I am quite surprised to see "The Lives of Others" in here, although it clearly deserves a spot because it's a masterpiece. I wasn't prepared to see "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" in here either. I'm also really glad "City of God" made it in there, because that one was my favorite film of 2002. So was "The Departed" for 2006.
