[TDMVPDPOY]

LOTR:FOTR = HORSESHIT

when you base ur shit around a fagot name froddo and a ring = fail
everything else about the movie was great besides that turd....

another series i hate was POTC, i only like it cause of jonny depp as jack sparrow and his adventures, while the rest of the cast i couldnt care less.....

[TheTruth]

Some great movies off the top of my head and in no particular order.

Almost Famous
V for Vendetta
Up
Bad Santa
The Pianist
Sideways
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings
High Fidelity
The Bourne Trilogy (they all kicked ass)
Munich
Gladiator
Children of Men
Before Sunset

[monosylab1k]

I never laughed harder at a movie in the theaters than I did at Borat, but on DVD i haven't even made it through the whole movie in one sitting. The replay value of Borat is terrible IMO.

1. Half Nelson
2. There Will Be Blood
3. George Washington
4. The Departed
5. Maria Full Of Grace
6. Children Of Men
7. Punch Drunk Love
8. The Squid And the Whale
9. Road To Perdition
10. No Country For Old Men

Although I could probably make my top 10 tomorrow and have 10 different movies on the list.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Surprised to see FOTR on there. I always thought Two Towers was the best of the bunch. The first took a solid hour to get really going anywhere and the third could have been a good 20 minutes shorter. Two Towers managed to feel well constructed and tight despite it's length.

I really don't have much to offer by way of a list. While the decade certainly put out a decent number of winners I haven't seen many of them that are making the lists like this one that are popping up everywhere as the decade winds down.

[easjer]

Since I tend to watch movies for escapism and/or schmaltz instead of cinematic quality, I can't talk much about top 10. I tend to avoid movies that may be critically acclaimed and magnificent but depress me. Interesting list though.

[Phenomanul]

Good list... but IMHO "Lost in Translation" is rated a bit too high...

[EmptyMan]

LOTR:FOTR = HORSESHIT

LOTR should be respected alone for simply converting one of the most popular book series of all human history into film. In order to do that you had to get through the foundation which was slimmed down anyways. LOTR must be viewed all as one movie when ranking it.

The Wedding Crashers is fucking hilarious. It's replay value is insane.

Hmmm...


This was a great decade for movies.

Guess I wouldnt know, apparently.

It is always a debate for me to stop playing a video game to watch a movie. Movies, by and large, suck major ass when compared to even the worst video game, for me anyway.

[Xylus]

Good list... but IMHO "Lost in Translation" is rated a bit too high...

You might be right. Now that I'm looking at the list the next day, I'd probably knock it a few spots down.

10. No Country For Old Men

Although I could probably make my top 10 tomorrow and have 10 different movies on the list.
You're right about Borat. I tend to rate comedies based on how funny they were the first time I saw them, rather than replay value. Otherwise, I've seen Burn After Reading like 5 times even though it wasn't as hilarious and socially relevant as Borat.

And I had a hard-as-hell time keeping Children of Men, No Country for Old Men, and the Departed out of my Top 10 list. The more I look at the list, the more I want to change it. :lol

[The Gemini Method]

Brick
Eagle vs Shark
Doubt
City of God

are a few of my faves...

[mookie2001]

im pretty serious about top 10 list too, there will be blood sucked ass, i guess if you like long boring snail-paced movies with a main character with a fucked up annoying as hell raspy country-irish american accent, about 17 year old preachers and the oil business that drag on and on and have one murder, despite being called there will be blood- its good


and thats a shitload of movies to list without listing american psycho or apocalypto, my top 2

[MiamiHeat]

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - GARBAGE. boring.
2. There Will Be Blood - was ok, but still, not even top 10.
3. Lost in Translation - not top 10
4. Spirited Away - I agree with this one. Amazing movie, love Miyazaki
5. Borat: - what...? top 10 movie of decade? oh man
6. Punch-Drunk Love - i couldn't sit through this garbage.
7. The Dark Knight - ok whatever, ill accept this opinion even if i disagree
8. Casino Royale - same as dark knight, i disagree but its a valid choice
9. City of God - do you mean Ciudade De Dios, the brazilian film? then yes
10. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring - ok sure



oh my god

that has to be one of the WORST movie lists i have ever seen.

[Bender]

Gladiator

This list is much better... no offense Xylus...

The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my all-time favorite movies...

I'd probably add The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to the list somewhere though...

[JoshO501]

punch drunk love?? with adam sandler? or am i thinking of something else?

[PM5K]

No Road To Perdition no care.

[monosylab1k]

The Count Of Monte Cristo? Seriously?

[MiamiHeat]

The Count Of Monte Cristo? Seriously?

go watch the 2002 version.

Guy Pearce, James Caviziel, Richard Harris.... great cast, great acting, superb version of the old story.

[MiamiHeat]

No Road To Perdition no care.

i liked that movie too, tom hanks was great

just reminds me that I need to go watch Johnny Depps gangster movie that came out

[monosylab1k]

go watch the 2002 version.

Guy Pearce, James Caviziel, Richard Harris.... great cast, great acting, superb version of the old story.

Yeah I've seen it. Not bad, just not anything special IMO.

[desflood]

I didn't find Borat amusing.

[Fpoonsie]

I know it's an off-beat choice, but "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarter" was fantastic. Hilarious, and I almost cheered at the end...almost.

Also, yes, City of God was a really good one. Just mad at myself for waiting so long to see it.

[MiamiHeat]

punch drunk love?? with adam sandler? or am i thinking of something else?

yeah... that movie i couldn't even sit through it, damn

doesn't help that I think adam sandler needs to stick to his shitty comedy movies.

his last decent one was...? billy madison? i dont even know

[MiamiHeat]

I know it's an off-beat choice, but "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarter" was fantastic. Hilarious, and I almost cheered at the end...almost.


hahaha, yeah that was funny.

[PM5K]

i liked that movie too, tom hanks was great

just reminds me that I need to go watch Johnny Depps gangster movie that came out

From a cinematography stand point, it's probably one of the most beautifully shot movies I've ever seen.

Even if one doesn't feel it's a top ten movie, it's certainly worth honorable mention for the visuals alone.

Public Enemies was okay.

[The Gemini Method]

V for Vendetta really?

[TheProfessor]

In no particular order:

Amores Perros
Lord of the Rings
Spirited Away
No Country for Old Men
Capote
In the Bedroom
Atonement
Notes on a Scandal
Away from Her
The Dark Knight

[dallaskd]

Punch Drunk Love was an absolutely horrible movie..

my list in no order..

1. No Country For Old Men
2. The Departed
3. The Hangover
4. The Dark Knight
5. There Will be Blood
6. Crash
7. Million Dollar Baby
8. Munich
9. Borat
10. Notorious

could easily come up with another 10 i liked just as well though..

[J.T.]

My list. Keep in mind I am a career stoner and some of these choices may or may not be influenced by their infinite rewatch potential if watched with a bong and some fine smokeable. Honorable mention to Across the Universe which is a decent movie on its own but an all-time great if watched with a head full of acid.

1. The Departed
2. Across the Universe
3. Pineapple Express
4. No Country for Old Men
5. Mystic River
6. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
7. Grandma's Boy
8. Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
9. Rock Star
10. Thank You for Smoking

9.

[Phenomanul]

I thought Click was pretty moving film... turned out to be an emotive comedy...

[Fpoonsie]

I thought Click was pretty moving film... turned out to be an emotive comedy...

Agreed. Was actually pretty upset w/ HOW upset I got w/ that one (daddy issues).

I liked Spanglish, too.

[MiamiHeat]

I thought Click was pretty moving film... turned out to be an emotive comedy...

really?

I never saw CLICK, figured it was another one of those shitty comedy cash cows


I guess I'll go grab it then, thanks

[RedsLakers24]

Memento

[CuckingFunt]

I have no intention of making my own list because I'll get obsessive and give it way more time than I really have to give... but... I will say that I can't take any of these lists seriously until I see The Proposition somewhere.

[baseline bum]

City of God
Little Miss Sunshine
Planet Terror
Death Proof
Rambo
Superbad
40 Year-Old Virgin

No Country for Old Men was the most overrated thing I have seen since Fargo.

[Greg Oden]

You have to be a mavfan to have the departed #1 on your list.

[Bender]

I didn't find Borat amusing.I know... it sucked.

the fact that many here have it on their Top Ten of the Decade list.... shows their level of intelligence.

:monkey

[David Bowie]

The only movies that really stand out in my mind are :

13
L.I.E.
The Departed
American Psycho

Most of the movies I like were made in the late 90's :wakeup

[mookie2001]

the fact that many here have it on their Top Ten of the Decade list.... shows their level of intelligence.i guess 2 is many...

[Xylus]

I know... it sucked.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

but your post makes me want to get the lead out and finally watch spirited away

Fellowship of the Ring was the best-paced film in the trilogy. Two Towers was one long battle scene, and Return of the King was 30 minutes too long. Fellowship had my two favorite scenes in the whole series:

1. Gandalf falling into the pit with the Balrog--in fact, that whole scene is a fucking classic.
2. Boromir redeeming himself at the end of the film, saving Merry and Pippin from certain death and sacrificing himself in the process.

[leemajors]

Van Helsing is severely underrated as a comedy classic.

[mookie2001]

oh comedy classics, timeline starring paul walker

"we have to go back in time... on the timeline"

actually any movie with paul walker is always fucking hilarious, he has become one of my favorite actors

[DieMrBond]

Fellowship had my two favorite scenes in the whole series:

1. Gandalf falling into the pit with the Balrog--in fact, that whole scene is a fucking classic.
2. Boromir redeeming himself at the end of the film, saving Merry and Pippin from certain death and sacrificing himself in the process.

Damn straight... even though i knew those two scenes were going to happen, they still sent shivers down my spine. Serious nerd-gasm.

[TheProfessor]

Van Helsing is severely underrated as a comedy classic.
Agreed. The Day After Tomorrow also belongs up there.

[Spurminator]

Hotel Rwanda
City of God
Children of Men
Moulin Rouge
No Country For Old Men
Wall-E
28 Days Later
Almost Famous

Team America: World Police

1. Gandalf falling into the pit with the Balrog--in fact, that whole scene is a fucking classic.
2. Boromir redeeming himself at the end of the film, saving Merry and Pippin from certain death and sacrificing himself in the process.

The Gandalf-Balrog scene was the only thing worthwhile in that entire movie. We are talking movies, not the concept of the story you have in your head as a result of a book-made-movie.
The first movie was mostly boring, mostly setup, and almost totally justifies the LOTR scoff that Clerk dude does in Clerks 2. As a movie, it blew taint.
Two Towers was amazing, and ROTK was amazing.
Chief reason being: amazing battle scenes = amazing movie

The fellows being trapped in the fortress and knowing they are about to fight to the death in the Two Towers evoked more emotion ten times over than anything we felt in Fellowship.
Fellowship was a necessary movie to setup the other two. I don't see any reason I'd ever watch that one again.

[mookie2001]

i would rather wear an eminem tshirt to the kappa beach party than watch Lords of the rings

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Yeah but you also were supposed to cut your dick off after ou beat us in 2002 and 2003

[jaffies]

Primer

:tu

[spursfan09]

Gandalf falling battling the balrog was the beginning of the second movie. Unless you mean where in the first movie you only see the reaction of the people who tought Gandalf died.

Anyway, I love LoTR's!

[RedsLakers24]

i hate Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings

[brettn]

Completely agree with this. FOTR did a great job of setting up the next 2 movies. Other than that it was pretty mediocre. As far as the entire story goes, the entire trilogy makes the top 10 list of this decade for sure, especially the battle at the end of two towers at helms deep. The battles in ROTK were great as well but didn't quite compare to the helms deep battle.

As far as other movies go, I've seen some pretty decent lists. I may have missed it but the only movie I've seen being neglected is Traffic. That one is easily top 10 on my list, maybe even top 5 but its close. Other than that No Country, Children of Men, The Bourne Movies and Departed have all been mentioned. Mystic River and 25th Hour have been pretty neglected too I suppose. These lists are usually alot of preference anyways so theres always gonna be some disagreement.

[brettn]

Oh, and Gladiator. How that wasn't included in the original list is beyond me.

[mojorizen7]

This decade..........in no particular order:

25th hour

Gladiator

No Country for Old Men

Monsters Ball

Mystic River

Kill Bill Vol I & II

40 Year Old Virgin

Million Dollar Baby

There Will Be Blood

Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind

------------------------------------------------------------

For my money though, the films made between the very late 60's thru right around '82 made up some of the best films ever made.
Could be my older fucking age, but I think NOT.
Also in the late 90's the bar was raised again IMO.

p.s. Ya'll can bust me for saying this but.....The Dark Knight is extremely overrated. Without Ledger it's "The Day After Tomorrow" with Cops n Robbers....and with a still living Ledger this movies shelf life drops to about a year...maybe two.
I thought it was a been there done that average action flick that tried to squeeze 50 lbs of shit into a 10lb bag........ with a brilliant performance from Ledger.

[Bender]

i guess 2 is many...
I guess the lists were quoted so many times it seemed like more.

Uncalled for.
ok sorry. I just dont see it fitting with most of the other movies on the lists... also, I can't stand that guy (bruno).

However, looking at the lists some more, there are others that belong in the heap with Borat, like Pineapple Express...

[Drachen]

Someone put Requieum and reminded me that Pi was not on here (does it qualify chronologically?).

Also, I didn't crack a smile the whole time Borat was on, it reminded me of watching any episode of SNL recently that doesn't feature justin timberlake (yes I know I am so ashamed of actually liking the guy).
I guess I am going to have to see City of God after reading this.

Lastly, I thought Crash was more of a description than a movie title.

[Magic_Johnson]

mulholland drive
slumdog millionaire
little miss sunshine
eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
lost in translation

[David Bowie]

Forgot to metion Requiem for a Dream and Mystic River-some others have pointed it out allreaedy

[Xylus]

Oh, and Gladiator. How that wasn't included in the original list is beyond me.

To be honest, I've never even seen Gladiator. I've just never gotten around to it for some reason.

[The Reckoning]

Blow

The Patriot

[Bender]

To be honest, I've never even seen Gladiator. I've just never gotten around to it for some reason.
watch it.... immediately!

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Gladiator is entertaining, i wouldn't call it a good film, it's only good when you compare it to the CGI dark blood bubbled pile of shit, 300

but then again some of yall would list

lotr 2
lotr 3
harry potter
lotr
lotr 4
harry potter 3
harry potter 4

as your favorite movies

[Girasuck]

I can't believe that not one list has The Wrestler on it.

[Whisky Dog]

here's a movie list for your asses.

Top 10 of decade, in no particular order

Gladiator - Good Choice
Ciudade De Dios - Good Choice
The Count of Monte Cristo - No f'n way. Average movie.
Blood Diamond - hahahahahaha!!!! What a fag.
Spirited Away - Good Choice
The Last King of Scotland - Fuck no.
Batman Begins - Holy shit you've got fucking nasty ass taste
Munich - Boring and Loooooooonnnnngggggg
History of Violence - Boring as Hell.
LOTR Trilogy is just one big movie - Yes, for a bunch of fag ass geeks.

I also wanted to add... STOP. No one gives a shit, you qualified yourself as a boring, gay, geek already.


Nice Try

[bostonguy]

No mention of Training Day?? That was IMO Denzel Washington's best performance I have ever seen. He won an academy award for that role of Alonzo Harris.

My list in no order:

Training Day
No Country for Old men
The Departed
Stop-Loss
I am Sam
Donnie Darko
Der Untergang
The Wrestler
Gran Torino
There will be Blood
25th Hour
The Patriot

[JMarkJohns]

25th Hour

This, for the monologue scene alone.

Another film that may not belong on a list like this, but was as well-acted and stunning a film as I saw from this decade was Candy with Geoffry Rush, Heath Ledger and Abby Cornish. Heavy, intense and jaw-dropping with how well acted the film was. Really recommend the film. For as good as Ledger was as The Joker, this is by far his most amazing performance.

[mookie2001]

never saw that one

but it was funny and completely foreseeable that heath ledger became a great actor after his death

[JMarkJohns]

never saw that one

but it was funny and completely foreseeable that heath ledger became a great actor after his death

I saw Candy for the first time in 2007, so my opinion was pre-death. He always had potential, but chose some iffy roles. I hated his teen-drama/romance roles. Once he stopped settling he started living up to that potential. Not sure he ever became great, but he could be very good and this role speaks to that more so than any other...

[MiamiHeat]

To be honest, I've never even seen Gladiator. I've just never gotten around to it for some reason.

dude...what?

Gladiator is an ultimate guy movie. are you joking! go watch it

[RedsLakers24]

Pans Labyrinth

Life Aquatic
25th Hour
The Wrestler

In Bruges was good, but i dont think top 10

[mookie2001]

russell crowe won an oscar

[Cant_Be_Faded]

rofl
never would have thought in a bajillion years that mookie would not like 300
NEVER

[slayermin]

I'm no Ledger/Joker fanboy, but he did already have an Oscar nomination before he died.

He should have won a best supporting actor for 'Monster's Ball,' imho.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

you shitting me? He lasted like twenty minutes into the movie and the emotion just seemed so forced when he shot himself in the stomach. Billy Bob carried almost every scene Heath was in.

[CharlieMac]

Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine need to get the fuck off of that list. Throw in teh Departed and 28 Days Later. Now.

[DPG21920]

In Bruges was good, but i dont think top 10

Maybe, but it was the one of the best dark comedies I have seen.

[RedsLakers24]

Maybe, but it was the one of the best dark comedies I have seen.

Yeah i loved the last part with the Midget

Yeah i loved the last part with the Midget

It was hilarious and sad and intense. I just grabbed it randomly one night and was really surprised at how good it was. Definitely should be mentioned as one of the best dark comedies of this decade if not one of the best movies.

croflrofl brah...

What is hard to understand about the movies I listedddd

[mookie2001]

Pans Labyrinth
Gangs of New York
Donnie Darko never saw
Life Aquatic (easy to understand but i think ive mentioned this movie as the worst, most unfunny critically acclaimed film of all time)
25th Hour never saw
The Wrestler never saw
Million Dollar Baby
Snatch
In Bruges saw but gave up
A Scanner Darkly (saw because of alex jones but didnt care for)


i guess just scanner and pans, i spoke too soon i guess- my bad. but these two are just so visually confusing, one can get lost within the first ten minutes. i mean come on can you really tell me what pans labyrnith was about?

rofl we would not get along

[monosylab1k]

mookie you do realize that Life Aquatic wasn't critically acclaimed right? Critics all thought it sucked. The only people who liked it were Wes Anderson fanboys, NYU film grads, and quasi-intellectuals who like to sit around talking about how it reminds them of Jean-Luc Godard. Actually the 3rd category is the exact same thing as the other two.

[mookie2001]

yeah that has been debated, the only thing i ever heard about it was that it a hilarious, dry, intelligent comedy with a cult following, it certainly wasnt berated by critics. my stupidass friends (who also love always sunny in philadelphia) all love the shit out of it. if im wrong, the critics were correct on this one, i maybe cracked one smerk after watching the entire film waiting for the funny part

[slayermin]

you shitting me? He lasted like twenty minutes into the movie and the emotion just seemed so forced when he shot himself in the stomach. Billy Bob carried almost every scene Heath was in.

His performance was the most memorable. That's not to say Billy Bob Thornton wasn't good. He was. But I've only seen 'Monster's Ball' once and Ledger was so good, I forgot he didn't have that much screen time.

Have any of you guys seen the Movie The Jacket?, its a good movie

Yes, I can tell you Pans is about. That was not only a visually stunning movie, but a pretty good story. The most simplistic way to explain it is a child developed an alternate reality in order to escape a violent and brutal world she lived in. Even her dream world was rough, but at least she had a chance to escape. But I can see why it would not be everyone. These are not the only movies I like, but I was listing what I thought were the best movies of the decade.

BTWPS, Life Aquatic if hilarious if you are not to cool for school. The part where they are going to rescue the "stooge" and they run through the swamp with leeches is so damn funny.

[B-Hath]

No mention of Training Day?? That was IMO Denzel Washington's best performance I have ever seen. He won an academy award for that role of Alonzo Harris.

Meh. I got tired of the angry "King Kong ain't got nothing on me(blah blah blah)" Philadelphia, Glory & Crimson Tide are his best films IMO.

It was just uneven and fairly boring in most parts, with some notable exceptions. Kinda like Burn After Reading.

[Spurminator]

Ironic, but I felt like Life Aquatic epitomized "too cool for school."

Haven't made it through the movie yet. First time I tried to watch it, it was 2am and I was tired, so I fell asleep. The second time I tried to watch it, it was 8pm, I wasn't tired... and I fell asleep.
