2. Spider-Man 2
3. Spider-Man 1

It's cajole's favorite too, and we all know he can't attend the hipster meetings with me.
Lists are stupid. Let's talk about important films instead.
Got to give credit to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, for bringing foreign - namely Asian - cinema into the mainstream. Pan's Labyrinth comes along and turns it into a revolution.
The Fellowship of the Ring, along with Harry Potter, revived fantasy as a viable genre.
The Ring brought Asian horror to American shores, and Saw created a bonafide subgenre.
Old School revives the R-rated comedy.
Danny Boyle and Zack Snyder reinvented the zombie genre.
Batman Begins is probably the most important film in terms of franchise blockbusters. It created a template that was used by James Bond, Star Trek, etc. If you need to reboot an old, tired series, this is your go-to film now.
Speaking of Bond, former-sissy boy Matt Damon reinvents the spy/action genre with a series of films about an amnesiac CIA assassin that cares.
Chicago revives the musical, but not really.
Shrek proves that successful computer animated films are not restricted to Pixar, the art form becomes the animated standard as a result.
Fake "indie" cinema exploded this decade (films produced by majors through their small labels and micro budgets), spearheaded by stuff like Brokeback Mountain.
Michael Moore, for better or worse, pushes documentaries into the mainstream.
Juno makes Diablo Cody into a star.
Fox inadvertently creates comic book adaptation gold rush with the release of X-Men.
Paul Haggis continues to trick people into giving him money.
Judd Apatow, having slowly sucked out all of the creative energy from John Hughes, succeeds in finally killing him.
:lol

300 brought gay action movies to a wide audience.
Micahel Moore only helped push documentaries. The other half was Morgan Spurlock.
I thought Scary Movie came out like in 1999 or something, though.
The Royal Tenenbaums basically created the template for hipster comedies: family full of idiosyncrasies which goes through stuff but comes together in the end. I don't think you get Little Miss Sunshine or Juno without it.
WHOA THERE BIG BOY
MGS4smh.
They make Pitchfork magazines? :o

I know that it's not as bleak as Requiem, but I have a hard time understanding people picking The Fountain over everyone's favorite addiction movie. Then again, there are people putting anime flicks on here, which is just plain wrong on so many levels. WEEABOOS.
Millennium Actress was very favorably received by critics, gaining a 94% "fresh" rating at RottenTomatoes.com.[1] Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan said of the film "as a rumination on the place movies have in our personal and collective subconscious, "Millennium Actress" fascinatingly goes where films have not often gone before".[2] Kevin M. Williams of the Chicago Tribune gave the movie 4 stars and put his feelings for the film this way: "A piece of cinematic art. It's modern day Japanese animation at its best... It's animated, but it's human and will touch the soul of anyone who has loved deeply".
I thought The Fountain was a better movie. Requiem is good but I liked The Fountain more, it was more interesting, I really liked Hugh Jackman in it, and of course the score is amazing. I doubt I'll watch Requiem again anytime soon

ASS TO ASS tho.

I think Requiem only rivals 1984 in films so depressing I will never watch again.

What about Dancer in the Dark? At least there's ass to ass in Requiem. Dancer just had death.
Calling 1984 bad is up there with your ludicrous review of Unforgiven. I think you have an aversion to cinema that doesn't spell everything out for you.
I vote for Charles Mingus' albums "mingus mingus mingus mingus mingus" and "pithecanthropus erectus". They're neither films nor of this decade, but they win the category anyway because they're just that awesome.
1984 is not good, and I don't think it's universally acclaimed so I'm certainly not the only person who hated it. It's very slow, and they take a book I found to be fascinating and turn it into a dry, boring slog.

Unlike Unforgiven, you will not be met with cries of blasphemy for saying you did not like 1984, but to call it a bad film is still pretty ridiculous.
