Actually, these are just "the cream of the crop." I still have to post another batch of films that aren't far behind. 2005 wasn't merely a good year, it was a GREAT year in film (at least when it comes to films that came out in the U.S.) Watch the latest from Denis and Rivette and the two from Bellocchio, etc. and your list might expand too! (Anyway, my list is relatively short compared to one from A.)
