There are a few... I must be missing out
Headed to Sundance tomorrow for some more movies (I don't say films) that you guys probably don't like
You're not in the wrong place, I have seen all but 8 of those movies in your list and I would say of the ones that I have seen I think 95% of them are excellent! You should see my 45" x 65" Nightmare Before X-mas poster.
I tend to need to do a top 10 list for each genre, because I didn't even list my favorite comedies.

"American Beauty", I can never watch again. That movie messed me up.
I didn't get "The Life Aquatic"...
"Science of Sleep" was cool -- I love Gondry's effects -- but I just didn't like the movie that much. Same with "Be Kind Rewind". "Eternal Sunshine" was sooo much better. Incidently, there's a DVD out that collects all of Gondry's music videos. That's worth a rent.
Of the movies on your list that I haven't seen (and mostly enjoyed!), are there ones that you would recommend over all the others? I think "No Country" is already at the top of my queue...
The Mexican
Finding Neverland
No COuntry for old men
Darjeeling Limited
Nightmare before Christmas
I've been seriously burned by the arthouse more than once. There are some that are truly groundbreaking and amazing films: "The Station Agent", "Amelie", etc. Wasn't "Primer" a festival film? But some of the worst movies I've EVER seen have been festival films. *shudder* Well, I hope there's some good ones this year!
Ur gonna laugh, Amelie was #10 on my list for a few minutes when I was writing my top 10, but I bumped it for Akira simply because I thought an anime deserved to be on there.
Simply put, I sometimes think Amelie might possibly be the greatest film of all time. It is not only timeless, but you can be white or black, young or old, gay or straight, or from any culture in the world, and still love this film. It really should be on my top 10 list as well....its just a shame because I know so many people who are too simple minded to even entertain the thought of watching a film with subtitles. That might be the only thing holding it back...
