The Assassin (Hou Hsiao-Hsien)
L'attesa (AKA The Wait, Piero Messina)
The Forbidden Room (Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson)
Cosmos (Andrzej Zulawski)
Macbeth (Justin Kurzel)

Please add no. 2, 4, 5.

Since we're going by IMDb years, a 2015 poll seems a bit premature, considering that a lot of festival  films aren't available yet. Some unseen:

Peace to Us in Our Dreams (Sharunas Bartas)
Orion (Asiel Norton)
Ma (Celia Rowlson-Hall)
Garoto (Júlio Bressane)
Paradise (Sina Ataeian Dena)

That's true, but we can always add those films in later.

I probably need to rewatch it (I haven't seen any of these more than once) but it was quite fun. And there's a lot of 2015 stuff I haven't seen yet.

To be honest, No No Sleep would probably be in my top 5 but I didn't want to bother you to add a short that no one else is going to vote for anyway.

It's your top 5. I'll add whatever you want to the poll as long as it's a film. I've added stuff I know only I'm going to vote for in most of these polls.

Yeah the more I think about it, the more it belongs on my list. Please add No No Sleep.

Which can be watched here btw, though I recommend watching Tsai's other "Walker" shorts (Walker and Journey to the West) first.
