Taxi Driver - Not as perfect as I remember it being, but still incredible. Enough's bee said about it really but it ranks really high with me because it really makes you feel.
Jackie - Absolutely fantastic and much much better than I expected. Transcends the awful biopic genre. It reminded me almost of a mix between Kieslowski's Blue and a dash of Hiroshima mon amour. I think it helped having a non-American direct this and I think Aronofsky (who originally was going to direct) would have butchered it. There was no myth making, only meditation. Highly recommended and I hope other biopic filmmakers take note.
