Yay Top 20!!
Category: No Category
After prompting from Lady Morgan I jumped on board and decided to write my Top 20 Films of the last 10yrs. I wanted mine to be somehow different so thought it best to allow every year to have a standout or two - so from the Year 2000 to 2009 I have chosen two films from each year to make up my list. And I damn well like it 
An awesome bunch of films I want to sit down and watch again.
I also must have a slight protest. The end of the decade is not until the end of this year
20) Finding Neverland (2004)
19) Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
18) Alpha Dog (2007)
17) Spiderman (2002)
16) Into the Wild (2007)
15) Brick (2006)
14) Spirited Away (2002)
13) Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
12) Batman Begins (2005)
11) Elephant (2004)
10) Australia (2008)
9) 12 and Holding (2005)
8) Gladiator (2000)
7) Requiem for a Dream (2000)
6) Donnie Darko (2001)
5) City of God (2003)
4) Return of the King (2003)
3) The Dark Knight (2008)
2) Star Trek (2009)
1) Avatar (2009)

im also a huge fan of Finding Neverland, i included it on my tear-jerker movie list a few months back
i havent seen Alpha Dog yet, but i am very curious of it now, actually theres a few you have listed that i havent seen, ill keep them in mind next time im browsing dvds
you know The Dark Knight was our only official overlap, but you have only selected one which i particularly disliked (Australia), i think we have fairly compatible taste

Just to start with this comes from Wiki Answers:
Consider the first year of the decade to be 1. There is no 0 to start. So the full ten years would end in this decade for example on 31/12/10
Luke - it is funny you mention those exact years. I graduated from high school in 1990 and it was considered the last year of the 80's when I was there
And - you can't take the special effects out of Avatar - it is what makes the film. I am yet to watch it in 2D although my parents saw it this way first and still thought it was sensational.
Yay Rix - what a surprise response from you young padiwan. Have a safe trip. Luv ya
Thanks heaps Jesus!!! I totally loved Alpha Dog and I do believe I was the only person on the entire planet that loved Australia. I guess I just saw something different. I am also a HUGE Harry fan and I still think the first one was the most detailed and dedicated to the story
PS: If you ever go to Baz's house again I think you may need an assistant
Bryn - I didn't post a Top 20 of the decade - only the top 20 of the last 10yrs
Thanks heaps people - have an awesome day!!

A decade is ten years yes - but when you talk in decades as is in - "this current decade" you would be referring to the 80's, 90's, naughties etc - the naughties don't end until Dec 31st
But stick to your guns - live and believe in what makes more sense to you

Interesting list, some I really liked as you know. Some ranked alot higher than I would have expected.
The only film I hated was 'Australia", i really have nothing nice to say about it.
Alpha Dog had some moments but overall suffered from terrible acting and a story that tried way to hard...kind of like Chumscrubber, which i preferred but still though was over run by faults.
Elephant really deserved to be in my list, it is an exceptional work that really effected me.
I'm surprised that Philosopher's Stone made the cut, for me its the lamest of the Potter films, Prisoner of Azkaban is my fave by far.
I still haven't seen Avatar yet, but don't think it would make my list...hope I am wrong.

To me Philosopher's stone was the most detailed and prior to it I knew nothing of Harry Potter. I watched the first movie and then read all the books. It introduced me to a world I fell in love with
