Top 12 of the Decade: The 2000s

[E.H. Ruddock]

I thought each of the movies I used as examples were good. That's why I referenced them.

Thanks, jerk

[epilogue]

good Night and good luck, a forgotten terrific film

I'm not sure I'd call that "forgotten"...

I mean I forgot to put it on my list. If that counts. Great little movie.

[Farmer John]

1. There Will Be Blood
2. Pan’s Labyrinth
3. The Incredibles
4. Children of Men
5. Moon
6. Memento
7. City of God
8. In Bruges
9. No Country for Old Men
10. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

[BurtReynolds]

Digging through the top 1000 US movies, my list is the following:

10. Coraline
9. The Dark Knight
8. Black Swan
7. Idiocracy
6. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
5. Thank You for Smoking
4. Children of Men
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2. Adaptation.
1. Rango


Honorable mention:
Super, The Fountain, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Other Guys, 300, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Winter's Bone, WALL·E, Gangs of New York, Up in the Air, Kill Bill: Vol. 2, Jarhead, The Darjeeling Limited, Team America: World Police, Primer, The Adventures of Tintin, The New World, District 9, The Constant Gardener, Lost in Translation

district 9 was a pretty wild fucking movie, if I made these kinds of lists it'd probably be in the top 10 just for the fucked up factor of the whole thing.

It almost made the top 10. I think it was hurt by the fact that Elysium was so unbelievably terrible. It made me rethink my District 9 love.

[ABNorman]

Big Fish
Coraline
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
No Country For Old Men
Wall-E
Amelie
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Batman Begins
There Will Be Blood

[ABNorman]

Shit, Team America should be in there somewhere.

I have a ripped copy of Elysium that I've yet to watch. I look at the disk sometimes and then pick something else, usually a movie I've already seen

Edited.

[nyquillyn]

I'm pretty shocked not to see Requiem for a Dream on more of these lists. Burstyn's performance may be my favorite performance ever.

[LoathedVermin72]

Gladiator

The Two Towers (if only allowed to pick one of the trilogy)

Yeah LV needs to fix that on his list.

I can't separate them. They are one equal entity in my mind. I can't watch one without the others.
