thought there would be a thread on this already but couldn't find one.

i watched the lives of others today and thought it would qualify. also, children of men comes to mind. what others would you put up there?

I've watched 2 films from the 2000s the whole way through, Donnie Darko and Ratatouille. I enjoyed them both.

There have been a ton of great movies this decade, I wouldn't even know where to start.

Glad to see the Devil's Rejects already being mentioned though, that would definitely be in there.

Yeah. The 10 I gave the movie probably has more to do with the book than the movie itself. But Dick and Barry are 2 of my favourite fictional characters ever, and as far as I'm concerned those scenes between Rob, Dick and Barry at the record store more than compensate for some of the other lesser scenes.

Slept through each and every one of them. Fantasy just isn't my thing. Except when it's from Miyazaki.

I remember being awake for the end of the first one, not really knowing anything about the book and all that, and thinking, wait, what the fuck just happened, that's supposed to be an ending?
