Boy it’s almost time to give a top movies of the decade, ain’t it…mine would include (sort of in reverse chrono order):

Hunger (2008)  
The Dark Knight (2008)  
Man on Wire (2008)  
Let the Right one in (2008)  
No Country for Old Men (2007)  
Michael Clayton (2007)  
Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)  
The Queen (2006)  
Downfall (2005)  
The Sea Inside (2004)  
Before Sunset (2004)  
Master and Commander (2003)  
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001 - 2003)  
Adaptation (2002)  
Amores Perros (2001)  
Gosford Park (2001)  
High Fidelity (2000)  
You Can Count on Me (2000)  
Traffic (2000)

As for whether or not it corresponds to the two lists - eh, not really. I’ve seen most of the movies on those lists and I’m fine with most of them getting some sort of recognition but placing them as the top of the decade is a bit silly.

Movies for this year I have high hopes for are:

Up in the air  
The Lovely Bones

Wow, a lot of poor reading comprehension in this thread.

Well the decade’s not quite over yet. I might have to include the Coen brothers’ latest, [A Serious Man](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1019452/) on my list. Just saw it today.
