Closer, Collateral, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Hellboy, The Incredibles, Sideways, Super Size Me, Team America: World Police.

Enjoyable, but not like I'm paying another $9 enjoyable? The Aviator, Fahrenheit 9/11, Finding Neverland, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Kinsey, Mean Girls, The Passion of the Christ, Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2, The Village

Could be among my fave films once I see them? Garden State, House of Flying Daggers, Maria Full of Grace, Ray, Shaun of the Dead, A Very Long Engagement
