What Was The Best Movie of The Decade?

Was it Glitter? Gigli?

No, let's stay away from the 'G' films.

Instead, I'll toss out some of the decade's Best Picture Oscar winners, just as possible selections to crown from:

The Lord of the Rings trilogy?

Million Dollar Baby?

Chicago?

No Country For Old Men?

Slumdog Millionaire?

Still nothing worthy of best-in-decade? All right, how about some Best Picture nominees that didn't actually cop the big prize:

Brokeback Mountain?

Lost in Translation?

The Hours?

The Pianist?

Sideways?

Babel?

Hello? I hear deafening silence, people! How about this year's classics, the ones duly headed toward Oscar glory in 2010?

Precious? The Fantastic Mr. Fox? The Hurt Locker? Up?

And let's bring on the foreign films:

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Volver? Y Tu Mama Tambien?

STILL no fucking winner?

All right, then, Glitter? Gigli?

Glitter was better than Gigli. At least it had a few laffs.

No fair to put the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy. The best of the three was the third one, so I'll go with that in a tie with "Babel" and "Amores Perros"

Hot Fuzz!

It has everything.

Seriously though There Will Be Blood is fantastic but still I love Hot Fuzz with every fire of my being.

I also love City of God, Amelie, Gomorrah, The Dark Knight, Pan's Labyrinth, and The Royal Tenenbaums.

You cannot rip the movies of this decade.

From what I've seen over the last ten years, here is how I'd rank them:

1.) United 93 (NOT 'Flight 93')
2.) King of Kong (documentary)
3.) American Splendor
4.) Y Tu Mama Tambien
5.) Sideways
6.) Slumdog Millionaire
7.) Jesus Camp (one scary ass documentary)
8.) Grizzly Man (documentary)
9.) City of God
10.) No Country For Old Men
11.) There Will Be Blood
12.) Sugar
13.) The Wrestler

CMG says:

That is true, still lots of movies coming out. I haven't seen The Hurt Locker but for some reason thinking about that makes me want to include District 9 which blows all of the overrated sci-fi of this past decade out of the water, not to mention more bang for your buck budget-wise.

"Brokeback Mountain."

Like "Lolita" before it, a fiercely true love story.

Hands down, no other option, "Brokeback Mountain" -- a classic for the ages.

Barkley says:

I thought "Brokeback" was a bore and I the main characters weren't sympathetic and mumbled all their lines. All the ones mentioned are sucky except "The Pianist". Movies have sucked since the 90s.

Actually, there was a little sleeper movie I found fascinating,

Blindness starring Julianna Moore. I really liked that film.

sideways is the only one I loved- and thats mostly cos i to am a failed writer- general all around loser- -

Brokeback Mountain.

It was a cultural phenom, it won umpteen million awards (all but the Oscar, though who cares about that, look at their inferior winners list thru the years), is relevant, and was artfully done and moving. Heath Ledger was incredible, as the NY Times said, as good as anything ever done by Brando or Sean Penn. For the record, I'm not gay, people should try to see past that and appreciate this movie for the artistic triumph it is.
