Good list. I haven't seen all of these yet, unfortunately.

My #1 so far is (hands down) "Michael Clayton" followed by "No Country for Old Men."


No, "There Will Be Blood" or have you had a chance to see it yet?

Haven't seen it yet. Well, I had the academy screener at my apartment, put it on, and after 20 minutes,I turned it off. It was too much of a tour de force masterwork to see for the first time at my apartment; needs a HUGE screen. I will be seeing the film on New Year's Day.

You should be ashamed of yourself for not watching the screener when you had a chance.
