To celebrate the 25th anniversary of their cantankerous and thoroughly watchable union, Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton have compiled a list of the top ten films released during their tenure. Unsurprisingly, there are only two names the pair can agree on – Ang and Almodovar – with the former’s Brokeback Mountain and the latter’s All About My Mother gracing both lists. We would have gone with Talk To Her as Almodovar’s strongest work but we’re glad they can agree on something. Opinions! Check out the full top tens below…
