I recommend "Shop Girl" (Steve Martin)a serious and interesting love story; It is a beautiful portrait of a very feminine, somewhat idealized young woman. It's probably on DVD now.
I too thought Crash was outstanding. I haven't seen enough this year for sure-I didn't see even one of the Four star choices.
Your lists are fascinating for what they reveal about you more than what they reveal about movies or books. The aesthetic of someone who thinks a movie like Oceans 12 or Be Cool is better than Tati's Playtime is original and deserving of analysis. Some kind of analysis anyway...
If you enjoy seeing a movie about someone wondering around an airport, then "Playtime," is the movie for you. There is no discernable plot, and the dialogue is snatches of unconnected overheard conversations. I hope the analysis would show the list was compiled by someone who doesn't care much about what the official critics say about a movie. But if you want to read what the official critics say, then go read the New York Times instead of wasting your time reading this blog by an uneducated Amish boy.
