Top 100 Movies Of The Decade

I was practically dared into attempting this, and though I think I could mess with the order for as long as I keep it open on my computer, I’m fairly happy with the results.

Obviously there are a lot of movies that I’m certain would have made this list if I’d gotten around to seeing them yet (I almost put City of God on here based solely on people telling me how much I will like it). I’m sure I forgot some stuff too, and no matter how much I tried I couldn’t quite get anything to knock The Matrix Reloaded out of the 100 spot, which I’m sure I’ll get some flack for (sorry, at the end of the day I just didn’t like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that much).

Anyway, enough blathering. Would love to read other people’s lists if anyone else is bored/dumb enough to undertake this project…
