For being a year where it seemed like nothing outstanding hit theatres, I really had a hard time narrowing down the list of the most memorable films. In some of the lists before, I hated films so badly, they were listed because of the visceral reaction I have every time I pass them in Blockbuster. [...]

Top Tens of the Decade: 2008
December 27th, 2009 4 Comments
This list of the most memorable films of 2008 was much easier to create, since I posted it here a year ago. It seems that ‘08 was a very good year for film. Much better than 2009. I saw over a hundred movies in theatres that year, so perhaps it wasn’t the [...]

Top Tens of the Decade: 2007

2007 was a much quieter year than the few before it. Continued working with the same non-profit which sent me to Turkey and Russia again, but for the most part, I stayed in Utah. Much more exciting, however, was the fact that 2007 was a fantastic year for film. It was super [...]

Top Tens of the Decade: 2006

2006 was my first year back at college, adjusting to American life again. I was finally really digging back into movies and attended Sundance for the first time. I couldn’t stay away from the USSR and spent the summer traveling around Tajikistan and Azerbaijan with a non-profit. During those long months of 130+ degree temperature, [...]

Top Tens of the Decade: 2005

2005 was another year spend in seclusion in the former USSR. Besides a few quick trips to Estonia, I spent the the year in Vsevolozhsk, and Nezhniy Novgorod, Russia. Finally at the very end of the year, I made a short stop in Paris, but moved back to the States indefinitely. I was completely out [...]

Top Tens of the Decade: 2004

I got really held up on my list of memorable 2003 films. There seemed to be a dearth of good cinema then. But 2004 was totally a different story. It was really difficult to just narrow it down to ten. I saw all of these films after the fact. The [...]

Top Tens of the Decade: 2003

2003 was a very interesting year for me. I returned back to my mom’s place after my first year of college, which was, of course, hard. I was 18 and wanted to go out to eat at four in the morning with like-minded 18 year olds. Towards the end of 2003, I decided to move [...]

Now for my top ten films of 2002. Just a reminder of what this list actually means, these are not my favorite films of the years, not what I thought were technically the best films, but the films that left the most indelible impression on me. The films I’ve never forgotten. Check out the lists for 2000, [...]

Top Tens of the Decade: 2001

In 2001, I turned 16, became a junior, got my first car and watched a lot of bad film. Seriously. Save the Last Dance, Tomb Raider, Thir13een Ghosts, all things I saw in the theatre. There were a few gems I managed to catch on to. Please, please don’t judge me.
– Way back then, [...]

Top Tens of the Decade: 2000

My favorite blog posts are usually lists. Not those that I write (I really don’t compile lists), but the lists that you all make. And I do like the idea of reviewing the past decade and making a top ten of each year. So I’ve decided to do it.
I will have to do it according [...]
