21-30

30 American Splendor
29 Fils, Le (The Son)*
28 Punch-Drunk Love
27 Dopo mezzanotte*
26 Innocence*
25 Russkij kovcheg (Russian Ark)*
24 A Scanner Darkly
23 The Village
22 Sexy Beast
21 Xiao cheng zhi chun (Springtime in a Small Town)

Russian Ark's tagline is "2000 cast members, 3 orchestras, 33 rooms, 300 years, ALL IN ONE TAKE."  Oh, and it is also the first uncompressed high definition film in history (hence, needs to be released on Blu-Ray).  99 minutes long without a cut, so the "making of" and DVD commentaries are must-sees as well.   
 
In excitement, I watched the opening sequence of Sexy Beast over and over again and got the whole soundtrack during the heyday of Napster.  It also features incredible performances by Ray Winstone (I needed subtitles for him, similar to Snatch), Ben Kingsley and Ian McShane.
