Some very interesting choices, no doubt about that...
ReplyDeleteI share 4 with the LAFCA, and 6 with Nathaniel, but I have not seen Yi Yi or (and I feel guilty about this) Dancer in the Dark.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, I haven't seen Yi Yi either...
ReplyDeleteJust saw "Mulholland Drive", and while it wasn't the best film of the decade, it was awfully good. I can't understand how all four "best of the decade" posts on the "Awards Circuit" main site just ignored it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can only speak for sure on my part, but I found it not worthy of a top 50 slot in my article. There was two big disconnect between the large chunk shot as a television pilot and the climax added on at the end. It felt like two different projects. So that's me, but I know for a fact that Myles dislikes David Lynch films intensely, so it's doubtful it would show on his list either...
