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.
Dayereh (The Circle), Jahar Panahi There Will Be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson Kynodontas (Dogtooth), Yorgos Lanthimos Children of Men, Alfonso Cuaron A torinoi lo (The Turin Horse), Bela Tarr Bir zamanlar Anadolu'da (Once Upon a Time in Anatolia), Nuri Birge Ceylan In the Mood for Love, Wong Kar Wai Amour, Michael Haneke Pan's Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro Elephant, Gus van Sant Lost in Translation, Sofia Coppola Wall-E, uhm whoever is credited as director Enemy, Denis Villeneuve La grande bellezza, Paolo Sorrentino Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In), Tomas Alfredson
And movies that rank among my favourites of the period, without any claim of being also viable for the Achievements list.
Jiro Dreams of Sushi, David Gelb Fish Tank, Andrea Arnold The Selfish Giant, Clio Barnard Almost Famous, Cameron Crowe Bai ri yan huo (Black Coal, Thin Ice), Diao Yinan The Portuguese Nun, Eugene Greene Mr. Turner, Mike Leigh
