    Bill Gibron's The 10 Best Films of the Decade (2000 - 2009)

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Bill Gibron is a writer and film critic for popmatters. He wrote the 10 best films of decade in the end of 2009. Here his about that description for the list: Talk about tough! Even if this wasn’t a full time job, taking up as much of one’s life as any career plus concept of entertainment could, trying to pick out ten titles from an equal number of years is almost impossible. It’s not like television, which tends to keep its beloved entities on the air long enough to make a memorable impact. It’s also not like music, which can play in the background of one’s life sometimes decades after release. No, movies demand attention. They require patience and perspective. They are the most unique of artforms because they come at you complete. You can love a particular band or album even with one or two clunkers among the set list. No TV show is ever going to be 100% funny/dramatic/thrilling/thought-provoking all the time. But film doesn’t dignify such flaws. Instead, it amplifies them, destroying brilliant direction, excellent acting, or superb storytelling along the way. Naturally, this creates a kind of cinematic standard, a benchmark by which we measure both the good and the bad. And yet, going back over the near 3500 entries for possible inclusion here (figure it out - that’s 350 per year, or almost one a day for the last decade…and yes, I did watch each and every one, be they theatrical or on DVD) is still a mammoth undertaking, one that gears itself noticeably toward the most recent viewing experiences. Indeed, a lot of lists out there currently offer pickings from 2007 - 2009 almost exclusively, making you wonder if these so called experts even saw anything prior to the second Bush Administration. Add in the almost infinite and exhaustive “honorable mentions” and you’ve got a pointless combination of limited perspective and bet hedging. Don’t worry - this list won’t be any better. As a matter of fact, one can probably pick it apart point-by-point and argue over the merits of each selection. Still, as a function of one person’s own individual likes and dislikes, as a Herculean attempt to take one’s passion and profession and summarize it in several hundred words or less, it’s the way things stand…today…at this moment…without too much internal kvetching. Could it all change tomorrow? Probably. Are some of these choices set in cement, almost inarguable in their inclusion? Yes. So grab your cinematic salt (you’ll need it to take most of what you’ll read next) and settle in for SE&L"s Top 10 Films of the Decade (2000 - 2009), starting with a very unusual selection in the final spot:

    Favs/dislikes: 3:0. With this list I hope to accomplish two things: 1 – generate debate amoung movie fans about what I included, overlooked, or how I ranked ’em… what would you choose? 2 – movie fans can use this list as a rental guide… start at the top and watch your way down! Most of the movies on this list are award winners, some were box office winners, and some just standout for me from the hundreds of movies released from 2000-2009….

    Entertainment Weekly: The 20 Best Movies of 2016

    Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Among Entertainment Weekly's best movies of the year, you'll find heartbreakingly personal dramas, a superhero movie or two, a bittersweet ode to Hollywood, and an allegory for modern relationships that features a man potentially being turned in a crustacean. These are original, honest, and thrilling films that tap into what connects us and take audiences to places they could only conjure up in their dreams (or nightmares). This year was not good for many things, but it was excellent for movies. Anyone who says otherwise isn't looking hard enough.
