I thought Training Day was overrated
I love Training Day, but the Snoop, Dre, and Macy Gray cameos always take me out of it. Denzel should play a villain more often, he's amazing in that movie.

Master & Commander is NOT forgettable.

More forgettable than Taken!

62% of people have forgotten the **** out of it so far.

It's my favorite movie of the decade, but it's not something that was made for the masses.

Same here. Only seen it once, when it came out, so maybe I need to give it another shot. But never saw what was so great about it.

Starring Russel Crowe 3 years after Gladiator and 2 years after A Beautiful Mind
Directed by Peter Wier 5 years after Truman Show
Budget: $150 million
Released the week before Thanksgiving in competition with The Matrix Revolutions

How was that not made for the masses?

No romantic storyline or relations thrown in (rightfully so, I might add!)

What I mean is that it put story over action. There's a couple of spectacular action sequences, but I can see how the average moviegoer could find the movie boring as its not really a naval war film, but a movie about the relationship between two men.

Count me in the "found it boring" camp. Was bored watching it and never went back and tried again.

On the other side of the spectrum, I've watched the movie dozens of times, read the 20-book series three times (never heard of them until the movie), and wish the BBC would make a long-term TV series based on those books.

I needed about 15% less Bettany's Botany, but other than that I enjoyed it. It's one I need to watch again, though. I probably haven't seen it in 10+ years.

50 votes in, I've only got one movie trending at 90%. What is it?

You're on the wrong day.

And none of the other answers are right either.

#2 seed with a bullet.

5 lower seeds are in the lead with 2 more within 4 votes.

Without risking the coronavirus, at some point I'd like to shake the hand of everyone who voted for Serenity with me. We definitely need a Firefly thread around here.

The problem is that you're suggesting it's a better movie than Fellowship of the Ring.

Lower seed leaders...

Taken
Dodgeball
Minority Report
Fast and Furious

I agree. I really like Serenity and loved the Firefly series, but Fellowship of the Ring takes the cake in a head to head no matter how you slice it.

Star Cinema Grill rolling out the big guns starting Friday with all three LOTRs, Jurassic Park, and the Avengers.

No, I'm not. I can vote for something knowing it's not going to win. My brother and I both voted for our Dad as a write-in candidate for President in 1996.

Fast and the Furious looks like a 90-year-old driving on the shoulder with her left blinker on.

IMO, Minority Report is the best sci-fi movie of the decade.

Whoa! It's good, but better than all 3 LOTR's, Matrix Reloaded, and Avatar????

LOTR is fantasy, not sci-fi, the first Matrix is one of my favorite movies of all time, the other two are meh, and Avatar was great in the theater, but the story is lacking and isn't nearly as good on a tv.

Fair enough, I thought you were talking about the region. In that case, it might be the best of the decade. Matrix2 was good but probably more due to the ending then the entirety.
