Where, and how, did you see The Man Who Invented Gold? Fantastic list, btw! This has to be one of my all-time favorites. Right up there with Rosenbaum's 1,000 favorite films list. Of course, his is a tad more expansive than yours. I'm especially interested in your use of obscure films to represent the more canonical directors on your list, save a few exceptions. Is this intentional, or are those really your favorites by them? Also, I see you have a Pedro Costa film in your top 10. He, too, is one of my favorites. Sadly, I've only been able to see In Vanda's Room w/o English subs, but I've managed to watch all of his other films with subs, save The Blood. I take it you saw them in the cinema, which is probably how you also saw The Man Who Invented Gold, correct? I'm forced to track down obscure films through KG, which is great, but the quality, and experience, is not the same as the cinema, though, that is true of all films, not just obscure ones.
Thanks, man, much appreciated! I was reading your album (and band) reviews over at your place, fantastic stuff, really. I like where you're going with your critiques. I'm flattered that you would use my list as a guide. Also, I don't see a problem with being able to like avant-garde stuff, while at the same time, really digging on a good pop album. Good music is good music no matter what the genre is, you know? Of course, everybody has preferences, mine being pretty well reflected in my top 20, but I can also dig on a genre of music I may not normally listen to, as long as it's interesting to my ear, or makes my booty shake.
Thank you so much, sir!
Changed the format.
Have you seen Silent Light yet? If so, what did you think?

Thanks! You have excellent taste. ;)
