it's impossible to say which is superior to the other. All are excellent, some are groundbreaking; they come from many different countries, many cultures.

27 films, I think, and what a great decade they prove. I imagine I forgot quite a few along the way, as well.

Agreed, impossible to trim it down to 10 great films for the past decade... - Tony D. 07:09:44 12/11/09 (0)
unless one counts only Hollywood movies and then it could probably be trimmed down to 5.

I haven't seen any of those movies - Brian A 17:13:09 12/10/09 (0)
I did see "Let the right one in," but not "Let the right on in." Didn't know you were such a fan of Republicans.

I'm surprise you don't have the fine flick "Planet Terror" in your list. In one of the final scenes where Cherry pulls back her blanket to expose a massive Gatling gun for a leg and blows away a mutant I just about peed on myself.

We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
Great list..but... - Harmonia 16:26:44 12/10/09 (3)
...on my DVD box of The Wind Will Carry Us it is listed as a 1999 release.

It's still a great film from a master.
- Netflix has it listed as 2000. Anyhow, sub "Ten" or "ABC Africa" - tinear 16:31:23 12/10/09 (2)
  and the amazing Kiarastomi quality is the same!

    I believe it was a submission for 1999 Academy Award consideration.
    
    With all the nchatter about Iranian politics some marvelous filmmaking from that country gets overlooked. A Taste Of Cherry is one of my favorite films of all time - Kiarostami is a living treasure.
    - Yup, "Taste of Cherry" is a classic, perhaps Abbas's best, alongside "Wind?" From many lists, I notice, - tinear 17:54:37 12/10/09 (0)
      somewhat sadly, that many foreign directors, especially from places like China, Thailand, Brazil, Mexico, and Denmark are ignored. Sure, Germany, England, and France have talented directors but certainly, the past decade especially, they've been overtaken and surpassed by others.
      One thing is inarguable: the production from the US has tanked.
