... all high on the list of the best films of the past twenty years.

Bernie is also terrific, grossly underrated in the grand scheme by the masses. Dazed and Confused, while admittedly not as beloved by me as by others, is strong work. Slacker's influence is unquestioned. Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly are both at worst incredibly interesting films with strong vision behind them.

I can't think of many American filmmakers who have better bodies of work over the past twenty-five years. A few, sure. But Linklater is up there.
