But curious, what about it doesn't work as well for you?<br /><br />Also, what did you think of Fessenden's Last Winter? That one's my personal favourite of his films so far.<br /><br />- David H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668842.post-61226269461796716642009-12-25T07:12:49.119-05:002009-12-25T07:12:49.119-05:00*really hoping millennium actress is in your 2003 ...*really hoping millennium actress is in your 2003 list*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9668842.post-72501823255336046222009-12-25T07:00:33.632-05:002009-12-25T07:00:33.632-05:00Glad to see adaptation. continues to resonate with...Glad to see adaptation. continues to resonate with you, Walter. I still think it's the high point of Kaufman's career. Eternal Sunshine is probably more universal in its appeal but for some reason the Cooper/Streep relationship moved me much more deeply than Carrey/Dunst did. That probably says more about me, though.<br /><br />I'm glad the Solaris remake is up there.

My top for 2002 was Punch-Drunk Love, though I admit I haven't seen it since, partially because I fear it wasn't as good as I remember it to be :)<br /><br />Runner-ups for me this year: Bourne Identity (still the best of the three, to me), and Adaptation.

I think he employed stage trickery in a way that more film directors should consider. Clooney wowed me without resorting to computer effects.
