General Discussion : Top 10 favorite films of the Decade

[kyle.loomis]

I'm not going to post my list, because honestly who gives a shit, but I now that it's over I can safely say that this decade is one of the best that world cinema has seen yet, only behind the 50's and the 60's.

Why?

Who knows what made it so great, all I know is if I count up my tier 10 films by decade, that last one would be kicking ass.

3.) Talk to Her
4.) Yi Yi
5.) The Edge of Heaven

I can't bring myself to rate them numerically so I'll list them alphabetically:

Top 6:

The Girl Cut in Two / Claude Chabrol, France 2007
Life is a Miracle / Emir Kusturica, Serbia 2004
Mutual Appreciation / Andrew Bujalski, USA 2005
Spirited Away / Hayao Miyazaki, Japan 2001
Waltz with Bashir / Ari Folman, Israel 2008

Runners up include:
Amen / Costa-Gavras, France 2002
Beaufort / Joseph Cedar, Israel 2007
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead / Sidney Lumet, USA 2007
The Departed / Martin Scorsese, USA 2006

Two Lovers / James Grey, USA 2008
The White Diamond / Werner Herzog, Germany 2004

There are a lot of others that I loved... but from what I've seen so far I guess these would be the leaders.

Overrated and not to my liking:
Werckmeister Harmonies, There Will Be Blood, Songs from the 2nd Floor, everything by the Coens, everything by Pixar, everything by Tarantino, Amelie, Donnie Darko, Batman Begins franchise, In Bruges, and more.
