Still it turned out better overall than I expected. I'm mad The White Ribbon didn't make a mark. And A Prophet (even people probably didn't think it counted - I checked and it is 2009 officially).
Actually quite a lot of my list didn't have much impact, which is kinda frustrating, but that's how it works I suppose. There's a good 10-15 films I haven't seen off that list anyhow, so I look forward to catching up on them.
