I've never seen Donnie Darko, it is always almost over when I click on the channel guide.

[Tripper Harrison]

Was the Tom Hanks movie on the island this decade?

[Mo T]

Agree on Donnie Darko.

[PlannedSickDays]

united 93 probably deserves honorable mention, along with No Country...

[PlannedSickDays]

castaway? early 2000's

[Mo T]

Lord of the Rings movies were pretty good. Maybe a Spiderman, or Batman movie

[PlannedSickDays]

Lord of the Rings movies were pretty good. Maybe a Spiderman, or Batman movie

good point. I've never seen any of the spiderman movies or care for the superhero genre. The Dark Knight however should be on my list. Perhaps take out Slumdog and put in the Dark Knight.

[PlannedSickDays]

IFC had both Kill Bill's on last night and I watched all 4 hours. If I did a top 20 they would be 15-16ish.

[Verbal]

The Monster's Ball
The Departed
Mystic River

Edit: The Dark Knight should be in here. Bump whichever one you'd like out.

[OlePeep]

Sorry, but LOL @ "There Will Be Blood". It is tops, however, on my Top 10 Most Overhyped Movies of All Time.

The only thing I remember about Moster's Ball was Halle Berry getting the meat auger from Billy Bob Thornton.

There is some kind of strange theme to your list. Maybe some sort of Gay-but-in-an-ancient-Greek way.

[PlannedSickDays]

look, there is no right or wrong answer here, we all just killing time. You can't lol at someone's list without providing a list of your own. My rules.

Waltz with Bashir
Pan's Labyrinth

you should watch the spiderman movies, they are very good. even if you don't like superheroes, just watch it for the action.

That's fair. I don't have a list at my disposal, though.

I'd probably add Gangs of New York, and FOTR

I saw a helluva movie this year, The Hurt Locker.

Gotta give "Catch Me if You Can" a shot, as well.

The Incredibles and Rattatouille were fantastic

I agree w/ whoever had Almost Famous, too.

what do you got?

Not bad. I'd probably take out Into the Wild, Jesse James, There Will be Blood, and City of God (because I haven't seen it), and put in No Country, Mystic River, The Incredibles, and In the Valley of Elah.

[StinkyMcFadden]

What if none of those movies came with a free sandwich? Then what would you do?

[StinkyMcFadden]

That's what I thought, Monster.

You'd just watch the movie and pretend it made an impact on you. Maybe it was positive and maybe it was negative, but like a muttering old man, you'd let everyone know that you ironed your pants.

[MickerHawk]

LOTR trilogy
Oh Brother
Madagascar
Dark Knight

i would like to see your 10 mr lime

I won't be making one. I'm not going to pretend that I can narrow the decade down that much given that I was a teenager with a HS taste in movies ten yrs ago.

I'll give you my bottom three though.

Envy
300
The Beach

[Iza]

I thought The Beach was really underrated, Lime. I didn't like the part where his surreal experience was provided in video game format, but I thought the story and acting were strong.

So, you don't want to post a list and get made fun of, is that it?

No, I'm not a fan of decade lists for art. I'm not at all concerned about the opinions of this board when it comes to movies.

You haven't read the book then.

So WhyTF are you participating in the thread?

[Santa Anna's Leg]

Non critical faves:

.....
No Country for Old Men
.....

?? Not many movies are more critically favored than that one.

[ivan_drago]

I've only walked out of a few movies in theatres.

Sideways was one. I absolutely hated it.

[Slyhawk]

I was referring to the list overall. I realize it was a a well received movie, as was Million Dollar Baby and Road to Perdition, iirc.

[Slyhawk]

Yep.

[Pseudonym]

United 93 is one of the most haunting, sickening movies I've ever seen. Its a shame that it seems so few people have seen it.

I forgot about Open Range, that was a terrific movie. Actually, I like all of your pics except for Joe Dirt, and I've never seen Old School.

How many movies do you guys see in a theater in a given year? I think I'm under 10 in the decade.

[ivan_drago]

How many movies do you guys see in a theater in a given year? I think I'm under 10 in the decade.

In a year? 10 or so, probably. Never more than once a month, I guess.

My dad hasn't seen a movie at a theatre since he took me to the first Jurassic Park.

[MickerHawk]

I don't watch them in a theater, period.

It's not worth the hassle, and I think I have better movie experience at home. I'm not quite a Zaph when it comes to anger at adults bringing kids to inappropriate movies, but I'm close.

[Mo T]

Another I really enjoyed

A Beautiful Mind

You might consider making an exception for Avatar. I can't imagine replicating that experience in a home theater.

[Pseudonym]

1-3 a year. Whomever thought it was a bright idea to make one of the loudest foods to eat(popcorn) the food of choice in a movie theater needs to be shot.

[MickerHawk]

Hmm. I'll consider that.

[Mo T]

I've also heard that if you have a chance to see Avatar in 3D, it's much worth the added money to do it.

[boneshawk]

I saw it at the theatre will jr. Twas weeping like a titty baby near the end.

I have to say, I love going to the movies. I definitely don't like going when it's crowded, though. A few hours to shut out the world is very nice.

[OlePeep]

Road to Perdition definitely belongs. One of the most beautifully shot films ever. Zodiac is underrated, as well.

Yep, sticky floors, annoying teenagers with cell phones, babies crying, the guy who laughs out loud for 10 seconds after the funny part, the $5 drinks. It's fantastic
