While I try to come up with something (I don't even remotely feel I've watched enough, even for this timespan), good list there, timmer! I think The Tree of Life is deeply flawed and launched Malick in a series of cinematic equivalent of shoegaze, but you have A Separation and Certain Copy, which I love, and also Wong Kar Wai! And Bela Tarr!! Sweet.
