I haven't heard it mentioned as an MD'A fave at all, if I had to guess I would guess that he hasn't seen it and it doesn't seem like his thing anyways. Feel free to send whatever guesses you have but expect no confirmation or denial.
Secret Fest #1 was a little more high profile, although I still hadn't heard of it. It was a first time director and had some buzz from an earlier major festival award.
It is difficult for me to give a hint on this as I had never heard of the film or the director before today, and there has apparently been very little buzz on either. It was a dry literary adaptation with wooden performances and couldn't hold my attention at all despite the "eroticism."
a) If Steve is going to count this in his count then so am I
b) One thing noteworthy about this episode is that CSI is rarely about things happening TO the characters but more about things happening AROUND them. Yes there are exceptions, but this one really struck a mood that I felt was pretty unique for the series. The closing scene was really good too I though. For you to expect him to make the show look and act differently is unrealistic, people like this show, why would he do that? If he made something completely out of the ordinary I would consider it a failure. I actually admired the way he integrated the show's history and standards into his own vision.
Every year the Seattle Film Festival runs a program called the Secret Festival where they show films that for one reason or another they cannot legally publicize or reveal. Sometimes it is new films that have been promised exclusively to another festival. Sometimes it is old films that are tied up in rights entanglements. Sometimes its just goofy stuff. However, the attendees must sign the OATH OF SILENCE swearing to never reveal the films seen. Thus the asterisks.
Not only did I laugh more at this movie than at possibly any movie I have seen before, but it also has a lot on its mind in terms of what comedy is and how people perform it. Thinkfilm has picked it up and its getting a release in August so you'll get your chance.
Also why haven't you watched One, Two, Three yet
Exterminating Angel is the obvious winner here, I don't see why there's even any discussion.

Oh sorry, not first time, my mistake.

Each * represents a character, be it letter space or punctuation. Not gonna make it easy on you!

Oh man, I knew that lyric rang a bell but I couldn't quite place it. That is one of my favorite Wire songs too.
it is hard to believe that nobody pegged #34 - "Day Of The Lords" by Joy Division

Yeah, but so far you're not missing anything
I don't even think its the best movoie Bunuel ever made, but its still pretty great. That final shot is beyond heartbreaking.
