#5: Gosford Park (2001)

As a fan of Robert Altman films, quasi Anglophile, and "Upstairs, Downstairs" lover, this movie is perfect for me.  I think this is my favorite Altman film.  I love his style with the roaming camera moving throughout all of the characters in the room while the dialogue comes in-and-out.  It makes you as an audience member feel more like a fly on the wall than most other films.  There's something subversive and sneaky about it.  The actors are all fantastic of course.  I mean there are so many sirs and dames in this movie it's ridiculous.
