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.

Upgraded Jackson would have actually made The Hobbit.

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.

I've got no real opinion on the Harry Potter movies. I've watched only three of them - out of order and not even one's that connected to each other side by side either.

Don't murder me for saying so, but I kinda see them as kid's movies. They're based on YA books after all. Doesn't mean adults can't watch them (even I liked the Golden Compass movie), but it's just not a series of movies that I feel any desire or need to catch up with.

Ja they're definitely kid's films. LOTR too.
