Best of Youth was released this year in the USA. It was a great great movie too. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

Didn't he give 3.5 stars to Munich and 4 stars to King Kong?
Or am I totally off?

Travers also gave Syriana a 4-star, and it's no where to be found on the list. Typical Travers.

Oh man, now it is clear why The New World isn't up for anything. Slant is a great indicator what what will not be nominated.

Tropical Malady?
I remember Dolce wasn't too impressed by it.
But Downfall and Batman Begins behind Broken Flowees? A SHAME!!!

They misspelled 'soldier' in the Tropical Malady section.
That's unforgivable

10. Millions What an odd list. Is it just me or does everything just seem odd this year? Like that isn't a serious top 10 when it's certainly warranted given the year we've had.
I disliked Yes and Me and You and Everyone We Know. Junebug is pretty damn high!
Nine Lives??? I wanted to see that SOO bad, but never remember it getting raves.

If that is indeed Ebert's Top 10, I am finished defending him for a while. I need to cool off.

I liked Crash, but at best I would consider giving it a number 10 position. And Syriana? Let me vomit- overblown tripe.

Wait, just realized: hasn't Ebert been raving about Match Point since Cannes?
