2004's Top 10 Films (So Far)

We're about halfway through the year, so I thought I'd jump the gun by about six months and offer a list of my top films of 2004 (so far). Some of them haven't hit theaters yet so look for them later this summer (and "Down to the Bone" still doesn't have a distribution deal, so somebody needs to buy it!).

Top 10 (not really in order)
The Return
Metallica: Some Kind of Monster
Dogville
Control Room
Reconstruction
Down to the Bone
The Corporation
Napoleon Dynamite
Before Sunset
Young Adam

Honorable mentions
The Steve Coogan-Alfred Molina short in Coffee & Cigarettes
The Mother
Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Super Size Me
Maria Full of Grace

So, what am I forgetting? What's in your top 10 so far? Post your own list in the comments section!

Being a 44-year-old father of two (ages 4 & 2) has somewhat limited my ability to see all the films I'd care to see. But here's what I've thought was terrific so far in 2004:
DAWN OF THE DEAD-- remake far surpasses sludgy, overrated original
HIDALGO
HELLBOY
SHAOLIN SOCCER
KILL BILL VOL. 2
and one you haven't seen yet, but when (if) you get a chance, you should:
SHAUN OF THE DEAD-- British romantic comedy set during Romero-esque apocalypse of the lving dead. If this ever gets a US release, it should become a minor sensation...

Good list Wendy.
Here's my top eight so far:
Blind Shaft
Dogville
Distant
The Five Obstructions
Osama
Touching the Void
Spring Summer Fall Winter...
Kill Bill V2

There are some on your list that I have yet to see.
