Nice list by the way. Broken Flower, Lost in Translation, and The Wrestler would be on my shortlist for that decade as well. Mary & Max was great too.  |
There is admittedly a lot of more realistic leaning movies among my favorites, but if you look at other decades, some fantasy does creep in and even the very rare appearance of a few horror films. I love Bram Stoker's Dracula, Legend, Labyrinth, The Thing, most Alien movies... so it's not all rooted in realism.
But yeah, I probably do lean in that direction to a high degree.
Oh and if there's one movie on the above list that I feel convinced, that a lot of people would like, if only they gave it a shot:
Ruang rak noi nid mahasan (Last Life in the Universe)
I watched it on a whim a couple years ago and it completely took me by surprise how good it was.
