Those who haven't yet seen Naomi Watts' performance in Mulholland Drive, ought to.

It's inspiring.

Watch it with someone you love.

I like the way she moves.

I don't know what Yeti's talking about not liking (I think that's what he was getting at) There Will Be Blood.  That movie was awesomesteaks.

Yeah it was. And it's hard to argue with Daniel Day Lewis in anything.

As for Mulholland Drive, that's a movie I want to rewatch because it left me slack jawed the first time. That was probably 8 years ago.

That's not to say I haven't rewatched that scene with the brunette on the internet a couple times since then. With a friend.

Bjork is an actress? That's weird.

I'm no Joan Rivers, but this was fairly memorable from the Oscars.

I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Also, I know they mentioned it, but they have a Heath Ledger role that isn't The Dark Knight. I realize it's not critics' style to pick a big blockbuster hit like that where it featured a lot of explosions, awesome shit, and a fun fucking movie, but that's just idiotic.

It's too bad 10 things i hate about you was made in 1999.

A Knight's Tale wasn't.  Where's the love, A/V Club?

I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

More bestage.

Nice to see The Happening finally get some recognition.

Eternal Sunshine? Really?



I may be ghey, but I absolutely loved Eternal Sunshine.

I'm gay, too - it's one of my all-time favorite movies.

It's a great movie, no doubt. I'd say top 5, but not the best. I'd probably put Royal Tenenbaums, There Will Be Blood, and Marley & Me ahead of it.

This pick-the-list-to-shreds thing we're supposed to be doing isn't going so well.

Well, I've never seen 25th Hour. I got the impression this was simply a good movie, not 2nd best movie of the decade. Thoughts on that?

It was a completely forgettable movie. I have no idea what it's doing on these lists. OUTRAGE!

Also, what's with all these foreign films that I haven't seen? THIS IS AMERICA*

* Amelie, City of God, Oldboy, Y Tu Mama, and the Romanian Abortion Movie were all awesome.

However, if one wanted to be pedantic, he could claim that movie wasn't actually in this decade as it was in 2000.

It's quite good outside of the overly cliche spike lee "fuck these people fuck those people" rant
