List of films

Many of the foreign films I saw at Cannes were disappointing due to their slow pace and lack of plot. I guess it's because films selected for Cannes are more artistic rather than commercial. Some of these films likely never will see commercial release, especially in the United States.

Good films I screened
"Pan's Labyrinth" directed by Guillermo Del Toro (Spain).
"Clerks II" directed by Kevin Smith (United States).
"A Scanner Darkly" directed by Richard Linklater (United States).
"Sketches of Frank Gehry" directed by Sydney Pollack (United States).
"Shortbus" directed by John Cameron Mitchell (United States).
"Babel" directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (United States).
"Uro" directed by Stefan Faldbakken (Norway).
"X-Men: The Last Stand" directed by Brett Ratner (United States)
"Volver" directed by Pedro Almodovar (Spain).
"Akeelah and the Bee" directed by Doug Atchison (United States).
"Fast Food Nation" directed by Richard Linklater (United States).
"Paris, Je t'Aime" directed by various (France).
"This Film is Not Yet Rated" directed by Kirby Dick (United States).

Not so good films
"Re-Cycle" directed by Oxide Pang Chun and Danny Pang (Taiwan).
