ReplyDeleteno Doubt?
ReplyDeleteGonzo was great
ReplyDeletethanks about Cloverfield and Gonzo...Doubt just left me wanting more, and the direction annoyed me, if that makes any sense
ReplyDeleteHappy Go Lucky is better than your entire list
ReplyDeleteare you nuts dude? that film was harder to sit through than the dentist...i would say any film on his list is better (except maybe Charlie Bartlett or Funny Games)
ReplyDeletegreat list!!!! though i might have added Last Chance Harvey or Hellboy 2
ReplyDeletedecent list...some stuff i'd have added/dumped, but i like the mixed bag that it is...props
ReplyDelete-Carlos

ReplyDeleteand in terms of Happy-Go-Lucky, I felt that it was a very average movie with a rather great lead performance, but not something that would crack the list...but that's just me
