My Movies List

As many of you know, I love, love, love year end/decade end/century end/millennium end lists. I've been doing nothing but catching up on all of them from every source I can.

I'm working on lists of my own.

Movies I Loved This Decade:

Best of the Best - Movies I Would Watch Ad Naseum if I Owned Them:
Royal Tenenbaums (I do own it)
Garden State
O Brother, Where Art Thou
Almost Famous
Best In Show
Amelie (own it)
High Fidelity
Slumdog Millionaire
Wall - E
Winged Migration (but only because I have a big screen in my house)


The Rest - Movies Of The Last 10 Years that I Would Watch Right Now:
Darjeeling Limited
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Little Miss Sunshine
Good Night and Good Luck
Two Days In Paris
Aristocrats
Death To Smoochy
Step Up
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I Heart Huckabees
Spellbound
Stranger Than Fiction
Thank You For Smoking

"Best" Movies I Haven't Seen (movies on the lists that I haven't seen and why):
There Will Be Blood - blood...ewww
No Country For Old Men - I hear this one has killing and/or dying
Lord of the Rings - sci fi...yikes!
City of God - huh?
Moulin Rouge - seems Andrew Lloyd Webber-ish
Brokeback Mountain - just didn't get the time
Pan's Labyrinth - is this anime? That's what my brain thinks.
25th Hour - huh?
Memento - potentially disturbing
Mulholland Drive - potentially disturbing
Kill Bill - potentially disturbing
Spirited Away - potentially anime
The Departed - killing and/or dying
The Hurt Locker - killing and dying and war
Together - huh?
Casino Royale - was this on someone's list? Never seen a Bond movie...didn't want to start now...
Grizzly Man - possible death and/or mauling
The Bourne Movies - possible moments where I'd be too nervous
