I loved Ramsay's Morvern Callar but have to give the nod to Green for the heartbreaking All the Real Girls. (Amateurist, I know you wanted to start a thread about this at one point. Thoughts?)
NB: Both are now reportedly working on huge literary adaptations: Green is doing John Kennedy Toole's Confederacy of Dunces and Ramsay is directing Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones (and hopefully making it much better than the book). These could both be make-or-break films for the directors, so I'm very curious what they do with them.

The short version is that I loved it, and I am trying to find the time to watch it over again today before I have to take it back. I love the score and the soundtrack (I'll even forgive the use of stop-motion stuff because it had Mogwai over the top), love the flow of the movie, perhaps even more artfully stitched together than George Washington. Some of the humor could have been corny and some of the dialogue between the two main characters could have been mawkish, but both dependeably trod their respective thin lines. I can forgive Zooey Deschanel's occasional puppy-cute musings on peanut butter and trampolines if just for her beautiful, beautiful eyes - the finest orbs to grace a movie in quite some time. Hurrah!
