Recently Film Comment featured a compilation of lists by different filmmakers of their favourite movies (the list was relegated to films made between 2000-2010).
This prompted me to look at some of the movies I have watched over the past year that I find noteworthy. I don't want to do a "top ten" because invariably I'd omit things that are truly wonderful and I cannot bear to do that. Instead here is a comprehensive list of films that made a distinct impression on me in recent months.
- The Runaways (indie)
- The White Ribbon (foreign/auteur)
- Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire (indie)
- Let The Right One In (foreign/auteur)
- The Ghost Writer (Polanski)
- Antichrist (foreign/auteur)
- A Single Man (indie/foreign)
- A Serious Man (Coen Brothers)
- Invictus (Clint Eastwood)
- Young Victoria (indie/Britain)
- An Education (indie)
- Fantastic Mr. Fox (Wes Anderson)
- Lorna's Silence (Dardenne Brothers/foreign)
- Dead Snow (zombies!)
- Zombieland (zombies!)
- Bright Star (foreign/Jane Campion/auteur)
- The Bad Leiutenant, Port of Call New Orleans (Herzog)
- Gran Torino (Eastwood)
- Moon (Sci Fi, Duncan Bowie/auteur)

Oooh, as always I love your choice in film! I'm not into zombie myself, but I know you love it and I'm sure they're good... but I love the rest of the list and, believe it or not, haven't seen any of them! I just don't get to movies anymore... I eventually catch them on DVD or even TV. Thanks for this great information!
