Paste Magazine posted the Top 50 movies of the decade. Can you name the top 10?

Posted by Dano (aka dano) Nov 3 '09, 11:12

(I'm not going to note if you guess a movie that is listed 11-50 because it's a multi-page list and I don't feel like clicking all over the place searching for stuff. I will only note if it's in the top 10.)

Responses:

From the answers already hit, are we sure they mean the last *50* years? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:28 1
- Ah... nevermind. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:29
Pan's Labyrinth -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 11:27
#6 is Beau Travail and #8 is The Son. and a link... -- (link) - Dano Nov 3, 11:27 1

Pixar couldn't possibly get shut out of the top 10, could they? Spirited Away? -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 11:26 5
- #39 -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 11:28
- Not reasonably, I'd think. There's gotta be a Miyazaki movie, too. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 11:27 2
  - Oh, these guys probably think Ratatouille is the best Pixar, like fools. I guess Ratatouille. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 11:28 1
    - That'd be a special kind of crazy. - musubi Nov 3, 11:29
- (Note: I obviously know that Spirited Away is not Pixar.) -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 11:26
Garden State. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 11:25
Oooh, I know, I know, Oh Brother Where Art Thou. That'd fit right into this the other top 10. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 11:24
Virgin Suicides -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Nov 3, 11:23 1
- not if there is a breath of sanity left on this planet. -- nm - TFox Nov 3, 11:24
Eternal Sunshine (more quirk) -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 11:22 2
- #5 -- nm - Dano Nov 3, 11:26
- Oooh, judging by the others in the top 10, this is a good guess. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 11:23
Once/ -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:22
Hmmm, quirky. What about Amelie, or Moulin Rouge? (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 11:21 2
- Amelie, #2 -- nm - Dano Nov 3, 11:21 1
  - Yay! -- nm - Guigue Nov 3, 11:22
Gladiator? -- nm - Loyola Nov 3, 11:21
You'll never get #6 or #8, but you should be familiar with #2, #5, and #7. -- nm - Dano Nov 3, 11:20 15
- I just cheated, what a stupid list. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 3, 11:21 14
  - For you and MDH notably: Quickly, what would be a better list? - Guigue Nov 3, 11:24 1
    - Eternal Sunshine and City of God are the only ones I would vouch for. - Hotkiss Nov 3, 11:28
  - I think it's pretty solid, really. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 11:22 11
    - I like it as a top 50 list, but the top 10 wouldn't be my personal top 10 -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 11:25 1
      - i get that, but, no two people's would ever be the same. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:26
    - i just checked it out too - i like it. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:23 5
      - They're fine movies, but this list is for hipsters and record store clerks -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 11:26 2
        
        *shrug*, i'm okay with that. what would be your top 10? -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:28
        
        High Fidelity! - musubi Nov 3, 11:28
      - It's so close to my taste, I'll try to see the movies in the top 10 I haven't seen - Guigue Nov 3, 11:24 1
        
        i loved everything i've seen in their top 10, so.... -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:25
    - Royal Tenenbaums in the top 10 already makes it stupid -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 3, 11:23 2
      - That would be my third fave of the 2000s, so obviously I think that makes it awesome. -- nm - Callisto Nov 3, 11:23 1
        
        It's really good. One of Gene Hackman's best performances. -- nm - Inigo Nov 3, 11:27

- #10 -- nm - Dano Nov 3, 11:18
Gigli, Attack of the Clones, The Wedding Date ... - Beryllium Nov 3, 11:17 2
- Juno being #14 made it lose credibility IMO along with it's other random choices -- nm - MDH Nov 3, 11:18 1
  - I was going to say Juno as a joke, dang. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 3, 11:18
I just checked, and 4 of my top 5 is in their top five, so I pretty much have to say it's a damn good list -- nm - Guigue Nov 3, 11:16
