A decade of movies: pt 1

So I finally got around to making my list of my favorite films of the decade. I was tempted to go as far as Jen Smith and break them into categories, but for now I will give you my top 10 favorites from each year. Some were chosen because of their overall excellence, others made the list simply because they make me smile and can be watched repeatedly. I have a feeling these lists would have shaped up differently if I actually got around to watching some of the films from those years, and realized my netflix queue needs a serious update! :) If you notice a serious oversight, leave me a comment... what better time then now to catch up on the must see films of the 2000's.
