do you actually like black tiger? but yes, citizen dog is likely to be my favorite thai movie of all time.

I actually love Black Tiger. I've watched it three times and built myself up to expect to dislike it every single time and only find more to love about it. It's got its flaws, but it's really quite solid. Are there any Thai Westerns before it that you know of worth checking out?

I saw Unseeable, too, and didn't much care for it.

**Sycophant** · 03-02-2009, 10:42 PM

Was going to rank everyone's top ten lists, but mine was so clearly superior (seriously, I like everything on it!) that I thought it an insult to include it on the same list as anyone else's.

I didn't make the Top 10 Top 100 list OR get D. Davis' critique.

You'll get it!

There are a few more I need to do....

**D_Davis** · 03-02-2009, 10:59 PM

I like more of your films than I thought I would. I don't know why - I guess it just seems like we disagree more often than not, but that doesn't really seem to be the case here. Just a weird, and wrong, assumption.

I am VERY happy to see A Midnight Clear on your list - an underrated, and, I think, under-seen gem of a film.

I also your inclusion of Momento Mori, Smoke, Heavenly Creatures, and Battle Royale.

For some reason I am most surprised to see Brain Dead on your list.
