    • The Hurt Locker - on my top 10 of decade list, My Winnipeg - on my top 15 of decade list, Pan's Labyrinth, No Country for Old Men, and Waking Life - I'd want to fit all of those into my list somewhere as well.

      Overall I give his list a thumbs down (apropos?) but he got a few of them right.

    • Sigh. The drawbacks of living in a smallish community include the fact that half of these films never came within 200 miles of us. I thought his comment to the effect that it was somehow striking that women were at the center of so many of the films was a little unusual. Women have been overwhelmingly at the center of the novel (English language, anyway) since its inception as an art form for all sorts of reasons including the fact that many of the most renowned novelists simply found that female protagonists allowed them to explore a greater emotional range...which may be a gender stereotype...but it's one that has stood the proof of time...

      i feel your pain... i live in a smallish community myself, and most of these movies would probably be 'censored" (passed over) by the right wingers that run the theaters here.

      SAME! I live in buttfucking OKlahoma and we never get anything good here. Now showing "Cars" and "Delta Farce".... *hangs self*

      I only saw "My Winnipeg" because I took a trip to New York City in 2008 and it was really incredible. I recommend it to people all the time.

    • Makes me want to see The Hurt Locker even more now. Waking Life made my head hurt, and I HATED Adaptation. I wasn't a fan of Juno either, but I see why it's high on everyone's list. I love how he didn't forget Crash, that's EASILY one of my top films of the decade if I had to make a list, hell I wrote like 2 or 3 papers on that movie.

      Adaption was a good movie for about an hour. The last half seemed intentionally bad, i hated it. Waking Life is a movie you should watch in pieces cuz it will make your head hurt. Synecdoche, New York, and Primer are my favorite mind-bending, brain-melting movies.
