This list isn't what I think a film major or film history expert would say - it is more what I would take with me if I could only take 3 movies with me. However, I must be clear that the '00's were painful. I couldn't decide on anything. I just choked, really.
one thing I can say is that I think Apocalypto and United 93 were 2 of the best movies of the decade but I don't want to take those with me b/c Gibson is a doofus and United 93 was really tough.
Also, the 80's will probably drive some people nuts.

Would it be weird if I started a blog that only had responses to your blog posts?
I have been reminded I was wrong about the '00's.
Mystic River is dropping off, and The Dark Knight is #2.
similar to united 93, i'd submit Requiem For a Dream as the best movie i'll never watch again.
