Movies of the decade

I'm being cool and making my top twenty list. Sure, this might be the most biase list ever made. But this is a list I have put together, and I'm god damn proud of its potential!

20.The Wrestler-Mickey Rourke is by far an extrordinary character.. I'm actually quite angered that he got robbed for best actor for it. The story itself is also pretty neat, I've never seen the world of wrestling. And thats what a movie should do. Introduce you to a world you are unfamiliar with.

19.Requiem for a dream- Depressing as hell, well acted. Jared Leto is greaaat. And the storylines are all enjoyable in there own way. The only thing i disliked is the fact that the ending is so bleak that we don't really learn anything that we don't already know. But props to the writer and Aronofsky for making characters that we enjoyed at the begining. Even if they are drug addicts.

18.Dawn Of The Dead-I first seen the movie on pay per view at 1 a.m while i was home alone. After viewing(and not haven't watched a zombie movie before.) I was changed. I couldn't sleep, i kept thinking someone was gonna bust through my door and nibble on me. So I looked out the picture window at the cold empty street, for 3 hours before I passed out. Only a handful of movies can have that type of affect on people.

17.The Departed-Jack nicholson is fucking crazy. i love it. As for the random deaths, not really feeling all of it. It had so much potential, but I guess they did what they did. and the end result is good. The only thing that stuck with me was when Jack's character was talking to the two hookers..

16.Cloverfield-Yall can hate and debate but the movie is one of my favorites. I personally enjoy the fact that it was done with the shakey cam effect. It made me feel like I was in the situition personally. I often imagine I am stuck in a city with a giant (baby) monster and I'm looking for a place to hide, or for someone who I think would be in distress.

15.Wall-e I remember watching this with Jenise at her house on one of our movie days. I find this movie oh so touching, and oh so realistic to what will probably happen in the future. I gotta buy this movie damnit.

14.Finding Nemo-Fishes are funny. And heroic. And colorful. I watched this movie so many times I don't even have anything to say about it anymore. But it always brings a smile to my face.

13.Snatch- Guy ritchies best film. And one of my favorite comedy's. So many memorable moments and characters. I lvoe the fact that it all started because someone wanted a new Caravan. sometimes when i get drunk I like to talk like a pikey.

12.King Kong-The might king of the jungle. Made to fuck up T-Rex's and climb up skyscrapers. I think I like this movie so much jsut because of the amazing action set pieces. and Jack Black does a pretty good serious actor role in it.

11.Ratauille-A lovely movie. Something that I was pleasantly suprised by. I don't really have anything to add. Unfortunatly I've only seen it once.:(

10.City Of God-When I first seen it, I didn't expect very much. But everything about it was amazing. The characters, the way they intertwined, the fact that the movie is more about the actual city then about the people involved in the plot.(Think about it.)

9.Black Hawk Down- The only war movie that made me think about the harshness of war. It all looked and felt real. And at some point it was real. And the two snipers who went to protect the second chopper that went down were god damn heros.

8.The Dark Knight-This is what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force. I seen it twice in theaters. And several times on dvd and on the movie channels. Still that line never gets old. Along with everything else Heath ledger/Joke says.

7.V for Vendetta-I will always remember the 5th of November. The gunpower the treason the plot. I bought this movie, the day it came out. I will watch it every 5th of November until I see that its theme becomes irrelevant...

6.District 9-Fooking fook, what a good fooking movie. Since its release I've seen it 5-6 times. Each time I grow more and more attached. I'm glad that vfs made it too. Gives a nice glimmer of hope for the young minds in this school.

5.Crash- I didn't expect it to be anything amazing when I first bought it for 5$ at a CDPLUS. But oh man, racism at its finest. Racist people become good hearted samaritines(sp?) and people who weren't racist conform to there inner demon. and somebody hits a chinamen.

4.Cowboy Bebop the movie-It is my favorite animated feature for two reasons. You have a god like antagonists, and a uber badass protagonist. And it is jsut so amazing how these two characters reflect each other in so many ways. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in sci fi, anime, or great story telling.

3.Pans Labyrinth-Fairy tales with sad endings are my favorite kind. And I must say, they built up one of the finest antagonists around. This movie will be one of those rare gems that will be remembered until the next coming of christ.

2.Return of the king-Epic movie making, everyone already knows why this movie is here... So yea, I loved it. First movie I seen by myself in the theaters. i will always remember it.

1.No Country For Old Men- I called it, I've been calling it all my life. No country is a movie which at first I didn't completely understand. It took several viewings, each one I'd enjoy it even more. The main reason it is on the top of the list is because the characters are so influental to my own writing. And the setting, and the dialogue, and cinematography.
