Is 2009 the new 2007?

Seriously, can this year beat back 2007 as the best of the decade? It seems possible, perhaps even likely. Just look at this potential Cannes lineup:

Jim Jarmusch's The Limits of Control
Quentin Tarantino's Inglourius Basterds
Terrence Malick's Tree of Life
Pedro Almodovar's Broken Embraces
Steven Soderbergh's The Informant / Girlfriend Experience
Ken Loach's Looking For Eric
Neil Jordan's Ondine
Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus
The Coen Brothers' A Serious Man
Lars von Trier's Antichrist
Cristian Mungiu's Tales From the Golden Age
Gaspar Noe's Enter the Void
Ang Lee's Taking Woodstock (note: Brian hates Ang Lee)
Fatih Akin's Soul Kitchen
Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon
Jane Campion's Bright Star
Todd Solondz's Forgiveness
Park Chan-wook's Thirst


Plus we are still waiting on the releases of: John Hillcoat's The Road, Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, Martin Scorsese's Ashecliffe, Wes Anderson's The Fantastic Mr. Fox and the new PIXAR film.

excited? yes.
