Brokeback Mountain still breaks my heart every time
The Ice Storm deserves way more love, Sigourney Weaver is fantastic in it
Crouching Tiger at #1 is perfect. The bamboo forest fight is pure poetry.
Hulk this high? Really? lol
It's 11th out of 13, that's not high
Eat Drink Man Woman is the most underrated one here, that opening cooking scene!
