A glorified short film at 50 minutes, and kind of an interesting gay western. But "Brokeback Mountain" still gets my vote.

Almodóvar has been a master for generations now, and has reached a point where everything he does is worth a look. Whatever the language, genre, or run-time, Almodóvar brings cinema to life.
