[cron]

this is easy:
1. when the levees broke i and ii
2. miami vice
3. art school confidential
4. pan's labyrinth

i still have to see volver , the prestige, the fountain, the science of sleep, babel and the departed.

[Kal]

I dont have an order yet... and I hate making these things early... but for now:

- Superman Returns
- Little Miss Sunshine
- Borat
- The Departed
- Stranger Than Fiction

I liked Mission Impossible 3, Thank you for smoking, Cars, and a couple of others but I doubt they will make my final list.

[squints]

This is what i've come up with:

-Brick
-The Proposition
-Borat
-A Scanner Darkly
-Tideland
-The Descent
-The Devil and Daniel Johnston
-The Prestige
-A Prairie Home Companion
-Dave Chappelle's Block Party
-Banlieue 13
-Superman Returns

I've got a mountain of movies yet to see so of course this'll change somewhat. I'm pretty positive Brick and The Proposition will stay in the top two.

[socketlevel]

1. The Departed
2. Little Miss Sunshine
3. Art School Confidential
4. A Prairie Home Companion
5. United 93

your list is exactly the same as mine, however i have not seen a prairie home companion.  based on the rest of your taste, i will check it out.


on a side note...

i see cars come up a lot, and it was good and entertaining, however i was expecting more.

also, brick seems to be on a lot of lists.  brick was horrible, it just didn't work.  i understand what it was trying to do, and it's not that it couldn't have worked.  it's just a film students wet dream of a film.  i say, stop being smart with cinema, just be smart with subtext.

i guess my list would go:

1. The Departed
2. Little Miss Sunshine
3. United 93
4. Art School Confidential
5. Lady Vengence (for the lack of a good year really)

i say, stop being smart with cinema, just be smart with subtext.

top 5 so far:

4. the fountain
5. manderlay


need to see:
deja vu
marie antoinette
inland empire
the departed
the fountain
little miss sunshine

scratch deja vu off that list... and I wouldn't even say it makes top 10, sadly...

the fountain took me by surprise... I'll use the same words to describe the film as I did to the soundtrack, "so good."
