Ties With Two Towers As The 2nd Best Movie of 2002

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2003)

I know there both very different but Catch Me If You Can needs to be ranked this high. It is richly entertaining and in its 140 minute running time, it doesn't get boring. Unlike Dicaprio's other movie Gangs of New York gets boring after awhile.
Also unlike in Gangs of New York Dicaprio gives an excellent performance in Catch Me If You Can and in Gangs he gives a terrible performance. It's really sad that Dicaprio will probably not be nominated for an oscar because this is by far his best performance. Theres just too much competition for him. Tom Hanks did a good job too but he wont be nominated either.
This movie has an excellent script, that should at least be nominated for an Oscar. So should the Original Score. The Costume Design and Art direction are possible too. Spielbergs Direction is a longshot for an oscar nomination but its not totally impossible. Best Picture is totally impossible though, sadly.
