YES! The Talented Mr. Ripley is on here! (Thought I was the only one.)
ReplyDeleteClearly we both have impeccable taste :p
ReplyDeleteNice! Love Before Sunrise, The Station Agent, Real Women..., Lars, Volver, and (of course!) Home Alone.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't seen Blue Valentine; must check it out soon.
I've not come across anyone else who likes/has seen Real Women before :D
ReplyDeleteMarry me. Marry me now.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry; I got all worked up when I saw that you had included "The Station Agent" AND "Real Women Have Curves" AND "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" in your list. And "Volver." Did I mention that I love Almodovar? Great list, filmgeek.
Cheers :)
ReplyDeleteAh The Station Agent..pleased to know someone else out there likes this little film...or has even heard of it! Good choice!
ReplyDeleteMe too :) Love getting more people to watch and fall in love with it
ReplyDeleteThough a lot of my picks wouldn't be the same as yours, I really dig your list man.
ReplyDeleteAnd the year hasn't even finished yet, but if a film can topple the beauty that was Blue Valentine, then well, I tip my hat to whatever shall do that, (but I doubt that it is going to be knocked off my number 1, to be fair.)
Great list, though!
Cheers, dude :)
