I've seen them all except for Norte, the End of History although I have seen five (32 hours) of Diaz's films, including From What Is Before.

Look, I'm not judging you - after all, I'm posting here myself, but maybe, just maybe, if you spent less time here and more time watching films, maybe, and I stress, maybe your taste would be of some value. Just a thought, ya know.

Glad to see you back around Tokeza! No surprise that I haven't seen anything from the first set, but I have a lot of respect for your taste.

Only watched The Grandmaster from that set, which would rank even higher in my Top list of the decade so far.

Will keep an eye out for this list, as it will undoubtedly be filled with stuff that I haven't watched/heard of yet.

TokeZa's back!

Nope.

I think its one of the more thoughtfull childrens movies of this decade. Closely followed by Inside Out, which i also really like

Seen The Act of Killing, a very good film!

Is The Grand Master about IP-Man?

Embrace of the Serpent is quite good. I haven't seen anything else so far.

Beyond the Hills (2012) by Cristian Mungiu

I have only seen The Act of Killing and Hugo both which get a big from me. The prior I'd consider one of the 5 best documentaries of all time. Very interesting list, and I'm expecting it to stay that way. Looking forward to the rest

Certified Copy (2010) by Abbas Kiarostami

Haven't seen most of these, of the ones i have my favourite is Moonrise Kingdom. Can i ask what you liked about Film Socialisme? I've not seen it but i read some blog last year disparaging it and i'd be interested in an opposing opinion. The guy who wrote it clearly hated Godard post 60's and i think through his hatred he made it sound really horrible, not that i'd let some blog post influence my watching something i'm already planning to but i did find it interesting.

Oh, hey, another person who saw Embrace of the Serpent!

I guess to like Film Socialisme you would have to like Godard's more essayistic films. Its not an easy film to like, but i think its an interesting film in the way it plays with digital aesthetics.

While i do love Godards sixties work, i actually think his post 60's work in some ways are more interesting. He became a lot more playful with the film as a medium and reflective in works such as Histoire(s) du cinéma, which in my opinion is a bonafide masterpiece.

Another example could be Joy of Learning from 1969 while it being pretty dogmatic in marxistic terms, its quite interesting in the way Godards plays with the interplay between theatre and film.

As a last note i think its pretty easy to hate Godards post new wave films, but i think that it is in these films he really try to test his own limits with film. He does in no way always succeed, but you really have to give him credit for always trying to push the boundaries of filmmaking.

I've only seen four of these so far. Three I like, one I dislike.

Yay for The Grandmaster, Hugo, and Moonrise Kingdom!

Nay for The Act of Killing.

A lot of those films I haven't seen look gorgeous. I need to see more movies.
