k,
#1 so far is The New World (Malick).
Most highly anticipated is Ferrara's Mary and Allen's Match Point.
Update: Well, still no Mary, but Allen's Match Point was okay. Not nearly as great as I had been hoping, though.
Bubble, however, is certainly going to make the final top 10.

I have seen Ferrara's Mary and it is quite good. Binoche and Whitaker are terrific in the film. The film is very heavy on religious ponderings and philosophy so if you like that sort of stuff, then you'll like it. Not Ferrara's best film but far from his worst. I liked it but Match Point was for me the far better film.Oedipax wrote:#1 so far is The New World (Malick).

Having now seen both The Departed and The Lives of Others in the cinema again in 2007, I must say I was previously mistaken. And what the fuck, to continue the theme of revisionism, Marie Antoinette replaces The Fountain.
Oh yeah, El Crimen Perfecto would certainly have made the cut had I not felt silly about including a 2004 film.
