I love acting, screenwriting, editing, anything film. Plain and simple. To close out the decade, I've committed to making a top ten list of those films that stood out in my mind as classics--the best of the best. There may be better films as defined by the critics, but these are the ones that did it for me.
Would it be cheating if I woke up tomorrow desperately needing to make changes?
I would love to see your top ten; so, get them posted and let's chat about the magic of the screen; let's discuss the power of the medium; hell, let's make a movie of our own. Call me.
1. Pan's Labyrinth (2006)
2. Garden State (2004)
3. Wonder Boys (2000)
4. 500 Days of Summer (2009)
5. Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)
6. Into the Wild (2007)

wow, surprised at that list. i can't believe Into the Wild is not in the top ten. pan's was ok, but there are many on your second list better. lost in t was one of the most overrated films of the decade, up there with spotless mind. imho.
The second list is not in any order. Into the Wild almost cracked the Top Ten. Almost.
This was hard to do!
