Props for #4. 32 short films was an excelent movie. I'm not sure it would make my top 20 list, though...

If anything, I think the thing has grown in stature. ie there's a Phillip Glass documentary coming out divided up into eight parts.

Part of it for me was seeing the areas of TO that were incorporated into the movie: the apartment on St Clair, the lake simcoe cottage, the sound of streetcars, the Parliament Street CBC studios.... all framed through the eyes and experiences of a fairly paranoid individual.

In the mood for love.
