What I don't get is how 17 skips to 6 and then back to 15.
Too much leather chair is unsightly and greatly increases your risk of leather-smell.

I didn't think it was that great, but I am surprised Crash isn't on this list. I would have liked to seen either Sideways or Thank You for Smoking on the list as well, especially if Zoolander is the type of comedy that beats out those two.

Dark Knight and Donnie Darko should be higher up, and Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Big Fish too, and that indian one which I can NEVER remember the name of, and The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas.

My contribution is to point out that the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is, in fact, three films.

Garden State is probably one of my favourite movie's of this decade as is Lost In Translation.
Reign Over Me was pretty awesome as well.

Maybe because its a typo? On my behalf?

Maybe the author of the list thought that the LOTR et al were so great they deserved to be included as one film. You'd have to ask the author that one..

I'd say Crank needs to be in there for sheer carnage and allround sillyness.

What I get from that list is "cool, I've seen the majority of good films this decade".

Delighted to see Eternal Sunshine so high up the list because it'd totally be my #1.

I agree with Million Dollar Baby on third, it's a bloody amazing movie :')
Inglorious Basterds should be on it, but my guess is that it's not there because it's too new.
The first two Harry Potter movies pretty deserved to be there, but the rest is meh.
Kudos for The Last King of Scotland.

If you can honestly say that Rambo is worse that Rambo 2 or 3, then there is something horribly wrong with you.

I'm saying First Blood and First Blood part 2 are better than Rambo.
