and the winner is Babel is an amazing film, it is one of the most suspenseful since North by North West,I know Im dating myself. But it was a unique film experience. Having said that my fave has to be Pan's Labyrinth, which is nominated for Best Foreign Film. I go to alot of movies thanks to my senior priviledges and both these films are not to be missed by true movie addicts and you know who you are.::duel
