But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

3.   Au hasard Balthazar (Robert Bresson, 1966, France)
4.   The Elephant Man (david lynch, 1980, U.S.)
5.   Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (Chantal Akerman, 1975, Belgium)

8.    Shortbus (John Cameron Mitchell, 2006, U.S.)
9.    Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1975, italy)
10.   Safe (Todd Haynes, 1995, U.S.)
11.    Black Girl (Ousmane Sembene, 1966, Senegal)
12.    La Captive (Chantal Akerman, 2000, Belgium)
13.   Nuit et Jour (Chantal Akerman, 1991, Belgium)

Really, Casablanca is Top 5, that was my only gaming of the system, i reckon i should have put it where it should be at 4 or 5.  as other note, i reckon this list is pretty shifty, though my Top 10 are pretty solidly loved.
