Top 12 of the Decade: The 2000s

[LoathedVermin72]

Didn’t get too many responses for the first post, so I thought I’d try something more recent to see if it might be more accessible.

To be clear, 2000s refers to 2000-2009.

1. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
2. Lost in Translation
3. Bronson
4. There Will Be Blood
5. Punch-Drunk Love
6. The Devil’s Rejects
7. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
8. The Room
9. Broken Flowers
10. Ocean’s Eleven
11. A History of Violence
12. Innocence

Honorable Mention: The Matador

Technically a decade starts with the year "1". So 2001 would be the first year of the decade and 2010 the last. Look it up.

Technically the LOTR trilogy is three movies so you have to take two off your list. Look it up.

That's really stupid.

Not if you think about it. A decade = ten years. our "A.D." years didn't begin at zero, they began at year one. therefore, ten years would have been years 1 - 10, so on and so forth...

Ok, so I have an irrational hatred for it.

Ruddo don't make me come over there

Are we going by production time? We should.

If a movie was written, developed, and filmed during the 1998-2000 period, but was released in 2001, is it really fair to allow that to be considered one of the best films of the 2001-2010 era?

And wait...what if the production time straddles the cutoff?

I think we need to elect a governance committee before we try to decide anything further.

[LoathedVermin72]

Really, in the scope of the crushing indifference of the universe, the human construct of labeling time is so meaningless that we should probably abandon this thread altogether.

Amirite?

We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars.

Then we got jobs.

It's a small exhaust port, right below the main port.

Yup, just like we weren't ringing in a new millennium on new year's eve 1999.

We ring a new millennium every minute of our being Chud, some just choose to set arbitrary end points.
