Hey Noel Murray!
Thanks for the shout out to "One Wing." That song is one of Wilco's best. Jeff Tweedy sometimes veers towards generic sentiment (see "You And I"), but "One Wing" managed to wrap simple emotion into a weird metaphysical poem that would have made John Donne proud.

Yep. Little people are funny.

The Lives Of Others isn't saccharine. I don't think you know what that word means.

Oh I get it. Like Taran Wanderer. Gurgi was the shit.

Oddly enough, somewhere in that comment, Justin Hankins has essentially honed in on the dilemma Spielberg creates for himself by being shamelessly populist and very talented at the same time.

What's that? Brad Pitt waving a bunch of snakes around? How do you not put it on the list? That's some fucked up surrealist shit right there.

Yeah, I blame a) Scarlett Johansson's refusal to be in good movies since LiT and b) Sofia Coppola's extremely low output since 2003.

@ Tiger of the Mirror

Primer is fucked up.

But couldn't at least 8 of those be considered "artsy" and "overhyped"?

Punch Drunk Love is funny as balls.

Thank you, A.V. Club, for not including anything by Clint Eastwood. I know he could kill me just by looking at me, but his movies aren't that great. Good, reliable, etc. but not great.

Eh…

I AM A GOLDEN GOD!!

The Lives Of Others is one of those understated movies that stays with you. I would definitely include it. I was pissed when it beat Pan's Labyrinth in the Oscars, but then I saw it and I had to say, it was just as good in its own way.

I agree. The Wizard is an idiot and Let The Right One In should have been included.

Lost In Translation, bitches.
Lost In Translation. Bitches.

Don't listen to them, Aaron. We zombies have to stick together.

And yet, sadly, all of you would probably make out with her given the chance….
