I always take issue with how critics will just haphazardly include movies in their lists regardless of their actual release date. For example, the Miike works from 2001-2003 in this year's list.

Demonlover had some fun stuff, but it was also incoherent and, once you parsed it out, not all that interesting. I would swap that with, say, Lilya 4-Ever. But I've only seen nine of the top 25.

I'm also rather surprised that Mystic, and even more shockingly Penn, both ended up off the ten "winners." And I think J. Rosenbaum including Cold Mountain on his personal top ten is as odd and surprising as Ebert including The Son on his.

demonlover was terrible. it was Very Serious and Edgy and pretty boring. porno/espionage plot good mainly for having people wear great clothes in chilly interiors; a dress that hung off connie nielsen's shoulder hit with harder force than seeing her chained to a bedframe in bondage gear and electrocuted. (maybe that means it was great)

Finding Nemo was excellent! It should have been way up there. Where is Pieces of April? Am I the only person in the world who loved this film?
No fair adding Fog of War, it won't even open in most cities until February. I hate that shit. And who has even seen Cold Mountain? It's like they hold these films away from the common plebes and heap awards and accolades on them in order to force you to want to see them when they finally open. Bullshit!
