    I've got minor quibbles with The Royal Tennenbaums and Crash being on the list. Otherwise, fine choices.

    What? Anyone who knows the editors of Drifter Media knows that 'The Royal Tenebaums' is THE quintessential American-dysfunctional-family film of all time -- Gene Hackman at his best! And 'Crash' covers race relations in America.
