I think I would rate that film one of the best for me, even though I had a really hard time sitting through it because the Officer really scared me. :o

Juno is the only one I watched and even so much as heard of.

i see this one on a lot of top ten lists. i just don't get it.

it's probably the least depressing german film of the decade but that's like the most intelligent timm post or least funny pants.

In my opinion, it had one of the best endings in a movie.

I really don't go to or watch a lot of movies, but I really thought that The Wrestler was excellent.

I don't have time to do my top ten list right now but gotta say... The Hurt Locker was the absolutely the best film I saw this year. :tro:

Gran Torino is near the top of my list for sure

Watchmen was good. So was 7 pounds.

Superbad was really funny.

5 stars in my Netflx movies I've rated:

Gladiator
Fellowship of the Ring

Pan's Labyrinth
Wedding Crashers

4 stars:

American Gangster
Batman Begins
Best in Show

City of God
Dark Knight
The Departed
Downfall
Memento
Napolean Dynamite
The Patriot

OK, so that is a hell of a lot more than 10. So I'll take a stand and say every movie I didn't mention from this decade sucked. :)

Totally agree. Thought it was utterly mediocre. 'The Conversation' did it better 25 years earlier.
