[BlackKnight]

Training Day was real good ....

I sat down the other night and Watched Inglorious Basterds ..., And the constant Sub-Titles took the enjoyment overall of the Movie Away from me somewhat...

I sat down the other night and Watched Inglorious Basterds ..., And the constant Sub-Titles took the enjoyment overall of the Movie Away from me somewhat...

I can totally understand that as a criticism of the movie and there are a lot of things in Inglorious Basterds that I think could have been done better.

For me, it boils down to the fact that I had a really good time watching it. I loved like heck that while Hitler was laughing his head off watching a movie portrayal of American Troops being slaughtered by his heroic sniper, I was in on the joke that he was about to have it all shoved up his arse!

And I found a renewed appreciation for Brad Pitt. Pitt is awesome as a bad-***.

[Hector]

Wow...an entire decade?

I don't even know what or how many movies fall within the last decade's time frame...lol.

I'd have to do a research...and see what I come up with.

[toys2cool]

the Lotr trilogy nuff said

[megoapesnut]

1-Gladiator
2-Dark Knight
3-Star Trek
4-Iron Man
5-Casino Royale

There's the top 5 anyway

[Hector]

My list will NOT include any of the Lord of the Rings flicks...I hate Hobbits...I want them all dead.

[huedell]

...I was in on the joke that he was about to have it all shoved...

Since movie situations like that one depend on the suspense created by
"will he" or "won't he" "have it all shoved" I can't imagine that was the
intended humor of that moment...still it was a great moment in one of the
greatest movies ever made...and certainly one of the best of the decade.

[Hector]

In no particular order (top dozen):

Pan's Labyrinth
Dark Knight
Up
City of God
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Donnie Darko
Gladiator
Star Trek
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
No Country for Old Men
Sideways
Casino Royale

[huedell]

Training Day was real good ....

I say "great"...another of the best movies ever IMO.

[Hector]

1-Gladiator
2-Dark Knight
3-Star Trek
4-Iron Man
5-Casino Royale

There's the top 5 anyway

I have four of your five flicks on my top dozen list...except for Iron-Man...I HATED the clunker and lame final fight...that's why it doesn't make my top 12 list.

[huedell]

Here's my own list in no particular order...
And not limited to Top "Ten"...

INGLORIOUS BASTERDS
MATCH POINT
TRAINING DAY
COLLATERAL
ADAPTATION
LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE
O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU
GHOST WORLD
LOST IN TRANSLATION
FINDING NEMO
ABOUT SCHMIDT
INSOMNIA

There are movies I know I'm forgetting that I liked a lot and there are movies
like SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, etc. that I intend to see
but that's my list for now.

[Brazoo]

I assume I'm forgetting tons of stuff! These are in no particular order, I don't even put these all on equal footing, but in their own genres these ones really stood out to me:

The Royal Tenenbaums
Amalie
Gozu
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Napoleon Dynamite
In Bruges
The Incredibles
JCVD
Kill Bill (vol. 1&2)
Kung Fu Hustle
Mulholland Dr.
No Country for Old Men
Sideways
Ong-Bak
There Will Be Blood
The Pianist
Crank
Requiem for a Dream
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
All or Nothing
Team America: World Police

Docs:
Capturing the Friedmans
Lost In La Mancha
Helvetica
The King of Kong
Startup.com
The Devil and Daniel Johnston

Actually this was a pretty interesting exercise - for one thing it made me realize how fantastic the 90s were. I kept having to drop movies after I double checked their date.

Who would have thought 10 years ago that the Coen Brothers would make 3 masterpieces and their 3 worst films in the same decade?

And one of my favorite film makers, Terry Gilliam only directed 2 movies and they both stunk! Though I did include the brilliant doc about his failed Don Quote movie.

Oh - you guys reminded me about these:
Ghost World
Adaptation
American Splendor
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Scorsese was pretty actually pretty consistent this decade. I really liked Departed and Aviator, most of Gangs of New York was fantastic, but some of it was terrible.

I didn't really like anything Spielberg did except for Catch Me If You Can.
