Bear in mind we in Britain didn't get About Schmidt or Catch Me if You Can till 2003, and haven't got Adaptation yet..sigh

My best ones I saw at the flicks last year were Hable Con Ella, The Warrior, Abril Despdacedo, Devils Backbone, Dog Soldiers, 28 Days Later, The Quiet American, All or Nothing, Sweet Sixteen, Road To Perdition

...and so far this year it's been great stuff with the Pianist, City of God and Spider.
