Best Movie with old people: Gran Torino. Cultural differences and open racism. Great ending.

Best Movie with Heath Ledger in it: Dark Knight. No one can ever ask the question "do you want to see a magic trick" again without thinking of this movie. Not an exact quote, but no one ever quotes it correctly.

Best Movie about Batman: Batman Begins. Took Batman away from the campy stuff we got in the mid-90's to something awesome.

Best Comic book movie: Spider-man. This movie had me grinning from just watching Spider-man swing around New York.

Best Movie with English people instead of Italians: Gladiator. It started the decade off right - with an Australian stabbing tigers.

Best WTF Movie: Big Fish. I usually don't like Tim Burton, but this was fun.

Best chick flick: The Notebook. Screw that movie for making me want to cry.

Classic Animation: The Emperor's New Groove. Maybe Princess Frog. I'll think it over.
Computer Animation: Shrek. Not the first CG movie, but it was the beginning of the end of classic animation full length silver screen movie.

Welcome Back you didn't suck as much as we thought: Star Trek. They left all the old stuff in tact (even though I didn't like it) and made an entertaining movie

Best Movie: Remember the Titans. If I start watching this movie, I'll end up watching it to the end. Every time.

Hehe, I like your categories Thugoneous. You could like totally give away trophies.

On a dissimilar note, I never could understand how the decade could be over at the beginning of the 10th year, but alas, it seems to be the accepted convention.

uh.. 2000-2009 = 10 years. you have to count the 0 year. tard.


edit: unless we're going by decades from the beginning of time, then yeah it'd be 2001-2010. but that's too complicated for most people to grasp. like how 2000 wasn't a real century change, 2001 was.

Man it only took two posts to derail the topic into another pointless discussion of when a decade ends.

Not me this time.
