Modern Classic Films

This has nothing much to do with multilingualism. I saw this list of Entertainment Weekly "New Classics" over at The Noble Savage and just had to participate.

I now wonder in which language the girls would prefer to watch movies. We (hubby and me) mostly watch movies in original version, with subtitles if necessary. I think watching movies in English (along with music and books) has helped greatly to learn English.

Anyway, here are the movies. I watched the ones in bold.

I did not watch Children of Men, but I read the book.
I noticed that I had watched many European movies; and I am surprised Amélie Poulain did not make it to the list. Also, I haven't seen many movies from 2005 onwards. I wonder why...

ps: JE marks movies that Jan has seen.
