I'm not saying everyone is wrong about him - just that I don't like his movies.

Pan's Labyrinth is so far from being my favorite film of the 00's that it's not even faintly visible in the distance. Last time I watched it, I was feeling very disappointed. I really thought I would like it a bit more than that.

What are some of your favorite movies from that decade?

Mary and Max
The Pianist

I can see why Del Torro wouldn't appeal to you. It looks like your tastes just don't run in the direction fantasy or horror at all. And it looks like the visual stylist type filmmakers you do enjoy are more real world type stylists like Aronofsky, Fincher, and the Coens.

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.

And I wish he did end up actually making them, as he was supposed to at one point... I ****ing hate Peter Jackson's versions.
I think they're bad enough that a complete re-do is justified, even this early.

Ehhh. I think the Jackson movies are very solid efforts. I think you are probably in the minority with that there opinion, feller.

Much better than Harry Potter, for instance.
