Ok, so I managed to finish one "End of the Decade" picspam. Here are my favorite movies of the decade! This list is definitely weighted towards movies from 2007-2009 since I saw them more recently, and I saw way more movies in those years than in 2000-2003ish (I was only 11-14 during those years, so I mostly saw a bunch of crappy movies like XXX and The New Guy and such). Also, the rankings aren't really exact; I mean, I definitely enjoy the movies ranked 1-5 more than the ones in the honorable mentions, but everything in between just kind of depends on what mood I'm in and if I was able to easily find screencaps (Catch Me If You Can would probably be around 20-25 if I had been able to find decent screencaps, but alas, I could not). ...so yeah, anyways! Here we go!

Awesome list! This must have taken you awhile. I tried to compose one, but I couldn't remember every film I loved in this decade. This one included a lot of them though.

Thanks! Yeah, it did take me ages. I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks! It took me a long time to figure out how to set this up, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

I think No Country For Old Men is amazing, but I do know a few people who didn't enjoy it. I hope you like it!

i love seeing the diving bell and the butterfly so high. that movie is gorgeous, and the story so inspiring.

all these movies that i've seen i love, and all the ones i haven't i would love to see.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/brokenrecord__/ 2010-01-03 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
That movie really is truly beautiful. I wish I had been able to find good screencaps of it (I could only find stills) because I really wanted to show off how gorgeous it is. The movie really blew me away.

Anyways, I'm glad you liked so many of the movies on the list, and I (obviously) definitely recommend any you haven't seen!
