A FEMALE PERSPECTIVE

I've dragged my fiance to so many movies this year. A casual movie goer in the past, she's fast becoming a film buff. She refuses to put them in a one to ten order so here's ten of her favorites of the year (pre THERE WILL BE BLOOD, which we leave for momentarily, and SWEENEY TODD, RATATOUILLE):

DIVING BELL & THE BUTTERFLY
ONCE
ENCHANTED
THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE
JUNO
INTO THE WILD
WAITRESS
BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD
MICHAEL CLAYTON
EASTERN PROMISES

(first runner up: KNOCKED UP)

(second runner up: THE SAVAGES)

(extended runners up: AMERICAN GANGSTER, 300, TRANSFORMERS, RESCUE DAWN, THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, ZODIAC, BLACK SNAKE MOAN).

yah Once! absolutely one of the best of the year. glad to see Rescue Dawn in your runner ups too. an amazing film with some incredibly overlooked performances.
looking forward to seeing Things we lost in the fire.
you have assembled a very impressive list. no wonder you are the apple of actionman's eye.
