8. Coffee & Cigarettes (Jim Jarmusch, U.S.)

Films I’m sure would have made the list had I seen them:
· A Dirty Shame
· Sideways
Runner-up for Number 11 spot:
· Love in Thoughts (Germany)
The two reasons why this list is still unfinished and up for revision between now and January:
· The Aviator

Wholly enjoyable films that I loved but were by no means “great”:
· Bad Santa
· Fahrenheit 9/11
· Shawn of Dead
· Soul Plane
Worst films of the year:
1. The Passion of the Christ (Mel Gibson's asshole)
2. Look At Me (France)
3. Layer Cake (U.K.)
