Holiday's over. Let's get to it.
Thanks, Lance. Now my list doesn't look creative at all!
Need to se Mulholland Dr. so bad
I kind of love and hate David Lynch at the same time. I've seen...three of his films and I only like one of them. But that one, I love so much, and I actually count him as one of my favorite directors as well. I started to watch Mulholland once, but it was about 3 am and I fell asleep in the middle, and since then, it's just something I've never had time to get back around to.
Haha! Wow, have any two lists so far in these threads been so similar? Well, actually I think maybe in earlier threads. But still, all the ones on your list not on mine were in strong consideration! I forgot to mention Cache in my post, but that was just below the cut as well. Kings and Queen would have been my pick for Desplechin as well.
Surprised I'm the only one who has mentioned the Gondry, thought it had a big following.
6. The Lives of Others - von Donnersmarck
1. Spirited Away (Miyazaki, 01)
Also, in the past year or so, having rewatched Gangs a few times, I think I've soured on it a bit. Or maybe it's just harder to ignore the flaws of the film that I never had much trouble overlooking for the film's (still considerable) accomplishments. It still might be my favorite Scorsese film, but Shutter Island is certainly right up there with it.
I am glad there was a wait between the 90’s and this list because this was by far the hardest as most of the films were pretty even. American films were pretty weak this decade. Even though three appear on the list none would have been included in #11-20 if this list were expanded. Japan and South Korea would have dominated that expanded list.
1. Old Boy (Park Chan-wook, 2003)
2. Return of The King (Peter Jackson, 2003)
