ah I have quite a few from the last 10 years. I think most of my favorite films are that way
some of them are quite dead
lets see

shattered glass
all the real girls
departures
reprise
last life in the universe
in america

and in documentaries
white diamond (werner herzog)
five obstructions
capturing the friedmans

me. I love this film.

This was such a sweet movie.

Another British movie for the list: LOOKING FOR ERIC. Perhaps won't be appreciated by people who don't know the brilliant soccer player Eric Cantona, but as a slice-of-life-relieved-by-fantasy movie this can't be beat.
