And although I thought Munyurangabo was terrific, like I think I told you before it didn't make the same impact for me as Dry Season. Or something. Both definitely deserved a lot more than one blasted screening, that's for sure.<br /><br />Just saw 35 Shots of Rum last week and very much enjoyed it, though it was my first Denis film so I can't say I can fully absorb her style just yet.<br /><br />Still need to see Parnassus and I don't know why I never caught up with Gomorrah. Great choice of Hunger here, too.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960801109466931460.post-10913710830532339042010-01-15T08:48:33.115-06:002010-01-15T08:48:33.115-06:00Hi again --

Waaaaaah...<br /><br />As for "Red Cliff": Haven't seen the US cut and don't intend to but have to also say that I found "Red Cliff I" not that great but then was very pleasantly surprised by "Red Cliff 2". :)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960801109466931460.post-55685471538184806112010-01-14T17:50:11.890-06:002010-01-14T17:50:11.890-06:00Doh!

I have no idea...<br /><br />I guess the other one (two) that I feel bad about leaving out is <i>Red Cliff I</i> and <i>II</i>. As a five hour epic, its really incredible. But I got distracted by the lame US cut and forgot about the grander of the original. <br /><br />I'll be more attentive on the decade list. I promise!Kathie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11855869667016065649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960801109466931460.post-22531209752823784852010-01-14T09:30:53.136-06:002010-01-14T09:30:53.136-06:00Hi Kathie --

Must admit though that I don't rate the two films on your top 12 list that I've seen (24 City and Gomorrah) as highly as you... Ah well, different strokes for different folks -- also, can I ask whether you forgot Ponyo or really just don't rate it as highly? :SYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4960801109466931460.post-25302901351614378892010-01-13T21:40:15.060-06:002010-01-13T21:40:15.060-06:00Definitely doing a decade list; probably show up a...Definitely doing a decade list; probably show up around the end of the month.

And maybe a bonus decade's director list? <br /><br />Hopefully ranked, or if that's too tough, grouped.

We did not fall asleep. No way you could do that. I liked that music they played 3/4 of the way through! Hurt Locker is to arrive today or tomorrow! A nice, much-awaited list.

I'm really glad to see Dr Parnassus here- I haven't seen it on any Best Of list except for mine!
