One less,cause I saw “The New World” yesterday night.But,unlike Weeresethakul,this one was great.Incredibly beatiful.It will surely have a place in my list,unless I see 3-4 really great movies from this decade until March 1st(something that I doubt,very much).

Great list, Kenji. I’m especially glad to see “The Name of a River” ranked second, and as well regard “Eureka” as the best Japanese film of the decade. Unfortunately I still got quite a few films to watch, but should be able to make a list until the end of this month.
I look forward to it, Apursansar!
