Until I go and see Milk and/or Frost/Nixon I really don't see much competition for this year.

I'm looking forward to seeing both Milk and Frost/Nixon, but they're going to have to be pretty damn special indeed to beat this film:

looks like a pretty good film
I'll keep an eye out for it next time I'm in France
That makes me sound right rich, that.

I'm not going to bother making my own list, since that'd be a lot of work, but I'm guessing more of you need to see 1994's Hoop Dreams. Don't give me any crap about not being interested in basketball either. That's missing the forest for the trees.

1993: Groundhog Day - What if Bill Murray had to wake up everyday and go to that hipster party until he learned to accept that most young folks today are going to judge his entire body of work by whatever Wes Anderson films they've seen him in?

Does somebody have a list of every film released in Australia, 1979-present? If not, my list will look somewhat patchy (years are Australia release dates, not necessarily year of production):

- 1986: Hannah and Her Sisters
- 1999: the Dreamlife of Angels
- 2000: Fucking Åmål (a.k.a. Show Me Love)
- 2003: Etre et Avoir (a.k.a. To Be and To Have)

Dude, I still haven't even seen the first one all the way through.  I couldn't stand either of those for more than 30 minutes at a time.
