  1. I'm distraught that you "loved" The Princess and the Frog. I'm still angry at Disney for that hackery.

  2. I am so glad that you added "The White Ribbon." That was such a jarring film. This list is pretty comprehensive. You DO see a lot of movies. The only thing I would really combat is "District 9." It didn't quite work for me for some reason. Anyway...a mahhhvhalous list regardless.
