20. KILL BILL vol. 1 (USA, 2003) Quentin Tarantino Tribute Hong Kong cinema of the seventies, much criticized for his bad character building, the hollowness of the script and dialogues poverty for many is the strength of Tarantino (and stronger within the vol. 2), all these diatribes, however, and as the director, I slide. Kill Bill is brilliant as absurd, a choreography of blood in pursuit of an aesthetic of violence. It may not be at the height of his previous films but I think is what Quentin has done better than this decade. 19. HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH (USA, 2001) John Cameron Mitchell The film is a visual litter and both the soundtrack and aesthetics of their images. Hansel, an East German gay, influenced by the glam-rock Marc Bolan, changes sex to marry an African American military. The scar that remains on the maimed member is an inch, hence the future of rock band called The Angry Inch. Winner of the Sundance, Deauville and San Francisco, Hedwig is a remarkable musical, an ode to the acceptance of an individual as such. 18. MY LIFE WITHOUT ME (Spain, 2003) Elizabeth Ann Croixet is a woman of 23, has two children, a no-good husband, a hysterical mother, a father was sentenced to 10 years in prison, lives in the suburbs of Vancouver in a van, working as a night cleaner at a university. Dull existence suddenly changes when he learns he has cancer and have two months to live. Ann then be devoted to live fully, and no it has ever been hidden from all your terminal. Become a farewell song to life in a poetic ritual. 17. INCEPTION (USA, 2010) Christopher Nolan In the eighties there was a science fiction movie called Dreamscape in which Dennis Quaid could enter the dreams of others and kill them. Nolan should have seen it and then add a neologism in the dictionary: Inception (said of the action to implement an idea in the subconscious of one individual through a dream). The film is a tremendous roll metaphysical which is difficult to define dreams of reality, an experience where the viewer is left wondering what could be better: dream or actually exist. 16. BIG FISH (USA, 2003) Tim Burton Burton The most endearing is his "Trilogy of Eduardos' Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood and Big Fish where the main character is called Edward Bloom. A middle-aged son returns home to listen, once again, the extraordinary life stories of his father who is on his deathbed. The son, who believes he misled lived all his life, trying to separate what he considers may reasonably be true and what is exaggerated fantasy. The last great film burtoniano. What subsequently became impoverished his films. 15. BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE (USA, 2002) Michael Moore This narcissistic filmmaker meat had risen to my attention with Roger & Me (scheduled several times early in Frecuencia Latina) Bowling did revalue the documentary as a genre, making it more accessible to mass audiences after winning the Oscar. The film is his masterpiece, a scathing critique on the passion that the Americans by force of arms, a breeding ground for Columbines occurring in droves. The 'stripped' also represents the last "great" film appearance of Charlton Heston, as a bully taking pains to make his reputation in tatters. 
14. WALTZ WITH BASHIR (Israel, 2008) Ari Folman animation and film combine to tell us through the loss of memories of a former soldier, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, immediately killing Bashir Gemayel and other horrors that triggered the massacre of Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila. Film pointing to Ariel Sharon, then defense minister and then Prime Minister, but not justifies the Jewish nation that chooses to forget rather than take their responsibility to the slaughter perpetrated. Memory, more self-conscious you are, always emerges in our consciousness. 13. THE SON OF THE BRIDE (Argentina, 2001) Juan José Campanella The midlife crisis and after a heart attack the question: "What the hell am I doing with my life!" Rafael lives for his restaurant and to be a slave to cellular and many I know. Their feelings are numb and affects his girlfriend, her daughter, whom she visits on Thursday, without accompanying accompanying his father on the quixotic adventure to be married to her mother with Alzheimer's disease. A smart melodrama that emerges from the same everyday. Argentine filmmakers and Campanella are bosses to maximize the minimal stories. 12. Das Leben der Anderen (Germany, 2006) Florian Henckel-Donnersmack Teutonic cinema has two historical veins inexhaustible War (obviously) and germanaoriental gloom. Of the latter I like to very much: Sonnenallee , Goodbye, Lenin! and winning the title that plunges us into a psychotic nation, where everyone is watching everyone, but it is also possible that feelings of severe gray official change color or catching the freedom to live. Bernd Naumann, German Culture Minister, called it "a fantastic film that portrays a very emotional history of Germany." 11. THE PIANIST (Britain, 2002) Roman Polanski A film over Nazis and Jews, but shot by a Polish prisoner of a concentration camp. Polanski was indebted to his past and pays more than a wonderful film despite its crudeness. Wladyslaw Szpilman is a pianist who switched to Chopin by the sounds of destruction, by the silence of hidden. The music contrasts of languor to see how your world is crushed and annihilated. Film exposing the excessive cruelty but makes it clear that stronger she will always be the will to survive. 10. ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (USA, 2004) Michel Gondry Joel and Clementine are known, have a relationship that is idyllic at first but eventually becomes torment. After the breakup, Clementine undergoes a novel treatment that erases from his mind all the memories related to your ex. Frustrated by this decision, Joel agrees to take the same treatment without knowing that you will discover the genesis of their complexes. Michael Kaufman, writer of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation was multiple awards at festivals around the script that seamlessly blend melodrama, comedy and science fiction. 09. THE SECRET OF YOUR EYES (Argentina, 2009) Juan José Campanella indefinable genre hybrid: a mixture of film-noir, denounces political thriller with a touch of comedy and melodrama that has a background, sorry two eternal love stories. A clerk of a court is about to retire and think you need to be at peace with his past, writing a book about the murder of a woman happened twenty years ago. Outside the famous one shot over five minutes in the Hurricane Stadium, the script and character building are 
is a summary of the maturity reached by the Argentine cinema. 08. DOGVILLE (Denmark, 2003) Lars Von Trier Von Trier is the most prominent figure of Danes who wanted to re-engineer the cinema through the Dogma '95. Always on video or camera in hand and scarce resources, is responsible for visceral tell stories that people are kind beings and at the same time, abominable. Grace is a fugitive from gangsters to reach a remote village in search of refuge. The initial support will become disinterested in bondage and humiliation then continuous. You can taste can not draw but you can not deny the originality of the staging, theater and minimalist. 07. MILLION DOLLAR BABY (USA, 2004) Clint Eastwood manages a gym Frankie, Maggie is a waitress who yearns to become a boxer. They are two tough and lonely characters, two losers among those who develop an intense relationship paternofilia because of the sport and continued despite the tragedy. Screenplay by Paul Haggis remarkable service of the old Eastwood, the last hard-hearted, who gets an awesome movie, real and raw as life itself, making the viewer excited and really reflect on what important in life. 06. GRAN TORINO (USA, 2008) Clint Eastwood most surprising thing of this film is not that what you have recorded and performed a man of 78, but rather the smell of film "minor" by filling between two ambitious productions as Changeling and Invictus and sprout an awesome movie. Eastwood and I see tells me his biography parallel, which would have been her fate had not become a filmmaker, an old samurai, defender of his district, capable of sacrificing his life to a cause prostrate before wasting disease. Must have been the climax of his career but the old man refuses to withdraw. 05. THE CORPORATION (Canada, 2004) Marck Achbar & Jennifer Abbott brands, companies, privatization, liberalism, slavery, globalization, dehumanization. Corporations are evil entities, psychopaths, inhuman. Nations govern and direct the desires and needs of individuals, consumers, stupefied by the marketing and advertising. The excessive zeal for the profitability of a creative artificial sense of prosperity which inadvertently leads us into the abyss. The Corporation is a brave and sobering documentary seeks to raise awareness. Since 2006 mandatory viewing for all my students in the final week of the current advertising strategy. 04. MULHOLLAND DRIVE (USA, 2001) David Lynch Tape binding requires two viewings to fully understand where dreams overshadow the real perspective of things. Rita occurs for no apparent reason in the world of Betty, which in turn is the dream of Diana. Rollo complicated than is revealed in the last twenty minutes elapse in real space, the rest is all a dream experience. Lynch runs at will the spatial and temporal line. This is my favorite title of all his bizarre films. 03. SALINUI CHUEOK (South Korea, 2003), Bong Joon-Ho Based on real events. In the province of Gyunggi, a serial murderer kills young women on the nights of rain, then they schedule a ballad on the radio. The role lies in the clash of two policemen, one arrived in the capital using the scientific method and the provinces who uses intuition. Captivating thriller in which the viewer follows the same tracks as the police, sharing the anxiety that there may be no possible resolution. This film is proof that Asian cinema as a whole (Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand) is the most interesting and novel of the century. 02. OldBoy (South Korea, 2003) 
Park Chan-wook second chapter of "vengeance trilogy" of the same director. After a drunken man is kidnapped and locked in a room for long fifteen years (from 1988 to 2003) without knowing why. After being released, will seek to know what was the reason for his imprisonment. Film based on a Japanese manga, sometimes brutal, sometimes tragic-comic, and a cruel and unexpected end. His excellence lies in the deception through his nimble maneuver argumental, que te seduce y te envenena a la par que sientes una ambivalente simpatía no solo por el protagonista sino también por el villano. 01. CIDADE DE DEUS (Brasil, 2002) Fernando Meirelles & Kátia Lund No sólo es un portento audiovisual, es también un excelente guión que recorre tres décadas de una favela sumida en la marginalidad, donde las crías se amamantan de violencia y tráfico de drogas. Sorprende el oficio de Meirelles, tratándose de su ópera prima. El filme es un clásico instantáneo que trasciende las fronteras del cine sudaca y se convierte en referente universal de varios títulos como la Slumdog Millionaire-winning . Out of Glauber Rocha and one other major film, Brazilian film was in debt, Cidade the fully paid.
