#16. The Heart of the World - 32 pts. (included in 4 lists)

Battle Royale was cool. I don't remember much about Quills or Chicken Run, but remember enjoying both.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is a film I should rewatch. I wasn't a fan when I saw it back in the day; maybe I wasn't used to the wuxia style, maybe the middle act dragged a bit too much, I don't remember... but I've been meaning to go back to it.

The Heart of the World was #7 on my ballot. Solid short film.

The Heart of the World for me

I guess I should check out The Heart of the World. I'm not sure I'd even heard about it before.

I've never had any interest in Crouching Tiger.

So far I have Sexy Beast and Chicken Run making the list. A fine double feature but which one do you watch first...

Had Quills further down than I thought.

Castaway is decent. Haven't bothered with Traffic.

Cast Away was #10 on my ballot. I don't remember a whole lot about it, but I do remember enjoying it quite a bit.

Also, there's an IMDb page for Wilson the Volleyball:

#13. Best in Show - 37 pts. (included in 7 lists)

Director: Christopher Guest
Starring: Jennifer Coolidge, Christopher Guest, John Michael Higgins, Eugene Levy, Michael McKean

Best in Show is hilarious

Best in Show is pretty good. Not my favorite Guest movie, though.

It's been a long time since I saw Billy Elliot, but I remember liking it quite a bit. I'm hoping to rewatch it for the 2000s Countdown.
