What's that you ask? My favorite movies of this here past decade? Well, I'm glad you asked. You will be, too.
10. The Princess and the Frog (2009)Who can resist a good Disney princess movie? Who can resist Disney's first black princess? The return to hand animation is so nostalgic that you can't help but smile your way through this thoroughly green flick. *Ribbit*
9. Slumdog Millionaire (2008)The only thing that could have made this indie film better was if they had actually paid their child actors.
7.&8.Finding Nemo (2003)/Up (2009)It's a tie for these two animated Pixar films. Who knew that cartoons could have a heart? If you make it out of these two movies without crying at least once, check your pulse.
6. Amelie (2001)French films have the reputation for being boring and pretentious, and to be honest, that is what I was expecting from Amelie. It's anything but. This film also served as the visual inspiration for the short-lived television show Pushing Daisies.
5. Big Fish (2003)Tim Burton is a genius. Enough has been said.
4. Moulin Rouge (2001)
The problem that most people have with musicals is that they don't know the words to any of the songs. Moulin Rouge found the answer. Along with ground breaking cinematography, songs from every genre imaginable are incorporated into the plot. Rent. Right. Away.
3. Juno (2007)A comedy about a pregnant teenager giving up her baby to a couple that is having marital problems. You'd think it would be an utterly offensive train wreck. You'd be wrong.
2. Walk the Line (2005)The '00s were definitely the golden age of the biopic. Nowhere is this more evident than in Walk the Line, based on the life of the late Johnny Cash starring Joaquin Pheonix (of the Letterman freak out variety) and Reese Witherspoon.
1. 500 Days of Summer (2009)This one barely made it in the decade, but thank goodness it did! Non-sequencially, this film chronicles the 500 day relationship between a love obsessed boy and a quirky non believer girl named Summer.
Love 'em? Hate 'em? Tell me your top 10.
