1. "Far From Heaven"
2. "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind"
3. "Punch-Drunk Love"
4. "Gangs of New York"
5. "Solaris"
6. "Adaptation"
7. "Possession"

The second ten, in alphabetical order: Second ten, in no particular order: "Changing Lanes", "Chicago", "Death to Smoochy", "Frida", "Kissing Jessica Stein", "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", "Minority Report", "Panic Room", "The Pianist", and "Unfaithful".
Special Jury Prizes to "Bowling for Columbine" and "Atanarjuat". In a year when I, unfortunately, saw very few foreign language films, Best Foreign Language Film goes to "Y Tu Mama Tambien".
If there's enough demand, I will expound on any or all of these selections, in public or in private, as called for by the situation. Otherwise, I'll likely rant about the Oscar nominees tomorrow.
(Oh, and a bottom five--which were not necessarily all bad, but which did piss me off to one degree or another: "About Schmidt", "Blade II", "Reign of Fire", "Spider-Man", and "Star Trek: Nemesis".)
