The challenge is harder when you rank just 25 titles, like the TS asked. That would show your ultimate 25 favorite films.

There were a lot films that I wanted to see, especially in the last two years, that I never got to. Most of them would probably be on this list, but since I haven’s seen them, I shan’t put them on. It was also too difficult to pick just twenty-five...

Aw man, the one time I jump to a conclusion on a thread and it comes back to bite me in the butt (I usually read the first post in threads very carefully. I blame the Christmas cookies for this slip-up). I've gone back and edited my post to follow PixarFan's guidelines.

My new number one movie of this decade has just blown me away for the third time. The movie is Avatar, James Cameron's return to the big screen with a movie that is flawless in every way. The bar has now been raised to an almost unsurmountable high for CGI movies of the future. Those of you who haven't seen this film are truly missing the best movie of the past 10 years. Hip, hip Hooray!!!! to James Cameron and his great movie "Avatar".

:D
The only way to watch movies - Original Aspect Ratio!!!!
I LOVE my Blu-Ray Disc Player!

I've ranked my top 50 movies from this decade. I started working on this today, so I've hardly given it all the thought and reflection that it's due. For that reason, and because I haven't even seen all of the 2009 movies I want to see yet, I note that this is a tentative list.

Don't sweat it! I didn't mean it that way. :wink:

I just meant to say reading a top 25 is more interesting than just listing all the films you've seen this decade --as some people in this thread obviously have done. :P
