More Best of the Decade Lists!

Last week I posted my buddy Ethan Kreitzer’s list of his favorite fifty films of the last decade, and my response to his selections.

With 2009 drawing to a close, there have been a lot of other fascinating Best of the Decade lists floating around.  Here are some good ones:

The Onion A.V. Club has weighed in with their 50 Best Films of the Decade.  Really excellent list.  (I was thrilled to see films like The Prestige, Grizzly Man, and Capturing the Friedmans included.  But yet another mention on one of these lists of Steven Spielberg’s atrocious A.I.: Artificial Intelligence??  Madness!)  Also not to be missed: their list of the Best Bad Films of the Decade.  Luckily, I only saw one film on that list: the positively dreadful The Happening.

Drew at Hitix recently posted his Best of the Decade list, as well as links to two other lists I hadn’t seen:  The 50 Best Films of the Decade from theauteurs.com and Film School Rejects‘ list of the The Most Culturally Significant Films of the Last Decade.

Speaking of Hitfix, check out their list of the Ten Worst Oscar Winners of the Last Decade.  Strong choices all around, and I DEFINITELY agree with their #2 and #1 selections!

Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly has posted a truly eclectic Top Ten selection, while Rolling Stone‘s Peter Travers has posted a Top Ten list that’s much more up my alley, with one notable exception.

Let’s close things out with this interesting list of the Most Unfairly Overlooked Films of the Decade.  There’s a lot that I agree with on this list (my love for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang knows no earthly bounds, and I’m also pretty fond of Choke, The Wackness, Spartan, and Grindhouse) and a lot I disagree with (I don’t plan on seeing The Girl Next Door or City of Ember any time soon), but it’s definitely worth a look.  Let the debates continue…

Have a Happy New Year, everybody!!
