Darren called Revenge of the Sith "the best film of the decade" and so I got to thinking about it and so I decided to make a thread...here's my top ten at the half way juncture despite not having seen the most anticipated film of the year(ROTS). In no particular order, subject to change:

LOTR
Kill Bill
Spiderman 2
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
The Bourne Supremacy
House of Flying Daggers
Black Hawk Down
Unbreakable
Y tu Mama tambien
City Of God

I hope 'Revenge' cracks my top ten...

• Cellular
• Kill Bill (Vol. 1, Vol. 2)

[Bon-san]

Everything else has basically been rubbish.

Well, now that's been established, I don't need to trouble over compiling my list.

[Kingdom Come]

I can barely think of one film in the last decade that is in my list of fav films. I could mention Secret Window, or Unbreakable. I certainly would never mention Bourne Identity. Although it is very difficult to try and remember films in the last 10 years. Maybe that's just me. In any case for a good few years now I visit the cinema less and less as they all seem to be going for kids more than ever.

Oh remembered - Ripley's Game & The Talented Mr Ripley.

[DLibrasnow]

1. Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

And elsewhere on the list, in no particular order.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

In no particular order:

Kill Bill (again, as a whole)
Collateral
Fight Club
Big Fish
Donnie Darko
Sin City
Closer
The Lord of the Rings (also as a whole)
Man on Fire
The Incredibles

[tdalton]

In no particular order:

The Last Samurai
Traffic
The Bourne Identity
The Interpreter
Closer
Kill Bill (as a whole)
Man on Fire
In Good Company
Finding Forrester
The Passion of the Christ

[Bondian]

I can't really say that even over the lat 20 years there would be 10 films that I can say that would be worthy of any remembrance.

[Tarl_Cabot]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Big Fish
Amores Perros
City of God
Sideways
Touching the Void
Capturing the Friedmans
Kill Bill, as a whole

Everything else has basically been rubbish.

[Fraternal]

Unbreakable

Unbreakable

That can't be right. Unbrekable is one of the worst movies ever made. Straight from the M Night heap.

Well, I loved the film and I own the SE DVD. I didn't see it in theaters because everyone told me how slow and boring it was. I wish I didn't listen to people with AADD who need car chases, kung fu and wall to wall CGI every 5 minutes to keep their interst becuase it's a damn good film.

[Qwerty]

I agree with Tarl. I love the film and own the SE DVD as well. Goes to show that well thoughtout filmmaking can turn into a terrific drama for a movie.

[Fraternal]

Apart from the fact that Shyamalan is the most overrated hack in Hollywood, the acting was comical at best and you'll find it hard to find worse casting. A total waste of my money.

[Tarl_Cabot]

I guess there's no convincing you then. To each his own. I enjoyed the film.How about sharing with the class YOUR top ten?

[Fraternal]

I'm not the biggest moviegoer so I'll probably struggle to come up with 5 that I liked.

[Qwerty]

Apart from the fact that Shyamalan is the most overrated hack in Hollywood, the acting was comical at best and you'll find it hard to find worse casting. A total waste of my money.

To each his own of course. Who do you think would have been better in the movie?

[Fraternal]

It would have been better if it was't made at all. Shyamalan has no talent for movie making and people syaing all his movies are the work of a genius only makes him create more crap with a stupid predictable ending that claims to be a "huge twist".

[Qwerty]

Fair enough.

[Bon-san]

Apart from the fact that Shyamalan is the most overrated hack in Hollywood, the acting was comical at best and you'll find it hard to find worse casting. A total waste of my money.

So you don't like Shymalan. Or Sean Connery. Or "Goldfinger".

But you love Casino Royale.

Hmm...

[Qwerty]

Goldfinger is overrated.

[DLibrasnow]

Apart from the fact that Shyamalan is the most overrated hack in Hollywood,

I agree with you Fraternal.

I never saw what was so interesting about THE SIXTH SENSE since you knew within the first couple of minutes of the movie that the Willis' character was dead.

"I see dead people!" ...well of course you do kid you are talking to Willis and he's been dead for the whole movie.

I still don't get what the big surprise was supposed to be in that movie. Everyone talked about it, but it never came.

[Tarl_Cabot]

I finally saw 'Revenge of the Sith' today. It's creepy! But good. Not a top ten film of the decade but certainly the best SW prequel(not too dificult really is it?) but visually and effects, action wise it's definitely the most spectacular film of the decade.It's entertaining as hell.I'll probably buy the DVD.

[Athena007]

ok, so we're talking 2000-2010? *ponder*
Ok, (-Die Another Day, here's MY Top 10 so far (I know I'm probably forgetting about something)...
