I'd only add that while the scenes with TROBB are unpleasant, they are of course deliberately so, leading the audience's proxy to murder a stranger to protect his child.  The supporting character has to provoke the moral crisis for the protagonist.

My top 10 to be added St Blink Jul 07, 14:24

is there any consensus or trends from the data so far? {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 07, 11:32

i'm holding off totaling things until i get all the lists (tab two is the rollups). at a glance, its skewing more niche than blockbuster {nm} Moviesnob Jul 07, 11:37

Noice, looking forward to seeing it all in the end. I watched a couple from the lists of others already. Thanks again for making the poll. {nm} tatoufan Jul 07, 15:32

Here's my list. second gary Jul 07, 14:29

Omitted honourables from 2000: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; You Can Count on Me; Maelstrom. {nm} second gary Jul 07, 14:42

Love you can count on me, nice call. {nm} journey Jul 07, 22:01

Spirited Away, classic. I had a hard time bumping that one off my list. {nm} tatoufan Jul 07, 15:39

I left documentaries off my list, but Stories We Tell is such a beautiful film. great list gary. {nm} lobogotti Jul 07, 19:33

It reminds me, at least in the ending, of. . . (spoilers) second gary Jul 07, 21:02

nice list. I am also a huge fan of Incendies. I haven been crazy about his work since this one, but his and his two previous films Moviesnob Jul 07, 19:55

I haven't seen "Polytechnique" yet, but "Maelstrom" and "Sicario" are both longlisters. second gary Jul 07, 20:56

he's hit and miss for me. Tom at the Farm is a good entry film. I really wanted to like Sicario and think it was well made Moviesnob Jul 07, 22:06

Do we need the directors on the list? Because I don't remember who directed most of my movies {nm} JDolphin Jul 07, 18:15

nope {nm} Moviesnob Jul 07, 18:51
