My Top Ten, or wussing out thereupon

• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
• I ♥ Huckabees
• Before Sunset
• The Incredibles
• Kill Bill, Vol.s 1 & 2
• Sideways

Competing for the remaining four toes are Bad Education, Bright Young Things, Carandiru, Closer, Collateral, Control Room, Dolls, Garden State, The Girl Next Door, Hellboy, A Home At the End of the World, Kinsey, Mean Girls, The Mother, Napoleon Dynamite, Shaun of the Dead, Silver City, Spider-Man 2, and Tarnation. Not to mention I had nice things to say here and there about The Aviator, Cellular, Fahrenheit 9/11, and 50 First Dates, the last of which might have even made the top if I'd seen more than the last twenty minutes.

I notice that of my top six, I've only written about two of them so far, and both of those have been epigrammatic at best. So I'll try to round that out.

I didn't feel deeply about many of the movies listed here, with the exception of my top three. David Edelstein wrote, "Any year that produces Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a great one for movies," and I can't disagree, but I saw fewer and loved fewer. Maybe that's 'cause I started a blog about them.

UPDATE: H. saw Bad Education last night and reminded me just how smart and good it was. I think if I hadn't been quite so sleepy, it would have been an easy number 7.
