20 YEARS AGO — Just the other day, I was sitting in my living room when I heard a loud bang from the basement. Undoubtedly, it was one of my kids destroying yet another piece of our home — but I'll never know.
That's because the noise made me turn my head, resulting in me hurting my back. Yes, a head turn can now hurt my back. When I was a kid, I'd ride my bike off a shed roof and hit the ground like a satellite returning to Earth's atmosphere. I'd then pop up, grab a popsicle and go play dodge ball for six hours.
My point is, I'm getting old. And the one thing that can make you feel old — more than a strained back from a head turn — is realizing the movies on this list are turning 20.
2003 gave us the final Concorde flight, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, French fries became freedom fries, and Lance Armstrong was still the darling of the cycling world with his fifth Tour de France win.
Let it set in that all of this happened 20 years ago ... and that means the movies on this list, which were all released in 2003, are celebrating their 20th birthday in 2023.

Did see Secondhand Lions on TV, none of that rest of that stuff, whatever it is.
Great flick.

I think all the black folks in LOTR were Orcs
They apologized by sprinkling the prequels with one or two - just as described in the books (s/)
Ha. They say it as if 20 years is a long time.
Excellent!
“But it wasn’t that deep.”
It was heavily hyped, so I was curious.
I would like to have been busy doing something else, but I had time to kill staying at a motel before finishing my road trip to Florida.
77 channels, and nothing else was on...
Second Hand Lions is absolutely superb. It is about two old codgers who had traveled the world with the French Foreign Legion raising a young boy. (Michael Cain and Robert Duvall) I highly recommend it.
Agreed, 100%.
Secondhand Lions is a “must see”, I kid you not.
This thread made watch a couple of the movies on the list and guess what...Pryor was wrong, there are black people in Logan’s Run.
You want to feel old, I saw the very first James Bond film when I was 7 in 1962, Dr. No. Still love it after all these years.
The only one I saw was Secondhand Lions, and I liked it a lot.
Also “Love Actually.”
He’s even worse than Chuck Norris, for God’s sake.
Will check it out. Thank you.
I’ve seen most of them the best on the list was “Second Hand Lions”. The rest not so much.
