Eternal Sinshine? The Passion must have really had an effect on you. (insert smiley face here)

11. Young Adam

The first two will definitely still be there come December...probably the first four.

So, which other 6 - 8 films do you think will be better than the ones you mentioned?

I looked up and these are some flims that might be really good.

Fahrenheit 9/11
Zatoichi
Hero
Collateral
Alexander
The Incredibles
The Brothers Grimm
The Aviator
The Life Aquatic

Ghostboy

It could be any of those you mentioned (although Brothers Grimm got pushed to '05), most likely The Life Acquatic, possibly Farenheit 9/11, but I'm hoping to be surprised by a few that I might not know about yet. Like Spring Summer Fall Winter, which I knew nothing about when I walked into the theater. Maybe Birth, if it gets released. Maybe Finding Neverland, if it's any good. Maybe even...The Brown Bunny?

Oh, I just thought of a new one. An Asian film called Oasis which is being released in the US right now but came out overseas two years ago. It's amazing. That'll probably be on it.

The whole multiple release thing is tricky. I had Dogville on my list last year, even though it didn't get released here until this year.

Kill Bill 2
Eternal Sunshine
Dogville
Dawn of the Dead
Triplets of Belleville (released in aus this year)

worst - punisher (ugh! this year's Reloaded)

I think 2004 is the best first six months of a year for movies I can think of, with some of my favorites of all time on the list already. I hope the rest of the year is like this.

1. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
2. Saddest Music In The World
3. Cowards Bend The Knee
4. Dogville
5. The Five Obstructions
6. Kill Bill Vol 2
7. Coffee And Cigarettes
8. Before Sunset
9. The Dreamers
10. Father And Son

Already that's the best top ten list I've had in years. And this year is only half over.  Already I can't think of getting rid of any of those movies from the list but I'm sure I'll also want put The Aviator, 2046, The Life Aquatic, and many others on there as well once the year is over.
Capra tells us that, in effect, love's dreams are only dreams and that they will never quite bear translation into practical forms of relationship and expression. They will never be realized in the world but only in our consciousness and in our most daring and glorious works of art - but that, for Capra, is no reason to abandon love's dreams.
--Ray Carney, American Vision: The Films Of Frank Capra
