Can I say that after years of seeing comments in most any community or board devolve into ad hominem attacks and participants who have no ability to see the other side of an argument and work with it, this place really seemed to be the exception?

Anyways, if any one is still out there, what films have you dug on the past year and four months?

I've been coming from a similar place. A general melancholy has set in but film will pull me out of it on occasion. I'm glad that you liked Happy-Go-Lucky! I still need to go back and finish Hitler: A Film From Germany

Here's mine:
Life Is Sweet (continuing on the Mike Leigh love)
Tattooed Life
Shadows In Paradise
Passing Strange

i caught life is sweet and naked this year as well. both were excellent, and i look forward to more. i've never heard of any of the rest of your list, but i will check them out.

hey man, I hope you're doing well. I'm not sure I 100% agree with how you saw this place, but I will say that our ad hominem attacks tended to be witty and thoughtful and based on logic and reality as opposed to boring status quo nonsense.

I've been using letterboxd.com a lot, both as a means to keep track of what I watch and to occasionally put up my thoughts on certain films: http://letterboxd.com/anhonestmess/

Also, bad_juice, bob_le_flambeur, dominoparker, and I do podcasts about movies we watched as well! They can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN4I05mRDT6XvxORtiHlWyg

I miss this community a lot sometimes, but I doubt I'd have the time for it anymore. So good to hear from you.

the best movies I've seen in the past little bit are Wendy & Lucy, Snake Eyes, Margaret, and West Side Story.
