Best movies last two years

Sin City and Pride and Prejudice.

Have you seen Lady Vengeance yet?

We did see "Lady Vengeance". Absolutely incredible film. Unique, twisty, and visually stunning.

Others:
"The Best of Youth" (Italy) was superb.
"L'Enfant", the heart-breaking Belgian film by the Dardenne Brothers, who unlike Les Freres Coen, have yet to make a dud.

recently watched: Two French films made in 1987. Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring. A quiet epic made into two movies best watched as a whole - Manon is the sequel. It tells the story of Jean de Florette and his family, is set in Provance, and is a Greek tragedy that quietly expands as the story goes and doesn't stop resonating until the last scene.

I didn't realize "Manon" was a sequel. May I recommend "Kinky Boots" and Ozu's "Floating Weeds" (the original version)? The later version of "Floating Weeds" was playing on IFC the other night, and I was surprised; not anywhere near as good. I'm trying to think of a weirder double bill than the two above, but not coming up with much... Usually every time I see another "working class" film out of the UK, I think that I've seen it before; they're all kind of the same. Well "Kinky Boots" isn't.

more recently...not a movie per se, but the update on what is I think perhaps the greatest documentary of all time 7 up....this year 49 up. Basically a documentary about kids of different social classes in the UK...revisit them every 7 years: started at age 7, most recent one in 49 years of age...simply amazing: crucially, not judgemental nor preachy....we see them for ourselves and make our own judgments....started out as a comment on social classes but now really about life itself. Most highly recommended. Make sure you see the whole thing starting with 7 Up.
