Y'know what's the most frustrating thing about this? You see other lists, and go, "d'oh, I should have listed that".

Well, also, "What are you people? On dope?"

Maybe for next year go with a nominations / vote procedure.

(Royal Tennenbaums is my biggest regret not putting on my list, not the least because the Criterion(!) two disc set sold for about $20 CDN (about half the price of the usual Criteron sets). Which also explains why I'm waiting for Punch Drunk Love on DVD, because I expect it will be fabulous.)
