Man on Wire was good, but for me not good enough for a Best of Decade list (Touching the Void tackled similar ground but in a way that was, for me, much more inspirational. And I hate mountaineering).<br /><br />Best documentary? What about Murder on a Sunday Morning (an Oscar-winning French take on Florida's judicial system -- and a brilliant defence of the much-maligned public defenders); or Enron, Smartest Guys in the Room (who knew auditing could be so gripping)?<br /><br />Tom: I am shocked. Only 6? You're not even trying. As one of my colleagues insists on shouting, "Hitchcock is as Important as Shakespeare". Can't see that myself, but film is the medium of the 21st century -- forget those dull old books...LeDuchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088316003444131654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14186457.post-67571910299254252972010-01-27T12:22:26.488+01:002010-01-27T12:22:26.488+01:00agreed! man on wire was sublime.

Very creative and subversive yet maintaining an overall cohesion. And I am no dylan fan.<br /><br />I liked Perfume purely on the visuals, but would probably not watch it again. I might withdraw that one actually.<br /><br />Oh, and I'd also like to add Man on Wire too (as best in docu genre).TheFastestIndianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707725781403618243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14186457.post-75499072915469270792010-01-26T23:08:43.811+01:002010-01-26T23:08:43.811+01:00I've only seen 6 of those.

I should really try and rectify this.<br />For a couple of more light hearted entries I'd add 2 Days in Paris and probably also I'm Not There.<br />For pure visual impact I'd also include Perfume, though this was also flawed in other areas.TheFastestIndianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01707725781403618243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14186457.post-28751109483850473252010-01-25T23:38:27.951+01:002010-01-25T23:38:27.951+01:00utterly complimentary. with a few exceptions that ...utterly complimentary. with a few exceptions that only prove our point.FKJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16123000788542217101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14186457.post-90110636984557755392010-01-25T23:11:23.414+01:002010-01-25T23:11:23.414+01:00I am in awe of your list.

I love that film.<br /><br />And I had completely forgotten that both House of Mirth and Together were in this decade.<br /><br />And how could I have missed out New World -- what a stunning choice.<br /><br />Can't go with you on Mulholland Dr., which I thought was a mess, and (this is shameful) I actually fell asleep during 2046. I only woke up when I did a loud snore. I am a barbarian. Sorry.<br /><br />Actually, I'm surprised by how much cross-over we managed.
