I've added all of those

Thanks! I honestly don’t think anyone here will like Elvis and Anabelle (I’m not sure even I would if I rewatched it). Roman de gare may fare only slightly better as it withholds so much information to play with the audience that it’s a coin flip at best whether that delights or infuriates you in practice. Lelouch actually does this a few times in his career and I fucking hated the other times he did it, so I get it if you watch this and get upset, but man this one is just really amusing to me and kinda worth him failing at fucking with us all those times to get it right here (and it’s not an “It’s all a dream” movie, to be clear, but spoiling this movie in advance would 100% render watching it useless)

Some adds please:

Lee Kang-sheng, Help Me Eros [Tsai Ming-liang did the production design for this, and it's great]
Aoyama Shinji, Sad Vacation
Anno Hideaki, Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone
Ishii Yûya, Bakemono moyou [Of monster mode]
Miike Takashi, Tantei monogatari [Detective Story] [Better, for me, than the two other 2006 Miikes currently on the list, Crows and Sukiyaki]

Too bad one the great "experimental" films of the year, Jeanne Liotta's "Observando el cielo", is impossible to see. It demands viewing on a big screen in a completely dark theater, the only movie I've seen that made me feel I was on a spinning planet.

Disturbia
Jane Eyre
Channel Z
?

Thanks

I've added Disturbia but what are those other two? The closest I can find to those are:

Jane Eyre (Susanna White, 2006)
Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession (Xan Cassavetes, 2004)

IMDB has original air date for Jane Eyre as January 21, 2007. Not aware of any festival screening/award.

#25 Post by **swo17** » Fri Sep 04, 2026 8:45 pm

Is this another desktop vs. mobile discrepancy? It's a British miniseries that aired on BBC One from 24 Sep-15 Oct 2006. 21 Jan 2007 was when it started airing on U.S. TV. IMDb (on a desktop), Letterboxd, and Wikipedia all put it in 2006
