2003 — The Lord Of The Ring: Return Of The King

Return of the King, like Return of the Jedi twenty years before it, is the triumphant conclusion to a trilogy of amazing and unprecedented dimensions. Fantasy has never been a genre taken seriously by Hollywood award shows, but the sheer force of quality in every frame of Return of the King allowed film to win twelve Oscars. Despite its on-screen grandeur, this fantasy series was always a success because it handled its people so intimately.

2004 — Kill Bill Vol. 2

Although Quentin Tarantino’s trademark love for violence has always been present, the outrageous bloodletting did not commence until the release of Kill Bill Vol. 1. Using all of the themes from classic kung-fu, samurai, and western films, this two-part picture became the ultimate revenge experience. Vol. 2 continues the Bride’s (Uma Thurman) quest for vengeance against those who abandoned her and her unborn child.
