So prioritize for me:
Inglorious Bastards
Public Enemies
A Serious Man
Glad I held off on queuing Deadwood series, and they didn't yet come thru on Mad Men Season 3, Moon, Hurt Locker, The Informant.

Basterds

Public Enemies
I wouldn't trust anyone who would rank them any other way. I enjoyed all those movies (for very different reasons), but that's a very clear order for them, IMO.
I saw my first Fassbinder last night. *polishes monocle with handkerchief* Ali: Fears Eats the Soul. Thought it was great - kind of heavy handed with the race stuff early on, but it gets more complex as the film progresses and the romance was done with a really graceful, subtle touch. And the photography is fantastic.

I like for movies that portend to be about history, to actually somewhat follow history. That was my big problem with Public Enemies, but I thought Depp did a fantastic job as Dillinger.

Normally, I'm a real turd about that too but I don't know quite enough about the Dillinger thing to say how accurate it was.

Way, way off. Key points in the movie are completley overblown and timelines are ignored.
man, why do i continue to watch stuff like this? beyond disturbing but
still an amazing movie. powerful, beautiful, blah blah blah.. all that, but
really a messed up movie. the stoning scene is well over 30 minutes and
is one of the most brutal things i've ever seen in a movie... and best of
all, it's a true story and things like this continue to happen all the time
in the middle east.
