Totally agree that it's a great year for movies. I've been more than waist deep in it since last fall trying out an extended project before I get to it in my Adapted Screenplay project to see if I can see every film from the year and write small little reviews and rank them all. Plus I actually got to meet Kevin Smith on Thursday at ComicCon so Clerks is at the top of my mind.

More specifically on your lists, I'm a little surprised, since you've been fine with bucking the Academy's classifications, that you didn't declare Wiest a lead in Bullets over Broadway. Up until the awards season began in December that year I had her as easily my #1 in Actress and then the first critics groups claimed she was supporting and she seemed stuck there.

Damn, what a great thought -- and I wish I'd thought of it. Dianne Wiest was the best actress of the year in any category and would have been a great best actress winner.

I saw Clerks three times in the theater when it came out. Really loved it. So cool that you got to meet Kevin Smith.

Something to keep in mind then for 1996 if they were to make your Top 5 in either is that I always had trouble deciding whether Renee Zelwegger in Jerry Maguire and Courtney Love in The People vs Larry Flynt were lead or supporting.

I'm pleased to see that we're back to [largely] disagreeing -- although I think with some similar views of the films, direction, and performances. I think we made different selections of some very close "competitors."

I would have nominated Forrest Gump for the "successor to Zelig proving that technological advances are less important than wit and story" award.

And Zelig weren't no Citizen Kane. . . .

Well you could say Zelig is the Citizen Kane of human chameleon movies

by Woody Allen that is....
