 |
| 2046 | Junebug | 3-Iron | Melinda & Melinda | The Squid & the Whale | Walk the Line |
| Each and every poster from this film (and there were a lot of them) is breathtaking. | I love the way it matches the artwork from inside the film. | As silently romantic as the film itself. | This French version of the split-personality film is the best. Very Woody. | The half-drawn, fading-awayness fits the emotion of the film perfectly. | Two big stars and they let the the poster art speak for itself. |

| Frank Miller's Sin City | The New World | King Kong | 2046 | Good Night, and Good Luck. | Caché |
| The city becomes the title. | Antique maps in the background and classical music in the fore. | I'm sittin' on top, top of the world. | As dreamy and exotic as the film itself | Black & white with Jazz. Elegant and perfect for the period. | Simple and genius. |

 |
 |
| 2046 | Kung Fu Hustle | King Kong | A History of Violence | Frank Miller's Sin City | Saraband |
| Lush and creamy. | More exhilerating than the movie itself. | Anticipation is making me wait... | Sharp and crisp. | Full of the artistic boldness that made the movie look a lot better than it actually was. | The Swedish (unsubtitled) trailer that I saw in NY was as breathtaking as Bergman himself. |

| BEST COMEBACK | |||||
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Ingmar Bergman for Saraband |
Mickey Rourke in Frank Miller's Sin City |
Woody Allen for Match Point & Melinda and melinda |
Michelangelo Antonioni for Eros |
King Kong (with the help of Peter Jackson) | George Romero & his never-ending band of flesh eating zombies |
| Over twenty years since his last directorial outing. | Who ever thought that the line "Mickey Rourke is the best thing about the movie!" would ever be uttered aloud. | After a decade of sub par work, Woody comes back with a pair of films that are his best work since the mid nineties. | A stroke, Zabriskie Point...nothing can stop this Auteur. | Not near as "epic" as the original, but still a valiant effort. | Last year, the Living Dead were nominated in this category (Dawn of the Dead remake and Shaun of the dead parody), but this year the King himself is back (even though I do find the film rather overrated). |

|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| King Fu Hustle | King Kong | Frank Miller's Sin City | Pride & Prejudice | Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith | À Tout de Suite |
| An homage to the chop-sockey of old (including cameos from some of the original fighters). | An homage to the original obviously. | An homage to Film Noir (among other things). | An homage to the days of the long gone smart and elegant period piece. | An homage to... well, to itself I suppose. | An homage (whether on purpose or not) to the days of the Nouvelle Vague |
