Because of the desire to be accepted, we can allow ourselves to slowly drift to sea and not know we are lost until it is too late. Always knowing who you are is very much linked to keeping certain family traditions alive, starting with the most basic one, your name. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Dancer in the Dark</B><B>:</B> People who earn the minimum wage can have the highest values and truly understand that half of knowing what you want is what you have to give up to get it. More creative than <I>Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,</I> this film blends the use of digital cameras to tell a story of friendship, love and capital punishment, then wraps it in a startling musical.</div> <bR> <div> <B>The Terrorist:</B> Power hungry, faceless people use a children's army to advance their goals. A dying young soldier's most sexual involvement in his life occurs as a female compatriot is holding him. She too will soon be thinking about her destiny because she knows the exact day and time that she will die.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Bamboozled:</B> A masterpiece of satire, which is in your face to the point of <I>making </I>the point. Being hoodwinked can make you open your eyes.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Chuck and Buck:</B> Arrested development of a teenage buddy catches up with you fifteen years later. Friends can be stalkers, and the need to maintain ones lifestyle can cause you to do things you never dreamed of. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Kadosh:</B> Creating your own world and staying there is the epitome of religious conservatism. For a woman to have the freedom of a man, she has to consider breaking all her family ties and beginning anew. </div> <bR> <div> <B>East-West:</B> A love story and escape thriller that defies predicting what people will do. There is no formula story line. You understand why communism is good for the <I>few </I>and not the many.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon:</B> Easily the best action film of the year. By offering two interrelated loves stories of different generations with graceful and artistic kung fu that supports the story rather than vice versa, this is arguably the most exciting and fun film of the year. </div> <bR> <div> <B>Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle:</B> An animated film with one message for adults and another for children. Very creative and unlike <I>Chicken Run,</I> the story is not a children's version of a horror film like <I>Shindler's List.</I> There is a difference in being Gestapo-like and being the Gestapo.</div> <bR> <div> <B>You Can Count on Me:</B> These are people that we all know. It might even be us. We may be flawed and on occasion dysfunctional, yet we manage to treat people right and raise our children to be equal to or better off than we are. The best opening of any film of the year with it's ability to say so much by saying so little.</div> <bR> <div> For Information how to select the films that will make your Top 10 list go to <A HREF="id970.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="19th Chicago Latino Film Festival 2003"><U><I><B>"How To Use Move Review Ratings".</B></I></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="592" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 18 WIDTH="588"><div> George O.
