A decade is as arbitrary as any period of time, and yet I like the idea of these lists. It gives us an opportunity to really single out some great movies before they have to battle there predecessors for canon status. So the staff at The Videodrome has put together a shelf of what WE thought were the best films of the decade. Here's what you can find there, in alphabetical order:

• BEST IN SHOW
• THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED
• BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOUR DEAD
• CACHE
• THE CASE OF THE GRINNING CAT
• CITY OF GOD
• DOGTOWN AND THE Z BOYS
• DOGVILLE
• ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND
• GERRY
• GRIZZLY MAN
• A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE
• IN AMERICA
• IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE
• KILL BILL VOL. 1 & 2
• MAN ON WIRE
• THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE
• NINE LIVES
• NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
• OLD BOY
• PAN'S LABYRINTH
• THE PIANO TEACHER
• SILENT LIGHT
• SPIRITED AWAY
• THERE WILL BE BLOOD
• THE WAYWARD CLOUD
• ZATOICHI: THE BLIND SWORDSMAN

And our special award for T.V. Series of the Decade (in possiby the best decade Television has ever had): THE WIRE

I may come back and add some thoughts on a few of the choices. In the meantime, enjoy! See a glaring omission? By joining the facebook group you can contribute your own favorites from the past ten years, and participate in other movie discussions.
