And I was going to include "City of God" as well, but I think it wasn\’t released in the U.S. until the following year.

My favorites were: Gangs of New York, Far From Heaven, Adaptation, Talk to Her, The Pianist, Y Tu Mama Tambien, About Schmidt, Punch Drunk Love, Minority Report, What Time Is It There? and Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner. Also, have a soft spot for "Road to Perdition," which I liked better than most others did.

It became a Donald Kaufman film.

It\’s okay, just blame it on Edward Davis.

Much better than Tarkovsky\’s sterile version.

If it feels disjointed, there\’s a purpose to that.

A true masterpiece, and nobody have top it since.

I think it should be release data in country of origin. Netflix usually has that year, and that is what I go by.

How it turned into a suspense film was completely natural considering Kaufman\’s struggle with the process of making the story interesting. He was adapting to his circumstances in the best way possible.

I have to agree with the number 1 and 2 choices. Absolutely amazing films that I need to explore once again.

My favourite film of this century so far, though if Before Sunset tops your poll in two days time, that\’s its closest contender for me. Both sublime.

Sidenote: Is there any way we could add a note after each film about whether it\’s available on Netflix streaming?
