Best films of the past decade

Ask anybody who knows me and they'll tell you I'm a sucker for lists that rank things. Love reading them, love making them. So it's only fitting that, with the turn of a new year and a new decade, I get a little self indulgent and commit to pixel my rankings for the greatest flicks of the past 10 clicks. Print this out and use it to line the bottom of your birdcage, if you will, but here goes:

I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two worthy mentions here, but that pretty much sums up the creme de la creme in film for me in the 2000s (or are they more appropriately called "the oughts"? Whatever.). Feel free to post comments to this post with your top favorites of the last decade. And happy New Year!
