Yej, a pretty good list? They've got Juno at #1 and Zodiac at # 45?!? They've got Paris Je'taime at #28 and Before the Devil... and The Savages in the 40's. Clearly the editors at Paste must be eating paste, or sniffing glue, or smoking crack, because that list is just plain FU@&ED UP!

Jeff, actually that's a pretty good list... a nice mix of mainstream and indie pics.

That Paste list is absolutely atrocious. Some editor deserves to be fired over that. In fact, I would clean house in that whole office. They should be ashamed of themselves. How pathetic.
