But I will definitely link to this comments section so anyone reading can pursue further (or perhaps gather the "extras" in another part of the post?).<br><br>I will probably select my favorite from among all your links - I like that most of you went that route, because even though it's still easier for me, it makes me feel like I'm still making the call!

I will make this list brief.<br><br>1. <a href="http://iceboxmovies.blogspot.com/2009/09/redacted-2007.html" rel="nofollow">Redacted (2007)</a>: Hands-down my most controversial piece of the year. This is my finalized version of the essay that I submitted to Cinema Viewfinder for their Brian De Palma blogathon back in September; in my original essay, I caused quite a stir when I claimed that most of De Palma's earlier works looked "immature" next to the burning statements of <i>Redacted</i>. I regret leaving those comments, and so this new version of my piece omits them. I am still proud of my overall defense of what is still one of De Palma's best films.<br><br>2. <a href="http://iceboxmovies.blogspot.com/2009/12/saving-private-ryan-1998.html" rel="nofollow">Saving Private Ryan (1998)</a>: My championing of one of Spielberg's most honored (and most heavily criticized) masterworks.<br><br>3. <a href="http://iceboxmovies.blogspot.com/2009/10/quintet-1979.html" rel="nofollow">Quintet (1979)</a>: My defense of Robert Altman's overlooked science fiction gem.<br><br>4. <a href="http://iceboxmovies.blogspot.com/2009/09/edvard-munch-1974.html" rel="nofollow">Edvard Munch (1974)</a>: A review I wrote of Peter Watkins' biography of the famed, tortured 19th-century artist.<br><br>5. <a href="http://iceboxmovies.blogspot.com/2009/08/land-of-pharaohs-1955_11.html" rel="nofollow">Land of the Pharaohs (1955)</a>: An appreciation for Howard Hawks' underrated epic.<br><br>BONUS- <a href="http://iceboxmovies.blogspot.com/2009/07/many-adventures-of-winnie-pooh-1977.html" rel="nofollow">The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)</a>: A reading into Wolfgang Reitherman's classic Disney film for children that has aged remarkably well and can even be enoyed and admired by adults to this day.<br><br>There ya go :)Adam Zanziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14524618281515322239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-70463162336779035542009-12-29T17:15:33.892-05:002009-12-29T17:15:33.892-05:00You didn't ask me directly (sniff, sniff), but...You didn't ask me directly (sniff, sniff), but I'll toss my hat into the ring as well.

This is the first chance I've had to even check up on this post in 24 hours and I won't be much less busy prior to New Year's Eve. As such, the post will probably go up early next week rather than late this week. I'll put up an update post here by tomorrow if that's the case.<br><br>Funny how several people have chosen the post I would have chosen, if I weren't worried about missing something else.
