My Winnipeg, Guy Maddin's experimental documentary about his hometown, was utterly amazing. It was funny, weird, gorgeous, and very nearly perfect.
OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies was clever and a lot of fun. Like Down with Love or Far From Heaven, the cinematography, set design, and costumes were designed to give the feel of a time period through the movies of that time period, and they really captured the look of James Bond-ish thrillers. And Jean Dujardin was an eye-opener as the central spy, OSS 117 (sort of a cross between Austin Powers, James Bond, and Inspector Clouseau). He's an amazing comic actor.
