[CountDeMoney]

5. Memento (2000)
2. 25th Hour (2002)
1. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (2004)

Shit, forgot those.  Especially Eternal Sunshine.

[FunkMonk]

I enjoyed The Lives of Others, so I think it should be on some list somewhere.

Deservedly.  So would The New World, come to think of it, though I'm afraid that I'd get jumped on for my insane devotion to Terrence Malik.

Dang it, I tried to come up with my own top ten list, but when I checked, most of the films on it turned out to have been from the 90s. 

That probably doesn't say much good about 21st century cinema, but maybe the next decade will be better.

[Fate]

Hmm... my top 10 (in no particular order) for this decade:

1. Der Untergang/Downfall
2. Into the Wild
3. The Lives of Others
4. Michael Clayton
5. There Will Be Blood
6. No Country for Old Men
7. Slumdog Millionaire
8. The Dark Knight
9. Sin City
10. Children of Men

[The Larch]

I can't understand why anyone would dislike von Trier, far less Bjork.

Kidding, right? Spellus is supposed to be the pretentious blowhard, not you, Shelf.

[The Larch]

L'auberge espagnole irritated me.

Why? It's a cute little coming of age comedy, nothing more nothing less.

[The Larch]

Frunk!

You have good taste so sayeth me!

Seconded! 

[Duque de Bragança]

Tropa de Elite/Elite Squad is the one missing in these lists.

[Razgovory]

I tried to watch There Will Be Blood about 3 times, gassed out each time.

Never even heard of Waltz for Bashir, will keep my eyes open for it.

Stop trying to watch it at the dentist's office then.

  I like von Trier a lot, but I absolutely love Bjork.  I thought she was universally admired. 

There's a number of films I forgot about that should be on the list.  Shaun of the Dead, The Incredibles and The Constant Gardener are all terrific films.

Over here they're both posterboys of the kind of stuff affected pretentious artistic elitists enjoy, so maybe you'd feel right at home.

[Tamas]

Whoever wants to leave Almost Famous out of that list has just no clue whatsoever. But Bareback Mountain? Molin Rouge? Give me a break.

Frunk!

Seconded! 

  Thanks.  I think it helped that I cheated and listed 20, bound to find something you and Katmai like.  Spirited Away came in at #21, and if I was ordering them (instead of dippy Flickchart) it would have definitely made the list.  Primer's another one that if I couldn't fit it in would definitely get honorable mention.

Ah, well, in this case the pretentious have a point
