I’ve only seen one of the films on your list, but hope to see one or two more this coming weekend. I was gonna mention a few of my favorites on your previous post but couldn’t come up with 10 — did you see “Igby Goes Down”? It would make my list this year. “One Hour Photo”? And “Solaris” — mostly because anything that isn’t typical Hollywood narrative is okay with me.

I’m glad you mentioned a few of those Mike. I was actually quite curious about both ‘Igby’ and ‘Photo’ but didn’t get around to either of then. ‘Punch Drunk Love’ same thing. ‘Solaris’ I have a weird, frankly snobbish, foible about seeing remakes before I see the original, even though I heard this new version is plenty respectable on its own.

I understand your reluctance about “Solaris” — though I gotta admit a lot of my reservations about the film were Clooney-based. Everything’s a remake nowadays, huh? I do want to see the original.
