Reasons I voted 2001:
1. 2001 is probably in my all-time top 10.
2. The Departed is not.
3. The Departed beat out LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, BABEL, THE QUEEN AND LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA FOR BEST PICTURE, ALL OF WHICH (especially Little Miss Sunshine) WERE MORE DESERVING OF IT. _________________ A dick that's bigger than the sun.
Music sucks. Check out my favourite movies, fam:

2001 can be a real chore to watch and Kubrick as done much better
The Departed is great to watch and certainly isn't a chore, although if your up for it 2001 can be more rewarding.
Still Scorsese has done much better as well
I might need some more time on this
Oh and the video intro with Gimme Shelter! Man that song never gets old

I never got the obsession people seem to have with all these crime movies - The Godfather, Goodfellas, The Departed - they're all so much sameness.
Not to mention it all serves as ridiculous glorification of pretty crappy values. _________________ A dick that's bigger than the sun.
