You're a Genius all the time


Fight Club (Fincher - 1999)
American Psycho (Harron - 2000)
Children of Men (Cuaron - 2006)
Punch-Drunk Love (Anderson - 2002)
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (Clooney - 2002)
Closer (Nichols - 2004)
Almost Famous (Crowe - 2000)
Juno (Reitman - 2007)
United 93 (Greengrass - 2006)
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (Anderson - 2004)



Left a couple of very good films off of my earlier list:

2003-Secondhand Lions--Duval is always worth watching and Caine can be if he's got a good script, and he did this time. Better on DVD because it showed a funnier alternative ending and some good scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor.

2005-The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada--Anything with Tommy Lee Jones is always worth watching.



Ok, so 97-2007? Lemme see.....

in no particular order:

Rushmore
Magnolia
Lord of The Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Inland Empire
Mulholland Dr.
Funny Games
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Long Live The New Flesh
In no particular order and with some reservations and blah blah blah....
  • The Thin Red Line (1998 - Terrence Malick)
  • The Apostle (1997 - Robert Duvall)
  • Mulholland Dr. (2001 - David Lynch)
  • Cidade de Deus / City of God (2002 - Fernando Meirelles & Kátia Lund)
  • Festen / The Celebration (1998 - Thomas Vinterberg)
  • The Big Lebowski (1998 - Joel Coen)
  • Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005 - George Clooney)
  • Bloody Sunday (2002 - Paul Greengrass)
  • Mies vailla menneisyyttä / The Man Without a Past (2002 - Aki Kaurismäki)
  • The Corporation (2003 - Mark Achbar & Jennifer Abbott)
The first three are untouchable but there are lots of films that deserve a spot on the list. These just came to mind first. You guys have lots of great choices that would fit in there as well.

And, yeah, The Thin Red Line is that good. It would be on my top ten of all times.

Holden, I knew you liked his films a lot but I didn't know you were such a huge von Trier fan.
I can't believe more people didn't pick The Thin Red Line.



Here goes, personal Top 10 from 98-08:

Saving Private Ryan (1998)
The Matrix (1999)
Gladiator (2000)
Sexy Beast (2001)
The Ring (2002)
Lost in Translation (2003)
Collateral TIE Napolean Dynamite (2004)
40 Year Old Virgin (2005)
The Departed (2006)
No Country for Old Mean (2007)
The Dark Knight (2008)

Can't wait for '09!!!!
