I'll probably be shot down for this...but I thought Public Enemies was the best film I'd seen in a long time.

Re: Best Film Of The Decade ?
for me its dark knight hands down. nothing comes close. it maybe because its so recent in my memory but still. Its the only film i think iv seen in a long time that i cant pick a single fault.
storyline, cast, plot, acting, action, c.g.i and stunts all perfectly knitted together in one hell of a roolercoaster ride

A few of mine, although there are just too many to list or even think of at the moment.

Black Hawk Down
Sin City
Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Gladiator
The Dark Knight
Man On Fire
Taken
Watchmen
300
No Country For Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Boure (all of 'em)

Narrowing it down to 1 = major fail.

Can't pick one from the last 10 years... far too many and it depends what mood I am in, as to what order I rate a particular film.

Plus there are usually loads I completely forget about or simply haven't seen yet.

So in no order other than as and when I remember them, so newest ones probably near the top.

Moon
Star Trek 11
The Dark knight
(500) Days of summer
Lord of the rings trilogy EE
Serenity
The Incredibles
Quantum of solace
Spiderman 2
The Matrix (just squeezes in)
Bourne trilogy
300


Just to name a few... all of these I have watched numerous times and enjoy watching each time.
