10 Best Films of the Decade (That I’ve Seen)

Alright! The Halloween-Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year gauntlet has been navigated with varying degrees of success. One more look back at the last decade in list form.

As with my last post the only criteria is that the films were released between 2000 and 2009. Once again, in no particular order with number one being the exception.

10. Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)

9. Gladiator (2000)

8. Sin City (2005)

7. Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 (2003/2004)

6. Super Size Me (2004)

5. Lord of the Rings (2001 – 2003)

4. Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

3. Nochnoy dozor-Night Watch (2004)

2. Star Trek (2009)

1. Good Night, and Good Luck (2006)

Two reasons why I chose George Clooney’s Biopic for number one. First, and less importantly, it was a clear message to a press that had become too cozy with the Bush administration’ s agenda. Second, and MOST importantly, it was the movie my fiancee and I saw on our first date. That in itself makes it the best film of the First Decade.
