Please consider putting The Dark Knight on your top 10. That movies deserves all the praise it gets.

Glad to see ‘Whale Rider’(2003) on your list of the best.Keisha Castle Hughes was rightly nominated for an Oscar.

I thought “In the valley of elah” would make the list. Probably one of the best dramatizations of
