Your Top 10 Films Of The Decade 2000-2009

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I can totally agree with you.

And I'm another Tolkien geek that compared the Fillum with Teh Booke and saw what they did and what they had to Give Up and all...

It was a bitch of a job and they did a bloody GOOD job considered.

Hail Jackson.

IZ.
same here. I would have liked if they had just ignored more parts. for example just not shoot a Tom bombadil scene but don't chainge all the stuff around it. a fan of the books would know what happend and others wouldn't even notice something was missing. (it works in my mind :wink: )

as for a personal top 10 :eek:

-Lotr.
-24hpp
-control
-21 gram
-Pan's labyrinth
-The Dark knight
-The matrix (erase 2 and 3 from my brain please :urff: )
-Watchmen ;D
-Kill Bill 1
-magnolia

Aye... I couldn't come up with ten because I watch shockingly few movies (keep resolving to change this, but I cannot follow a plot to save myself) but I think that would be number one. At least the first half of it, it runs out of steam a wee bit towards the end.

Off the top off my head the only film I can recall watching over and over again recently is Walk the Line - thought Reece whatserface was spellbinding in it.


I will endeavour to think of 9 other filums

Quite impressing was the Cremaster Cycle by Matthew Barney.

Cremaster 3 (2002) accompanied an exhibition of the artist at the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, together with the other four films of the cycle ...

A few years later followed Drawing Restraint 9 (2006) ...

Furthermore, I really enjoyed this documentary on Jacques Derrida ...

I've seen so many films (that's gonna change now, right :wink: ) that it's only natural I forget about most of them...

But these really stuck in my mind and most of them I've seen again & again & again:

The Life Aquatic
Sin City
Lost in Translation
Ghost Dog
Gegen Die Wand
Control
24hr Party People
La Vie Des Autres
Children of Men
Walk The Line

And I very much liked the LotR trilogy too, but I ain't no Tolkien geek :wink:

yup. Lost in tranlsation was a good movie i forgot about that.
i would also add Le scaphandre et le papillon ( Diving Bell And the Butterfly).

and LoTR trilogy was a boring, very boring, extremly boring piece of nothing not even cloes good as books. and i'm not gonna mention about Shytrix.

yes :wink: but maybe it is an acquired taste, it does not have the typical storyline, it is dark and it hasn't got any woman in fetishdresses running around.
it does have creatures with eyes on the wrong places but that just is Del Toro :lol:
