Films to write home about

OK, just after the festival ended, I looked at my program and realized that despite having seen many of the films there were more I wanted to see and many I wanted to continue discussing. So I marked up the film list (click on the graphic to enlarge it). Here's the key:
Blue dot = Saw at Boulder International Film Fest 2008
Red dot = Saw as screener as member of the selection committee
Gray asterisk = Will rent or see in theater
Pink asterisk = Still plan to see
Plus sign on yellow = Recommending to friends in person or on my blog

I was impressed all over again that these films could move and inspire me in so many ways before, during, and after the festival.

Okay, I'm done raving about that for now.
