I think a lot of people here would like Giants and Toys even more than I. It's a surprisingly modern film - very snazzy.

I feel a little bad about not including Ivan the Terrible Part II but in all honesty I'd rather re-watch the last two on my list than Ivan so in terms of preference/enjoyment they get the vote.

Elevator to the Gallows and Mon Oncle are good, but two of the weaker efforts from their respective directors.

Well, I haven't seen number 1, 4, or 5 from your list, so you're forgiven. Actually, I haven't seen many movies from this year at all.

You should check out Wajda's war trilogy when you get the chance (particularly the latter two). I think it's something you'd really enjoy.
