Whoa! This was a really hard one. I kept scrolling down IMDB and more and more great films were popping up. So much so that I had to steal another 10.

  • 11. Mystic River
  • 12. Primer
  • 13.Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  • 14. Hellboy
  • 15. Fahrenheit 9/11
  • 16. Million Dollar Baby

As I'm a huge Richard Linklater fan I really wanted to mention Before Sunset. But I really thought it was by far the weakest of the trilogy. The conversational interplay just didn't feel as fascinating or natural as the other two for me. Mean Creek is a film I always intended to watch but never got around to. I must do so.

Yes 2004 was a vintage year! For the record my second ten, many of which would make the main list in many years, would be:

  • Downfall
  • Birth
  • The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
  • Summer Storm
  • Machuca
  • Sideways
  • The Motorcycle Diaries
  • Millions
  • The Assassination of Richard Nixon
  • Howl's Moving Castle

I haven't actually seen Before Sunset since 2005. I loved it every bit as much as Before Sunrise but what really put it over the top for me was the ending, which was near perfect.

Mean Creek is a terrific film, gripping, disturbing and stunningly photographed.

Yeah, I did like the ending. And I like the whole idea of the film. The third can't exist without it. But I felt it just seemed to have less passion behind it. It was a lot shorter than the other two. It felt kind of rushed. I don't dislike it and I did prefer it on the second watch. But I see it more as a bridge between the other two rather than a great film itself. But I could be over critical because the first one is one of my favourite films.

Mystic River was released in 2003.

As always, in no particular order:

Hellboy (the only superhero movie I like)

Finding Neverland

Wimbledon

House of Flying Daggers (not sure if I should include this on 2005's list, it's when it went to 'wide release')

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring

Les Choristes

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

Ocean's Twelve
