I'm loving the fact that there's two types so far - art fart vs blockbuster fan. I like the diversity.

That's a damn fine list. Bigger Than Life was one of the last eliminations from my own list. I like your inclusion of California Split, too. I really love the play between those two characters. It might be my favorite Altman movie. I don't hear about it much, compared to his other movies.

Point Blank was this close to being on my list.

[The Argonaut]

The Darjeeling Limited

woot. I didn't think I'd see that one in this thread, outside of my own list. I really do think it's his most successful film. It's fun and playful, but still feels very real emotionally.

I think so too. Sometimes his movies are lose the emotional part, but this one accomplished both.

I almost added Life Aquatic. Its not very popular it seems, but my list is mostly visual eye candy movies, that probably explains why I like it so much.

[Harry Lime]

Only God Forgives (Refn, 2013)

whatever.
