My #47 is Lost in Translation. For years, I held firm to my belief that Sofia Coppola would be the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director, but alas Kathryn Bigelow ruined my prediction. Coppola could easily have won for Lost in Translation -- her work is just that good. She manages to capture the loneliness and anonymity of city life, and draws out of Bill Murray the performance of his career. Too bad Sean Penn gave a slightly better performance that same year, or Murray wouldn't still be hunting for that elusive Oscar. Lost in Translation is one of those movies that stays with you long after the credits cease to roll.
