Pretty tricky this, but what are your ten favourite films of the decade just past? Here's my attempt, there's some great ones I had to leave out No Country for Old Men Amelie Garden State Dead Man's Shoes Lost in Translation 28 Days Later Kill Bill Part 1 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Donnie Darko Team America: World Police
That's a good list there. The Lord of the Rings films would have to be in there for me, as would The Dark Knight and the new Star Trek film. Revenge of the Sith was also a return to form for the Star Wars films, even though the acting, with the exception of Ian McDiarmid, was pretty dire....
Team America world police? I tried watching that but couldn't get through the first five minutes. Should I go back and try to finish it?
I liked it at the time first time through, but I'm not a big fan, but I don't really like South Park now, I guess if you like SP your more likely to dig Team America.
Oh I love it and can watch it again and again. I love Parker and Stone's mastery of language and cinematic form, and the intelligence of the humour underlying this film. There's an incredibly incisive satirical mind at work behind the apparently childish humour. Very easy to just see it as a stupid comedy but that would be to overlook so much. Oh and much, much more highly crafted than most episodes of South Park, though "South Park: The Movie" matches it for wit and satirical brilliance and was one of the best films of the 90s. Quite apart from one of the best films of the last decade I'd say this is easily one of the best films ever made...
I understand it's point but I still find the way it's executed a bit too much for me to watch over and over. South Park episodes I find a bit hit and miss now, I usually watch half and then move on during the advert break.
Well it's a list of my favourite ten, so Requiem for a Dream wouldn't be on it What are your top ten?
Gran Torino No Country For Old Men Gladiator (The first classic of the 2000's) Garden State The Dark Knight Shaun Of The Dead Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind List could go on forever... lol
