I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for the Foreign Language Movies Countdown, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it.

Great list so far, mrblond!

Sad I missed getting a ballot in, but I tend to miss these things sometimes. Still having fun watching the countdown...

Curious to see where Mulholland Drive falls...

#10. Werckmeister Harmonies - 52 pts. (included in 7 lists)

Director: Béla Tarr
Starring: Lars Rudolph, Peter Fitz, Hanna Schygulla, Alfréd Járai
---

Okay gang, we're stepping into Top 10.

I've never seen Werckmeister Harmonies, but every time I see it mentioned on the forum I'm reminded of Loner's brilliant one-sentence review of it:

And I'm convinced that I would hate it.

I actually think it would make for a good introduction to Tarr's filmography, provided you're new to his films.

Also, it was #6 on my ballot.

#9. Amores perros [Love's a Bitch] - 52 pts. (included in 8 lists)

Director: Alejandro González Iñárritu
Starring: Gael García Bernal, Vanessa Bauche, Goya Toledo, Álvaro Guerrero

I think Werckmeister Harmonies is great, but that is not an inaccurate review.

#8. 一一 [Yi Yi] - 53 pts. (included in 8 lists)

Director: Edward Yang
Starring: Wu Nien-Jen, Elaine Jin, Issei Ogata, Kelly Lee

Yi Yi was #9 on my ballot.

#7. O Brother, Where Art Thou? - 57 pts. (included in 7 lists)

Director: Joel Coen
Starring: George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, John Goodman

I haven’t seen Amores Perros or Yi Yi and I don’t care for O Brother

I watched Yi Yi for the Foreign Language Countdown. I liked it enough that it almost made my list.

#6. Dancer in the Dark - 58 pts. (included in 8 lists)

Director: Lars von Trier
Starring: Björk, Catherine Deneuve, David Morse, Peter Stormare

#5. American Psycho - 62 pts. (included in 11 lists)
