Michael,
I just have to tell you that I find your Top 100 list here to be extremely refreshing. Particularly, the inclusion of Tape, Gerry, Bully, Mean Creek, Elephant, Last Days,the Assassination of Richard Nixon, & Before the Devil Knows Youre Dead really hit home for me. Lets face it, youre just not going to see these titles on many peoples' lists. However, they align perfectly w/my taste. Im working on a Top 50 of the decade, & mine included all of the ones I mentioned above. Well,except for Mean Creek, & thats only because its been so long since I watched it. I had kind of forgotten about it actually.
I made note of well over a dozen from your list that I desperately want to see now. So, thank you for the recommendations!
Here are a few I love that you may enjoy, if you havent seen them already. I did not see them on your list.
Hedwig & the Angry Inch (2001)
The Pledge (2001)
The Station Agent (2003)
The Woodsman (2004)
Brick (2006)
Chop Shop (2007)
Spiral (2007)
The Merry Gentleman (2008)
