decade's best.

What are the point of finishing a decade without making the decade's best list and yes the decade ended last year but it isn't fun to do it when it's only yesterday. Of course, my passion lies in cinema. So, decade's best movies? Obviously, my list had to include movies that were ignored by the commoners (those who rejected my offer to watch (500) Days of Summer with me won't rejoice when the movie is deemed one of the best romance movies ever, even when it claimed not to be a romance film).

in reverse alphabetical order; some of the latter alphabets deserve to be on the top once in a while :)

And yes the list grows longer as I grow older, it's just that I watch more movies as I grow. And yes, 2009 is year of the road trip movies. So, there goes and I'm off celebrating the arrival of 2011 with better things.
