My Top Ten Movies of the Decade

So many to choose from, but ultimately, rather than trying to pinpoint the criteria for what made the "best" movies of the decade, I simply went with my personal faves--cinema experiences that I will never forget. 2000-2009:

1. Lord of the Rings
2. Master and Commander
3. Sideways
4. Gladiator
5. A.I: Artificial Intelligence
6. Spider-Man 2
7. There Will Be Blood
8. Casino Royale
9. Avatar 3D
10. The Bourne Ultimatum

And a few other special titles that didn't quite make the cut:

King Kong
Donnie Darko
Brokeback Mountain
Catch Me If You Can
Cast Away
Up

Here's looking forward to a great moviegoing 2010!
