Are Minority Report and Munich really about to get shafted? Damn. Same with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. One of the defining films of the decade, probably the best reviewed film of the decade (or at least top ten), and the highest grossing foreign film of its time. But nope, not good enough for MAR.

Masterwork, and has a strong case for being the best of the trilogy. I still personally prefer Sunrise, though.

So The Incredibles is the Pixar's top film of the decade? fine by me. We've already had The Incredibles at #46.

Man, I was hoping Jesse James would crack the top 10, but that's still a fine finish for a film that's criminally underrated elsewhere.

One of the few modern movies that can wear the label of "Shakespearean tragedy" without a hint of irony. Masterful stuff, with one of the greatest endings ever. Wish Sympathy for Lady Vengeance would've ranked as well.

The Departed will always be one of the most purely entertaining crime films ever made. Yeah it's not really about anything, but it's just so damn fun to see Marty and Thelma (and Michael) in absolutely top form.
