Best movies of the last 10 years

[Imposter]

I have really wanted to add newer movies to my DVD collection lately and come to you, the good people of Spurstalk to give me the films that have come out in the last 10 years or so that are must haves.

[manufan10]

I thought this one was pretty damn funny. Saw it in theaters, and then bought it when it came out.

This one is a little older than 10 years, but it's one of my all-time favorites.


I'm into comedy, so the majority of the movies I watch are comedies.

[manufan10]

This one made me cry.. no lie:

comedy-wise, Office Space would definitely be in my top few in the past 10 years...

[sonic21]

Mulholland drive
Mystic river
Traffic

[manufan10]

It was a decent movie:

Jim powers is a genius. Not quite at the Max Hardcore level but a genius none the less.

Yeah I know I'm just messing with you.

But just to be anal about if you look closely you can see some of the goods. LOL

Yeah but I'd bang the 'Mom' and the main girl on the right with the big ass.

even tho Al Pacino was one of the worst actors in it.

[stretch]

I hope you weren't serious about that tyler perry garbage or you can't rofl at anything.

no his movies are shit, but i was somewhat serious when calling him a genius, in that he went from being broke as fuck, to rich and famous as hell with a few movies and tv shows, all basically off the same script.

- big black family gets together as a big happy family
- happiness turns into stupid arguments and fights
- someone is cheating on someone
- the one who got cheated on gets their revenge
- everyone makes up and is back to being one big happy family

and it sells because people "can relate to it" and Perry knew that. great. a job well done. but after reusing the same basic script about 10 times, you would think people would have gotten tired of it, but somehow it still sells... like the wayans bros and their 150 different "(insert word here) movies".

tyler perry has got to be the most arrogant chode, this guy could take a dump and call it tyler perrys big black duece


the last 10 years isnt saying much
90% of movies now are will ferrell owen wilson jack black movies, remakes, romantic comedies and sequels to bad movies that nobody liked in the first place


i would have to go with


apocalypto
american psycho
no country for old men
equilibrium
idiocracy
the departed
rock opera
made
cube
ghostdog


only american psycho would make the all time top 20

[MiamiHeat]

Hands down, no argument. the best one in the last 10 years.

[mardigan]

Incorrect.

Gladiator is top 10.

However, these are better.

http://engl1102zombies.pbworks.com/f/28-Days-Later-Posters.jpg

Although Gladiator may be better than 28 days later.

Both great movies, Proposition is fraking amazing.

American History X, Fight Club, Adaptation, Old Boy gets listed again, Assassination Of Jesse James, Royal Tennenbaums, Spirited Away, Children Of Men, Munich, The Big Lebowski, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Jacket, Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Pans Labyrinth, Letters From Iwo Jima, and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada would be some of my favorites that haven't been listed.

Munich was crap; even moreso than the rest of that list.

Actually the wayans only made Scary movie 1 and 2. Hollywood saw easy money and other people made (insert word here) movies. And dance flick was made by the wayans' nephews.

And Tyler Perry is a product of Oprah. He's a fucking hack who doesn't screen his movies for critics, because he "doesn't make it for them." That's the same excuse that hack stephanie meyer uses when she "writes for herself" That's your standard "we suck" excuse

[Trainwreck2100]

and he had no fucking business being on star trek

[Spurminator]

I'd go, in no particular order:

Hotel Rwanda
City of God
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Wall-E
Team America World Police
Fight Club
Children of Men
Primer
28 Days Later


And I'd probably give you a different list if I tried to make one tomorrow.

[Sense]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

Is this movie really that amazing? Its been on my wanting to watch list for about a year now, but I cant find it on DVD. And I am waiting to watch it with a girl this semester and a pass for free poon.


I doubt you'll find it on any DVD in the US anytime soon...

I suggest that you download the movie ..

Personally.. I saw it before that piece of shit Quarantine came out, and I believe I made a thread about it.. or two and I loved it.

[Sense]

Can't forget

[whottt]

I think just about every movie mentioned so far in this thread sucks.

[bostonguy]

How isnt Training Day mentioned? That was the best performance Denzel Washington ever made in a film. That character of Alonzo Harris was something else.

[Rogue]

Absolutely the best movie of last decade is the classic movie known as "Monster's ball" starring not one or two, but three Oscar winners in Billy Bob Thornton, Halle Berry and Heath Ledger.

Actually the wayans only made Scary movie 1 and 2. Hollywood saw easy money and other people made (insert word here) movies. And dance flick was made by the wayans' nephews.

My point was, they started a certain type of movie that was basically re-done 100 fucking times yet people still see them (and somehow enjoy them each and every time). That's basically what Tyler Perry does, just with different people and a different time of year each time.

[MB20]

apocalypto


+1

[Dr. Gonzo]

http://somuchsilence.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/wackness.jpg

That is a great movie.

[leemajors]

no, the number 23 is a great movie.

[leemajors]

I'd go, in no particular order:

Hotel Rwanda
City of God
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Wall-E
Team America World Police
Fight Club
Children of Men

28 Days Later


And I'd probably give you a different list if I tried to make one tomorrow.

nice picks.

[slayermin]

Tough list but after some reflection, I will have to go with:

City of God
Amorros Perros
Memento
Amelie
Being John Malcovich
Capote
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Walk the Line
Apocalypto
Gangs of New York

[holcs50]

I LOL-ed when one of ya said 300, but honestly i watched it again tonight, that movies really good, and anyone who says its just about the visuals is a tard, i dont like that movie because the visuals, its a really cool movie about trusting and not leaving ur bros....anywhoo id say in no order last ten years

departed,matrix reloaded, 300, bourtne sepremacy, street kings, training day, gladiator, the beach (prob number 1 cuz no one makes a good adventure anymore), kill bill volume 1, batman begins and i guess we will go dramatic , ha, neverming, fight club and usual suspects are tied for ten

[mardigan]

Also In Bruges. Watched again the other night, and that movie is pretty much perfect.

[pkbpkb81]

The Pianist and Road to Perdition are great. I love those films.

This is a great post. I think I've seen almost every movie on there and they are all fantastic. Props for mentioning Spirited Away -- that's a phenomenal film that's often overlooked. Children of Men is incredible as well.

Fight Club is my favorite movie since 1999. Simply perfect -- one of the few movies I've ever seen which actually exceed the novel.

[CubanSucks]

WOW. I gotta add a new suggestion. I just saw Donnie Darko and it's fucking amazing. If you haven't seen it you must.

Memento
Mullholand drive
Oldboy (anyone who missed this one really missed out)

Lots of other good ones, but this ones stayed with me for a while after watching them.
