Re: The KJ Top 10 Lists Just a cautionary FYI to make my life easier when I start compiling the lists... please try to refrain from reposting newer versions of your top 10 and instead, edit your original posts. Thanks in advance!! =D

Actually, what the hell. 10. Ghost Town. I have yet to see: Documentaries, A Christmas Tale, I've Loved You So Long, Happy-Go-Lucky, Revolutionary Road, Doubt, Benjamin Button, The Wrestler, The Class, Waltz with Bashir among others. :-o you saw Wendy and Lucy?

Re: The KJ Top 10 Lists Yup.
In a way it makes it even more painful, realizing that it will almost certainly miss out on awards entirely.
I do believe Michelle Williams gives the best performance of the year in it and the movie itself would not be entirely out of place next to a film from the Italian neo-realist movement.

Re: The KJ Top 10 Lists Can't wait to see it. I saw Rev.Road on Saturday. It may break in at #10 or something unless I see something better. Saw The Reader and The Class today (24th) and wasn't particularly taken by either. Will see Benjamin Button tomorrow (well, technically today) and hopefully Wendy and Lucy and Gomorrah on Friday.  Edit 12/25: Liked Benjamin Button but probably not quite top 10. Gomorrah is now out of theaters till February =( Gran Torino tomorrow!

Re: The KJ Top 10 Lists Ok, I got bored so I started tabulating already. I will try to update this at the least every 2 weeks.
The KJ Poster Top 10 (by Passion Index)
As of January 4 5:00PM
Rank/Movie/Top 10s/#1s
1. The Dark Knight (15/4)
2. Wall-E (14/4)
3. Slumdog Millionaire (9/1)
4. Milk (5)
5. In Bruges (8)
6. The Visitor (8)
7. Vicky Cristina Barcelona (8)
7. Iron Man (5)
9. Cloverfield (5)
9. Man on Wire (5)
11. Wrestler (3)
On the Cusp (not in ranked order): Tropic Thunder, Surfwise, Happy-go-Lucky, Australia, Wendy and Lucy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall
The top 3 at this point look impenetrable but anything else can drastically shoot up with a single #1 ranking.
