Hell yes, I was hoping for this! I’m trying to think hard about my choices without getting too lost in second guessing.

L’Atalante (1934)
Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974)
Close Up (1990)
Hyenas (1992)
The River (1997)
Happy Together (1997)
Beau Travail (1999)
Magnolia (1999)
Yi Yi (2000)
Still Life (2006)

Seconding:

Feeling the rhythm of the night, I have cut Vivre Sa Vie (1962) for Beau Travail (1999).

I was going to suggest the same thing. There are a good deal of films mentioned already that I almost picked myself, so it wouldn’t be an arbitrary thing for me.
