Nothing but respect for the man, generally, but any top ten list that includes Spielberg’s ridiculously horrendous War of the Worlds remake that doesn’t involve the words “Worst,” “Most Depressing,” or “Corporate Artlessness” makes absolutely ZERO sense to me.  leitch: For the last two months, my friend Tim and I — the two dopey overgrown Mattoon movie kids — have been revealing and discussing our Top 10 Movies Of The Decade. Yes, yes, the decade ended almost three months ago, but Grierson and I like to be thorough. We finally finished yesterday. Here are our top 10s. LEITCH 1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind2. United 933. There Will Be Blood4. War of the Worlds5. Punch-Drunk Love6. Before Sunset7. Mulholland Drive8. The Class9. Requiem for a Dream10. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King GRIERSON 1. Dogville2. Yi Yi3. Zodiac4. There Will Be Blood5. The House of Sand6. Junebug7. Memento8. The Corporation9. The Dark Knight10. The Silence Before Bach My honorable mentions, in alphabetical order: Best In Show, The Corporation, The Dark Knight, Junebug, Monster, Once, A Serious Man, Spellbound, Wall-E, You Can Count On Me. If we do this again in 10 years, you have to like Leap Year’s chances.
