Comments on: Decade’s Movies http://www.wearethehollowmen.com/2010/01/decades-movies/ :::this is the way the world ends::: Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:30:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Ned http://www.wearethehollowmen.com/2010/01/decades-movies/comment-page-1/#comment-9208 Ned Mon, 11 Jan 2010 17:58:13 +0000 http://www.wearethehollowmen.com/2010/01/decades-movies/#comment-9208 I think that a list from 0 - 9 would be odd since you can't have a number 0. Therefore, 1-10 offers a numerical sequence that includes all of our numerical digits and therefore feels more complete than 1-7 or less arbitrary than 1-13. That's my input on the ten lists trend. Here's my input on the movies. 1) Wit (One of my all time favorites) 2) Whale Rider 3) Winged Migration* 4) The Wolf That Saved America* 5) Taxi to the Dark Side* 6) The Triplets of Belville 7) Harry Potter and the Prisnoer of Azkaban 8) Water 9) Children of Men 10) The Class 11) Kandhar 12) Gone Baby Gone 13) Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 14) A Very Long Engagement 15) LOTR * Designates Documentary Runners Up: Slumdog Millionaire Tsotsi The Visitor The Constant Gardener Rendition Lord of War Inside Man Osama (This film is one of the most disturbing I've ever seen). Eternal Sunshine Etc. Memento Men With Guns (not actually sure when this John Sayles film came out). The Dinner Guest The Boxer I think that a list from 0 – 9 would be odd since you can’t have a number 0.

Of course, I suggest enlisting brevity otherwise it seems...a little watered down. ;) I made no rules, you can have as many favorites as you want!

Almost too big and broad to wrap my thoughts around. here are some movies in not particular order I have been impacted by in the last decade: 1. Paradise Now. 2. Amelie 3. There will be Blood 4LOTR Trilogy 5. Memento 6Wallace and Grommit and the Curse of the Ware-Rabbit 7The Dark Knight 8Casino Royale 9Children of Men 10 Royal Tenenbaums 10oh Brother Where Art Thou? 10 Gladiator 10 Incredibles 10 Million Dollar Baby 10 Pan's Labyrinth 10 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind 10Cast Away 10The Prestige 10 Kill Bill vol's 1 and 2 10Borat 10 The Prestige There, as you can see, I have found a way to stay somewhat within your "rules". There are of course, many others. Many were probably most influenced by the company I was in when I saw them. Of course, if this were the soul factor, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Chrystal Skull would have been one of the best. Take them for what they are. This is crazy-making, Toby.
