Ok I still have a few more to watch from this year.. and I am sure I am forgetting one or two... but here is my first attempt.  My top 10 lists for each year are located on Netflix... and looking through them I think I need to update them with other movies I have watched.  My first thought was to take the top 1 from each year and make my list... then I thought.. that isn't right.  My top ten consists of movies I love to watch over and over, movies that blew me away and movies that just plain surprised me.  I know... none of the Lord of the Rings movies even made my back up list... not many big blockbusters.

Unbreakable surprised me.  I guess I didn't know your movie tastes as well as I thought.

Unbreakable was a very very good film.  I loved how Night made a whole movie devoted to the first chapter of a superhero's life.  It was also introduced us to the idea of making superhero films that felt more real and less comic bookie.  So really this film was groundbreaking.  I watch this movie over and over when it is on tv. 

Damn hard, as I do not exactly keep a list of all the movies I have seen, so I might have forgotten a few. Anyhoo, in no particular order...

 

Let The Right One In (2008)

Lilya 4-Ever (2002)

This Is England (2006)

City Of God (2002)

Lost In Translation (2003)

Atonement (2007)

A Very Long Engagement (2004)

Persepolis (2007)

Million Dollar Baby (2004)

La Môme (2007)

What about boondock saints 2: all saints day?

I've yet to see it... but... its gotta be good right?

I've heard differing reviews.  This is taking me a while.  No way I can remember all the good movies I've seen over 10 years.

There is no way I can choose just 10. No way.

 

 

Then put up a list of your favs for the decade...
