SATCHMO

The past decade for me was definitely not one where I caught a lot of movies, but I do have say that this was definitely one of the best and most memorable movies I saw. Since my memory is really not up to snuff enough for a top 10 list I'll just throw in how much I loved The Wackness (2008?), since I don't think it's been mentioned yet. The soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission.

2000- Requiem for a Dream, Memento
2001- Donnie Darko
2002- Can't think of any.
2003- Kill Bill
2004- Primer, The Machinist, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2005- Sin City
2006- The Science of Sleep, Children of Men
2007- Nothing made a huge impression on me this year.
2008- The Wrestler
2009- Same as 2007.

I'm actually going to change my 2009 movie to Inglourious Basterds, finally saw that and WOW, I was not expecting to like this movie as much as I did.

Bane of your existence

Oh I forgot about primer/didn't know it was made last decade. That one was great.

TheCunningStunt

Since everyone else has ditched the top 10 format.

Sin City
V For Vendetta
Kill Bill
Lord Of The Rings
Big Fish
Into The Wild
Blow
Catch Me If You Can
The Departed
Donnie Darko
Almost Famous
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Dead Mans Shoes

(In no particular order, just as I remembered them.)

ProggyMan

Revolver:

Yes, I know everyone hates it but it's beautifully done and yes, it's deep. Andre Benjamin (Yes, the guy from OutKast) is a revelation, I was shocked at how good he was. It's a real love/hate film and most people hate it but I'd imagine a lot of you guys on here would appreciate it. Ray Liotta is great too, if you can stand the sight of him in ultraviolet light wearing a thong.

^Lol.

Anyway, I was gonna post a comprehensive list of best films by year but who's gonna care anyway. So here's a very short version instead:


1. The Return
For my money, the best Russian film I've seen and a masterpiece of world cinema.

and the other 9:
Lantana - Best Australian film I've seen. A fantastic melodrama with a fantastic ensemble cast.
4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days - Chilling masterpiece of East-European cinema.
All or nothing - Mike Leigh's best work.
Me and you and everyone we know - Best indie of the decade from one of the most original and funny artists out there. Shame she doesn't make more.
Speed racer - Spectacular anime adaptation from the most influential and original action directors of our time.
The fall - Visually arresting but also heartbreaking.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind - Second best from the best screenwriter working today.
Amelie - Probably the best thing french cinema has produced since the 60s.
Head-on - Powerful and intense, one of the best examples of the resurgence of new German cinema.

That's it, I guess....:/

I saw this at a party a couple months ago. I thought it was awful....I just really couldn't stand the premise, and the acting was pretty bad.

I haven't seen that many films from this decade that I completely loved, but I thought American Psycho, The Dark Knight, and especially City of God were all really good.

Astronomer

Ha, I'm so surprised that someone other than me has even heard of this film... noone here is even familiar with it! I actually only watched it after I saw a version of the play Speaking In Tongues which it is based off. Anyway, I love this film, it's pretty fantastic. Lots of symbolism and metaphorical messages but still very realistic. Definitely worth a watch for anyone interested.

It's a pity the directors follow up 'Jindabyne' wasn't as good

Have you seen Life Is Sweet? Love that film and Timothy Spall is in that too.
