Reply #6: Mister Lonely, by Harmony Korine.

No horror, no action, just an honest to goodness drama that I actually enjoyed. It's about a french Michael Jackson impersonator who meets a Marilyn Monroe impersonator. She tells him that she lives on an island with a bunch of other celebrity impersonators (including Abe Lincoln with Tourette's), and she invites him to join them. That's all the movie is about. A lot of people will find it boring, but I was engrossed by the actors (and trust me, there's a scene that will make you never see Larry from the Three Stooges the same way again).

It's totally different from Korine's other work (Gummo, Kids, Julien Donkey Boy) and easily his most mature and well made movie yet. Very off beat, and a real special film, imo. Technically it was released in 2007, but I just saw it this year and found it to be as good as any others I saw, so I'm counting it. :)



Inglourious Basterds would be third on my list.
