Decade's Best Movies

Slate has their list of the decade's best movies, made by putting together a consensus of other lists. So many lists to track!

Here at Marc Valdez Weblog, where ignorance is the rule rather than the exception, I have to report that I didn't even see most of the movies on this list. Nevertheless, if I had to rank the movies that I did see on Slate's list in order of quality, this is how I'd rank them:

No Country For Old Men (2007)
Billy Elliot (2000)
Lord of the Rings: The Return Of The King (2003)
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (2001)
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
There Will Be Blood (2007)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
Moulin Rouge! (2001)
WALL-E (2008)
The Dark Knight (2008)
Hotel Rwanda (2004)
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
Being John Malkovitch (2000)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)
An Inconvenient Truth (2006)
Pirates Of The Caribbean (2003)
Mamma Mia! (2008)

And, of course, there were all the other movies that didn't make this list. Certain movies, like "Australia" and "Coraline" should be on this list too, and near the top!
