From: "Mark" 

Stanley Kauffman, film critic, in The New Republic:

"Looking back through the last twelve months, I discovered that,
though I hardly saw all the possible candidates, I had found eighteen films
that are decisively and memorably of value to an intelligent viewer. They
are: Brokeback Mountain, Cach‚, Fateless, Friends With Money, L'Enfant,
Down in the Valley, Only Human, Gabrielle, Edmond, The Bridesmaid, The
Illusionist, Old Joy, The Queen, Climates, Flags of Our Fathers, Copying
Beethoven, The History Boys, The Secret Life of Words. "

He goes on to note that only 6 of his picks are American made films,
supporting your thought below.
