Your Top 10 Movies of the Decade
Thought it'd be fun if we all list our top 10 movies of the decade (2000-2009). It can start off nice, but soon I think we can all yell at someone for liking Spider-Man 3. Go!
I'll start: 1-lord of the rings: 2 towers 2-eternal sunshine of the spotless mind 3-almost famous 4-no country for old men 5-let the right one in 6-the royal tenenbaums 7-shaun of the dead 8-finding nemo 9-requiem for a dream 10-high fidelity |

A warning on "9". It will likely be one of the best movies you will never want to watch again.

i agree. i debated a long time about requiem since i never want to see it again, but the fact that its almost a decade later and i still remember EVERYTHING from it means it was one helluva movie, at least in my book. |

I'm not putting any order on these, but these are basically my favorites from the past 10 years.
Elizabethtown Sernity High Fidelity Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Girl Next Door Royal Tenenbaums Gladiator Garden State The Incredibles Almost Famous Star Trek Hot Fuzz Lord of the Rings (whole set) Shaun of the Dead School of Rock Black Hawk Down Also I highly suggest anyone that wants to rate movies check out Flickchart - The Better Way To Rank The Best Movies Of All Time really helps you categorize stuff and you can then filter out your searches. Some of the match ups you get are tough to decide when you are going through them. http://www.flickchart.com/DanGarion |

1)Lord of the Rings (1 big movie for me ...)
2)Hotel Rwanda 3)City of God 4)Lost in Translation 5)The Dark Knight 6)Let the right one in 7)Spirited Away 8)Pirates of the caribean (just the first one here) 9)Last King of Scotland 10a)Finding Nemo 10b) Almost Famous 10c) Letters from Iwo Jima 10d) School of rock 10e) In the bedroom 10f) Ice Age order would be fluent really though, although i really think LOTR is the great movie of the decade. Best Sports Movie : 1a)Friday Night Lights 1b)Cinderella Man Best documentary : Planet Earth (The Series, not the weirdly cut summary that was shown on the big screen which was still awesome but nor nearly as awesome as the series) best german film : Das Leben der Anderen / The Lives Of Others that was shown in the US as well, right ? At least rated by a lot of papers and critics. haven´t seen many movies this year at all, so i´m not biased against those but just haven´t seen them yet ... @ DanGarion : "Let The Right One In" is incredible, genious story really. It´s filmed after a book of the same title (if you need a good book  ), really well adapted from there.Last edited by whomario : 12-09-2009 at 05:36 PM. |

It won the Foreign Language Academy Award that year (and IIRC, that was the same year that Pan's Labyrinth was nominated for that award... talk about a stacked category!)

yeah, just wasn´t sure if it had been really shown stateside. German Cinema really produced some great, great movies this decade in many genres. 2009 Oscar Nominee "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex" is brilliant as well, topic are the terrorist of the "RAF" back in the 70s here in germany.

I think this was a better decade than the last 2 for movies.
Some themes I noticed this decade: Trilogies. Globe hopping. Seems to be the thing to jet around, especially European cities Super hero. Spiderman to Batman, with a lot of crap in the middle Hipster indie. Lots of forlorn guys, anthropology girls Sociopaths: move over Hannibal... Dead children. Have a kid die, win an oscar Zombies. Thought there would have been more of: Musicals Something about Mary/American Pie's Dogma 95-style movies (thank god) My list: 1. Babel 2. Lost in Translation 3. Zodiac 4. No Country for Old Men 5. City of God 6. Traffic 7. The Hours 8. Amelie 9. Bourne's 10. Downfall |

This movie had a ton of potential, but I was really let down by the ending. 95% of it was very solid though. Quote:
I was watching this on cable the other day but didn't realise how freaking long the movie was. I had to go out and missed the last 30 minutes, which is a real shame because I don't know if I'd hire it again just to catch the ending.

I must be missing something about No country for old men.
I really did enjoy Little Miss Sunshine. Someone mentioned Snatch...I have to admit. I don't think of it as a great movie...but I really did love it. I guess I could see it on this list. I was glad to see City of God get a little love here. It came out the same year as Gangs of New York, I remember seeing a review that stated.."In a year with two movies about big city gangs, this is the better movie....Hands Down." I saw it, and I gotta agree. I also think We Were Soldiers belongs here. I guess While I'm on a Mel Gibson train of thought I would add Payback...Darn it that was 99. |

Here is my list, in no particular order. I went with 10 movies that I enjoyed the first time I watched them, still enjoyed them the next time (and subsequent times) I saw them, and tried to diversify a little bit (ie: I might enjoy watching the 40-Year Old Virgin more than Brokeback Mountain, but I like Superbad and Zombieland a lot more than the 40-Year Old Virgin and would want some serious, well-acted dramas in my collection if I could only watch these movies):
Love Actually Superbad Dan in Real Life Zombieland High Fidelity No Country For Old Men Brokeback Mountain Gone Baby Gone Taken Casino Royale I think Dan in Real Life is one of the more underrated movies of the decade. I never saw it in a theatre, but really liked it the first time I saw it and have rewatched it on cable a half dozen or more times and I always seem to watch it again to the end. Agreed w/ the previous posters about how good a decade it was for movies. All of the Frat Pack comedies, the major trilogies that were mentioned (Spiderman, LOTR, X-Men, etc.), some great little indies that blew up (Juno and Little Miss Sunshine), and lots, lots more. |

I actually didn't think about this much. I could have a very different list tomorrow.
1) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2) There Will Be Blood 3) The Lives of Others 4) Oldboy 5) LOTR Trilogy 6) Children of Men 7) Downfall 8) House of Flying Daggers 9) Kill Bill 10) Snatch Honorable Mentions: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, City of God, Lost in Translation, Battle Royale, Memento, The Orphanage, The Dark Knight....I'll stop there. Still tons of movies I want to see from this decade. Edit: No, I did not copy Isiddiqui's list and forget to change 1, 2 and 6. Last edited by sabotai : 12-10-2009 at 02:10 PM. |

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, "Eternal Sunshine" NOT being on Blu-Ray yet is utterly criminal.

I haven't seen There Will Be Blood (something I'll remedy soon) or The Lives of Others, but Sabotai's list sits the best with me out of all the ones listed here I think.

I also have "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex" sitting here (mentioned earlier). I'll probably watch it tomorrow and might be editing my list. Another German movie I have is "Die Welle", which I heard great things about as well.
