The first 10 years of the 20th Century

Not only can you not count a decade correctly you aren't too great at centuries either!

The only one on this top 10 list that I actually liked (and saw) is Gladiator. I lose track of time, and can’t think of which movies were definitely in this decade. I like some of the movies in the honorable mention list. I know comedies rarely if ever get any respect, but my wife and I really enjoy Will Farrell comedies. Anchorman and Talledega Nights are both very funny. I also liked American Gangster. I like Scorcese but I didn’t like The Departed at all. I thought Superbad was super BAD. How about Napoleon Dynamite? That is funny and quite original. I didn’t like any of the Spiderman, Batman, Lord of the Rings or Pirates movies.

The decade doesn’t technically end til 2010 is over. Did this list count 2000 as the last decade or this one? If it is counted as this one, Oh Brother Where Art thou should be on the list.

1, 2, and 3 I agree with, but maybe not in those slots. The others...eh not so much. A few I haven’t even heard of.

Little Miss Sunshine was a tedious, very predictable, unfunny bore of a movie without a single redeeming element. It was a waste of Alan Arkin's considerable talent but I guess he needed a payday.

It was simply awful, IMHO

Without a doubt the best foreign film:

Sophie Scholl: The Final Days

Trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjE020YHPkE

True story - Sophie Scholl was executed by guillotine by the Third Reich after she was arrested and found guilty of distributing anti-Nazi leaflets at her college campus and for this she was beheaded along with several of the other brave young God-fearing people of the “White Rose”, an underground “TEA PARTY” like movement.

This is brilliant stuff. The tension becomes almost unbearable.

LOL - Since the correct span of years doesn't matter I'm choosing A Walk In The Clouds (1995), only because it featured Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, a truly beautiful woman.

There were better movies in 1993 alone (Schindler’s List, The Fugitive, and Groundhog Day) than in 2000-2009 in toto. Hollyweird has gone off the deep end.

P.S. I did mostly like Little Miss Sunshine.

I can proudly state that of the “top 10,” I only saw the Incredibles. The others, I either never heard of or had no desire to see.

Don’t worry about the “hall monitors” telling you “this decade” doesn’t end for another year. “This decade” is WHATEVER 10 YEAR PERIOD YOU WANT IT TO BE. If you want to have a list of the Top 10 films of this decade, then you are obviously talking about the last 10 years. You could do this in a year that ends with any number, such as 2015. When people are talking about a decade such as the 20s, 30s, etc., 99.999% of them include the year that ends with a zero as the first year of that decade. Thus the 90s started with 1990.
