Top Films of the Decade

[carrier76]

Would it be wrong of me to throw Center Stage and Bring It On in the ring, for starters?

Memento
Enternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Bridget Jones's Diary (I)
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (with the Fellowship of the Ring being my favourite)
The Pianist (Polanski, I know, but it's Adrien Brody who makes the film work)
Brokeback Mountain
Finding Nemo
Pirates of the Caribbean; The Curse of the Black Pearl (I actually think that Depp's performance there is one for the ages)
Monsters Inc
The Fast and the Furious (the 2001 movie. Yes, I have no shame)
Amelie



...and many more! I've noticed that I like many movies from the beginning of the decade but think I just watched more movies back then....

[Martini Girl]

I'm going to probably be in the minority on some of these, but here's a list of films I liked most this decade:

LOTR Trilogy
Memento
Moulin Rouge
Gladiator
Shrek/ Shrek 2
UP
The Incredibles
Little Miss Sunshine
Slumdog Millionaire
Million Dollar Baby (loved Morgan Freeman)
In the Shadow of the Moon
An Education
Children of Men
Constant Gardner
Kill Bill (vol 1 & 2)
Closer (loved Clive Owen)
Requiem for a Dream
Mullholland Drive
House of Sand and Fog
Michael Clayton
Pianist (director issues aside)
Far From Heaven
Eastern Promises
Royal Tennenhaums
Star Trek 2009
Before Sunset
Amelie

I saw The Lord of the Rings saga more than any other film this decade I'm sure. I know I'm missing some films... and there are several you all have mentioned that I've been meaning to see. I feel like a bad film lover for neglecting them!

ETA-- Center Stage!! One of my all-time guilty pleasures. LOVE it!

solly79, I have a shameless love for the first Fast and Furious movie too. And I loved The Pianist. Brilliant performance by Brody.

I haven't seen it in years but back then I owned the film on video (!) and watched it more often than can be possibly healthy. Vin and Paul were unbelievably cute then I haven't seen any of the sequels because I loved the first one so much.



There are lots of great films mentioned in this thread, love it!

NEVER!!

[save lilo!]

I will also chip in a very enthusiastic "2nd!" or "3rd!" for Eternal Sunshine as well as The Constant Gardener.

Can't believe no one mentioned Adaptation, I've only seen it once but I still think about it from time to time.

As the New Yorker critic, Darjeeling is also my favorite out of the Anderson movies I have seen.

Chicago is the only musical movie I can say I love, and that says a lot considering I hate Renee Zellweger with a passion and Richard Gere's voice was creepy. Queen Latifah and Zeta-Jones was amazing, I really didn't expect it out of them!

I don't know if anyone's mentioned Pan's Labyrinth.

[Matilda]

I wouldn't say these are the "best" movies of the decade, but they're some of my favourites:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Moulin Rouge!
Chicago
City of God
Volver
Requiem for a Dream
Kill Bill 1 & 2
The Departed

[small voice]
Enchanted (yeah, I'm 12)
Mamma Mia!
A Knight's Tale

[WitchyPoo]

I'll toss in a few. Some have been mentioned but some have not.

Me, You and Everyone We Know
Memento
The Royal Tennenbaums
Pan's Labyrinth
Adaptation
The Lives of Others
Shaun of the Dead
About a Boy
Capturing the Friedmans
Far From Heaven
Mulholland Drive
Talk to Her
Gosford Park
Kill Bill, Vol 1
American Splendor
Ghost World
You Can Count On Me
I'm Not There
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart
Dig!




That's all for now.

[chonies]

I'll get behind Pan's Labyrinth!

I think some of these have been mentioned, but anyway:

Children of Men
Chak De! India
Whale Rider
Once
Winged Migration
March of the Penguins
Bend it like Beckham
