        You are right Mark. My pick was T2 but more than 20 years old. Next best was T3.

  You want a list of truly memorable, intelligent, and important films of the past 10 years? This is a good list...

    I, Mr. Mainstream his own self, have seen 9 of those:)

    And where the heck was City of Life and Death. It'd be # 2 on my list of 10 best foreign films I've seen in the last 10 years after Lives of Others which was, simply, overwhelming in its greatness.

    • Great foreign directors? Here ya go! Zhang Ke Jia; Bier; Ang Lee; Tarr; Wong Kar Wai; Miyazaki; - tinear 13:42:19 12/22/14 (0)
      In Reply to: RE: Sorry, that can;t be a very good list as posted by Road Warrior on December 22, 2014 at 10:59:46

      Sakurov; Kiarostami; Dumont (Bruno).
      That is NOT exhaustive; easily could be triple that number.
      Each one has several excellent films that should make a "best of the millennium" list.
