The Best of the Decade: Part One
Not only is the year coming to the end but it is the end of the first decade of the 21st century. I am looking forward to all that is in store for 2010 and beyond. In the next couple of days I will be compiling top ten lists of the decade. As a huge movie buff it would not be right to not start there. Here it goes...
10.Bridget Jones Diary
Renee Zellweger was in her element. It was quirky, smart and all around entertaining. Colin Firth was an absolute dream as Mark Darcy. It is not only a guilty pleasure for me but an actual good film.
9. The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Funny and brilliant at the same time. Johnny Depp was a complete genius in the role of Jack Sparrow
8. Finding Nemo
The best film that Pixar ever made(Up is also up there-no pun intended). Hilariously charming.
7. X2: X-Men United
Wolverine and the gang united to deliver the best super hero film of the 21st century. I was left wanting more(little disappointed by the third one but oh well).
6. Slumdog Millionaire
What a movie? The cinematography was breathtaking, The score was outstanding and there was not a weak link in the acting category. It was a breath of fresh air to Hollywood. It was wonderful to see a film that created roles that gave room for minority characters to be dynamic instead of flat.
5. Billy Elliott
Just an wonderful feel good movie that can bring a single tear to cynic. Jamie Bell was superb from start to finish.
4. Finding Forrester
You cannot go wrong with Rob Brown, he shines in this story of an unlikely friendship. It is wonderfully written.
3. Remember the Titans
Sports movie gone right. There have been tons of attempts to make another Remember the Titans all have failed because there is only one. It was a daring film that's smart, funny and heartfelt. You can't go wrong with Denzel.
2. Gladiator
Epic!!!! Russell Crowe delivered in every scene and Joaquin Phoenix was brilliantly creepy.
1. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
The whole trilogy was spectacular but Return of the King proved that movies were like wine they became better over time. In my opinion no other film has delivered the way LOTR has.
