These decade-ending lists inspired me to rewatch Sexy Beast. It's even better than I remembered. nm

Posted by Dignan (aka Dignan) Dec 8 '09, 15:05

not sure about top 10 for the decade, but certainly top 25.

Responses:

There's an entire year left in the decade. Aren't these lists a little premature? -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 15:14 45
- nmb TWuG - CovingtonCat Dec 8, 15:25 2
  - Awesome! I'm glad you like! You said "no books" but like to road trip, so I took a stab that the book would work. - TWuG Dec 8, 15:28 1
    - Sounds good. Thanks! -- nm - CovingtonCat Dec 8, 15:37
- [deleted] 4
  - Yes, there's the Calendar Decade and the "wow, the numbers changed!" decade. I accept that there are two types of decade. - TWuG Dec 8, 15:26 2
    - see below. No one cares about that decade. It's different for centurys and milleniums. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:34
    - [deleted]
  - I submit that this decade doesn't start until after 9/11. -- nm - Rudolph Guliani Dec 8, 15:21
- Depends on which decade you're talking about. -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 15:17
- I'm with you but it seems like most people are going with 2000-2009 as the decade. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 15:15
- Only if you count 2000 as part of the 90's. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 15:15 3
  - Which noone does. It's counted as part of the tenth decade of the last century, which encompasses 1991 through 2000. You folks who start counting to - TWuG Dec 8, 15:17 1
    - so... you agree then. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:19
  - which would be silly. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:15
- Here's where I get stabby. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:14 30
  - There is the Nineties, whic encompasses 10 years or a lower-case "d" decade. A Decade (upper case) is ten years starting with a year ending in 1 and - TWuG Dec 8, 15:22 21
    - But what if we put a lower-case-d decade in a title? MAYHEM!!! -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 15:28
    - [deleted]
    - So you're not one of the jackholes who was arguing in 2000 that the 21st century hadn't started yet? -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 15:25 6
      - By the Calendar with which we mark time, it had not. -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 15:30 3
        
        Ah. I should've known. -- nm - Agent.Vermin Dec 8, 15:38
        
        because that calendar has such a remarkably accurate starting point. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 15:33 1
        
        It may have an arbitrary date of adoption, but the Calendar works both forward and backward. -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 15:36
      - OK well.... it hadn't. - Reagen Dec 8, 15:27 1
        
        Agreed. "Hey, remember the 80s" with Goatboy ... and "Hey, remember the 70s" with Cowman ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 15:28
    - So by your logic, Best of the 60s would include the year 1970? Wikipedia disagrees. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 15:25
    - Dear nerds: please don't make this a thing. -- nm - David Dec 8, 15:24 8
      - Dear David, stop calling me a nerd. - musubi Dec 8, 15:37
      - I'm with David on this one -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 15:29
      - *whimper* -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 15:27
      - it's one of the more baffling ones to me. -- nm - b. Dec 8, 15:26 3
        
        as is something like this getting personal. -- nm - b. Dec 8, 15:39 2
        
        Your face is getting personal! - Reagen Dec 8, 15:40 1
        
        so's your mother! - b. Dec 8, 15:41
      - Hey, I'm pretty nerdy, but even *I* understand the concept of a vernacular usage. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 8, 15:26
    - Do I sound this condescending when I do this? If so, I'm sorry, people. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:24 1
      - No intention at condescension. I'll cop to being a pedant on the subject, though. -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 15:34
  - I had no idea TWuG was on your same team. - David Dec 8, 15:20 5
    - I was shooting at blue! -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:20 4
      - You were shooting blue...at red. -- nm - David Dec 8, 15:22 3
        
        it's also not my fault you killed the guy before my rocket got there! -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:25 1
        
        How dare I be great at Halo! -- nm - David Dec 8, 15:27
        
        Speaking of which, I should send you the video of this. -- nm - David Dec 8, 15:25
  - yes. -- nm - Callisto Dec 8, 15:17
  - *turns blind eye* nm - Every possible jury Dec 8, 15:16
(Oh, and the 2006 list has moved The Proposition to the top of my queue.) nm - Dignan Dec 8, 15:12 19
- Speaking of Ray Livingstone flicks, I enjoyed Cold Mountain probably more than it deserved. - con_carne Dec 8, 15:15 13
  - Ray *Winstone* (who the fuck is Ray Livingstone??) -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 15:19 6
    - (I get him confused with Brendan Gleeson.) nm - Dignan Dec 8, 15:22
    - You mixed up Ray and Ron. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 15:20 4
      - I bet Ron Rice would have gotten more yards last night. -- nm - nubby Dec 8, 15:29
      - (I presume) -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 15:21
      - That would have made Office Space much different. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:21 1
        
        I need you to come in on Sunday, you *&$*@&#* fat crocodile fat &*&#(@(($# -- nm - Sir Ben Dec 8, 15:23
  - Minghella's films just hit some sort of weird spot with me - Reagen Dec 8, 15:18 5
    - I like Minghella films as well. -- nm - Callisto Dec 8, 15:21
    - I disliked that movie, but I admit it's full of good moments -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 15:20
    - The Talented Mr. Ripley is his best. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 15:20 2
      - oh definitely. Just, there's a lot of people that seem to passionate hate his stuff which I kinda get but don't agree with. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:22
      - [deleted]
- I appreciated The Proposition more than I liked it. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 15:13 2
  - Maybe I'll watch The Proposal instead. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 15:15
  - that sums up my sentiments as well -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 15:15
- I've only seen 4/10 on that one. -- nm - Callisto Dec 8, 15:13 1
  - 1/10. I so badly want to see Brick, though. -- nm - Mop (230 lbs) Dec 8, 15:15
yeah, that's a good film. -- nm - Callisto Dec 8, 15:11
There's one director that needs to make more movies. What ever happened to him? -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 15:10 1
- He directed that Nicole Kidman/10 year old kid movie! nm - Dignan Dec 8, 15:11
i had to watch it with subtitles and even then it was only decent -- nm - Guy Dec 8, 15:09 4
- Point: Dignan. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 15:10 3
  - you should definitely skip the Darko re-watch, cause i love it. - Guy Dec 8, 15:12
  - I'd go so far as checkmate. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 15:10 1
    - I didn't want to be greedy, but you're almost certainly correct. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 15:11
(Also, Birth was an...interesting followup for Glazer.) nm - Dignan Dec 8, 15:09 1
- I didn't like the movie but the opening scene is one of my favorites ever. -- nm - Max Dec 8, 15:25
Did you watch it with Donnie Darko for a (spoilers) - Dano Dec 8, 15:06 4
- I should probably rewatch that one of these days. nm - Dignan Dec 8, 15:08
- *shivers* -- nm - Chasing Amy Dec 8, 15:07 2
  - The Wade Robson dance a couple seasons ago on SYTYCD must have been a nightmare. -- nm - Dano Dec 8, 15:09
  - you know every time you do that - we all think it's her - Epiphany Dec 8, 15:09
