Top of the Decade


Okay making a list of the top movies of the decade is nearly impossible. I turned to other lists but found very little leverage. It took me a while... that's why I haven't posted it until now.
  1. Kill Bill (2003-4) - I still think of these two movies as one split into two parts, I don't like one better than the other, I just think of them as one movie.
  2. WALL-E (2008) - This movie wasn't originally my top film of 2008, it was at a close second. The reason it made it all the way here is that I liked this movie more and more every time I saw it, and it ended up to be so extremely re-watchable. To tell you the truth, I saw this movie 3 times in theaters and I must have seen it 7 times on DVD. Now all you animation haters who won't even give this movie a fair chance, shame on you!
  3. Adaptation (2002) - Watching this movie was seriously one of the most interesting times I've ever had watching a movie. The way it went back and forth between fact and fiction was brilliant. When I was finished I had no idea what was truth and what wasn't I just knew I really liked what I saw.
  4. Pan's Labyrinth (2006) - This movie was right up my alley, creepy, weird, and haunting. It is like if a Greek myth was placed in the middle of a horror movie taking place during the Spanish Civil War.
  5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) - It's the second Charlie Kaufman screenplay to appear on my list. This movie is unexplainable in one short paragraph as are many Kaufman movies so I'll just make a cheesy statement about the movie instead. I won't have this movie erased from my memory!
  6. Mulholland Drive (2001) - This movie was just so creepy and cool, and Naomi Watts is so good in it. This is another movie that is just my type of movie.
  7. Inglorious Basterds (2009) - If you read my review you know that I love every second of this movie. From the amazing opening scene to the final frame.
  8. Donnie Darko (2001) - This is another one of the strange type of movies that I love, but for some reason I didn't find is as confusing as most people seem to.
  9. Juno (2007) - This is another one of those movies I watch over and over again and they just don't get old. Every darn line of this screenplay is spot on, kudos to Diablo Cody.
  10. Erin Brockovich (2000) - I don't know why, but for some reason I really love this movie. Mainly because of the fact that I just enjoy the story.
