danny,
i don't want to make a top ten, because i didn't enthusiastically love ten movies
this year. maybe i'm just not seeing enough. maybe film is dead.

being john malkovich
those who love me can take the train

american movie
fight club
go
cookie's fortune
last night
the matrix
limbo

fine, there are ten. film is still alive.

#3 - straight story. revise my list as necessary. david lynch has restored my
faith in cinema. those slow fades. the visual patterns of the cornfields, the
roads, the houses. sissy's stutter. the deer. the worst thing about getting old
is remembering being young.
really made me think that i need to try to just let things go more.
