These Made Me Ha-a-appy

I'm putting together a list of flicks for a fellow cinephile. The criteria for the list are (1) it should be something I think he hasn't seen and (2) it should have been made in the last ten years. There will be exceptions to the second criterion. It was originally going to be all Asian films, too, but there are just too many good ones made everywhere. Ultimately, they're in the list because watching them was profoundly pleasurable.

• You, the Living Sweden, 2007
• Silent Light Mexico 2007
• Memories of Murder Korea, 2003
• Mother Korea, 2009
• Yi Yi Taiwan, 2000
• Goodbye Solo USA, 2008
• Cache France, 2005
• Syndromes and a Century Thailand, 2006
• Beau Travail France, 1999
• Zatoichi Japan, 2003
• Let the Right One In Sweden, 2008
• Private Fear in Public Places France, 2006
• Waltz with Bashir Israel, 2008
• Taste of Cherry Iran, 1997

Enjoy!
