- Old Dudes on Skates – It's true that Michael Caine, Anthony Hopkins, Robert Duvall and Jack Nicholson have played these types of crafty codgers before – but seeing them all on-screen together as aging roller-derby champs back for one last hurrah was one of the year's most heartwarming cinematic triumphs.
- The Quiet Candle – Jean Alain Dumont's somber fairy tale about lovers (Juliette Binoche, Jean-Pierre Bacri) sorting through the last days of their dying relationship is a languid reflection on unopened letters, unmade beds and long silences over cigarettes and wine. Nothing, in fact, happens during the film's entire 90 minutes, but that nothing is so exquisitely photographed that its emptiness is all the more compelling.
