I've been resisting it . . . but I'm caving in. My top ten films of the year (including re-releases) in no particular order.

Millenium Mambo by Hou Hsiao Hsien
Vendredi Soir by Clair Denis
Lost in Translation by Sofia Coppola
Unknown Pleasures by Jia Zhang Ke
Los Angeles Plays Itself by Thomas Andersen
demonlover by Olivier Assayas
Au hasard Balthazar by Robert Bresson
Sans Soleil by Chris Marker
Millenium Actress by Satoshi Kon
Elephant by Gus Vant Sant

And applause for the Fassbinder retrosepective that made its way around the country last year.
