50 Greatest Films of the decade (2000-2009)
November 8th 2009 22:13
Subjective vs. Objective is an important distinction when creating lists. This is why I have many lists that are favorite and greatest. Some films or what have you obviously wind up on both lists but the order varies from each. Here is my Greatest Films of the past decade which will be followed by my favorite.

There were a couple in there I didn't enjoy so much and I would change the order of a few but hey its your list and it seems we share similar cinematic tendencies.
I will have to go away and think of my own top 10 from the last decade.....so your going from the new millennium on, instead of starting in 1999 right?

I love that the film experience is affected by when he first saw the movie, the state of mind we were in, whether we've given the movie repeated viewings ... My favourites also are movies that I get different things from each time I view it. I'm sure you're the same. All cinephiles swear by movies as keeping us sane.
