Haha, yeah, I somehow manage to squeeze all those things in while watching so many movies. Not that I think I'll be watching them this regularly throughout the year.
Pretty happy with my showing this year, even though I'll probably drop to 7th if and when rwebb updates. But next year I shall defeat you mightysparks, even if I have to alienate everyone I care about! (But seriously... well done!)
1. Tout va Bien (Jean-Luc Godard, 1972)
2. A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg, 2001)

9. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Trey Parker, 1999)
10. Show Me Love (Lukas Moodysson, 1998)
All these films strike me as landmark pictures within their own genre and they jumped out of me when I considered this category in the way that Zacharyyy originally did (which seems like the best way to approach this category, imo).

20. Un Chien Andalou (Luis Bunuel, 1929)
After much agonising, this was about the best I could do in terms of putting together a list I was happy with. Would probably look way different if I did it all again tomorrow but I guess that's the nature of the beast. However, the films on this list are all masterpieces in my opinion -- it's just that there are so many other masterpieces too! (The seen and the unseen.)

Hi, I'd be delighted to contribute to these. Will try to get my votes in to these polls as soon as possible.
The slashes indicate a rewatch of a film I'd already seen before. So I've not yet been lucky enough to have seen the great Rear Window in theatres.
