Ozcards best film of the decade 2000-2009

[Allstar cards inc]

I love these little debates...I know there's still a little bit left of 2009...but I figured we could start the conversation now and if anything startling pops up we can add it in later.

I thought the best place to start might be the list of Best Picture nominees and winners from the Academy Awards....the pics may not be everyone's cup of tea but they are generally a good starting off point.

Chocolat
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Erin Brockovich
Traffic

Gosford Park
In the Bedroom
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

I've come up with my personal shortlist (in no particular order) -

Lost in Translation
Juno
There will be Blood
No Country for Old Men (2007 was a GOOD year!!)

This list is by no means definitive and there are some excellent flims not included such as The Prestige and Into the Wild.....not to mention comedies like Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Hangover.

Inglourious Basterds. 24 Hours before I see Inglourious Basterds for the first time, I'm confident that the movie of the decade is in fact, Inglourious Basterds.

let the right one in, no country for old men, children of men, v for vendetta, sin city, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, finding nemo, oldboy, amelie, spirited away, snatch, memento, requiem for a dream, LOTR trilogy.....

i dont know why but i like chick flicks!! marley and me, city of angels (i was a blink away from crying..i nearly cried in Terminator 2 though when arnie went into the lava), the lake house....slobby's quite partial to the chick flick!!! Transformers 1 & 2 are up there but Road To Perdition makes me wanna go out and take revenge on pretty much everybody, office space cracked me up when they beat the sh!t out of the photocopier...and all Marvel movies are SICK!
