Movies I need to re-watch before making my inevitable favourite X movies of the decade list
The leaderboard:
Army of Shadows
Before Sunset
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Far from Heaven
Funny Ha Ha
Ghost World
Hamlet
Happy-Go-Lucky
King Kong
Kings and Queen
La Commune
Mulholland Drive
Spellbound
Springtime in a Small Town
The Best of Youth
The New Country
The Return of the King
The Wayward Cloud
Time Out
Yi Yi
Could easily move up on a second viewing:
A History of Violence
Beau travail (really 1999 I suppose)
Elephant
Femme Fatale
Flight of the Red Balloon
Friday Night
Goodbye, Dragon Inn
I'm Not There
Inland Empire
Land of the Dead
Lost in Translation
Persepolis
Spider
The Beat That My Heart Skipped
Three Times
To Be and To Have
For the acting:
Before Night Falls
Iris
Michael Clayton
Sexy Beast
The Last Mistress
The Pianist
Can't be as bad as I first thought it was:
Million Dollar Baby
Haven't yet seen:
A Christmas Tale
Cadillac Records
Che (part 2)
and there are surely other contenders I'm neglecting.
Have already made up my mind about:
In Praise of Love (anti-Yank sentiment less annoying on second viewing, if I make a top 100 it'll be in the bottom half)
In the Mood for Love (have seen it three times, probably top ten but not number one)
