My Top 20 "Discoveries" of 2010

So what the hell is this? Well, for about every two or three films I watch I try to see an older one that I've always wanted to see. That was the reason for my Asian Directors Marathon and I have another cool Marathon coming up next year. So "discoveries" are simply films from before 2010 that I watched for the first time this year that I came to really, strongly appreciate. Some will be added to my Top 100, while others are already there and that is already being changed around. Check it out...
