I'm very sad that Spirited Away wasn't up for any awards, particularly best score. :(

Spirited Away
(2001, Hayao Miyazaki)

6) The score – was AMAZING – I could go on for three paragraphs on this alone.

Did ya just forget?

Spirited Away wins

Oooooh, I see what's going on now.

Yeah - these last set of awards were just for the last 20 of the 40 films. ( I know - kinda silly :) ) Sorry for the confusion

I'm debating on doing a "final" set of awards but I'm worried I've saturated my audience here already!

Hey ferris, approximately where on that list is the line between thumbs up and thumbs down? At one point are you not recommending the film?

I hate to make that line because but there is so much I honor over most of the ones on the list and it's all so very subjective.  But with a gun put to my head I guess the thumbs up / thumbs down line would be between 31 and 32, between Barley and Master and Commander.

As for recommending? that's a bit of a different question.  I think I could recommend ALL of these except History of Violence and The Squid and the Whale.  

EDIT: I went back broke the list out into categories

So.  The purpse of this marathon from the beginning was for me to be able to make a Top 50 of the decade without having seen some of the most obvious and quintessential films.  I've taken this filmspotting BOD Award stuff pretty seriously!

While there are many many more films I wish I could watch before finalizing this list - especially more foreign films, I think I've gotten as close as I get for the BOD Awards voting this month.

So after three weeks of careful evaluation, last minute cramming, rewatches and endless tootling here is my list of the best of the decade.

It's basically just a slideshow put to music.  It's 7 minutes long - that's alot to ask, I understand, so I'll copy this list off in text form to the BOD Forum sometime next week.  But if you think about it this 7 minutes of video took since last September to compile - so maybe I can talk a few people into giving a full watch :)

(Youtube somehow detected the signature on one of the songs I used.  You can close that ad out.  If you don't you won't see the captions on the bottom.)




Here's the list:  ENJOY :)

Arg. I should remember to bring headphones to school. In any case it looks promising just from the preview and the fact you used the Once soundtrack.

I kept wondering "what is number 1? Why can't I remember?"...

..... and then "NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"


Otherwise, I love your list dude. And I that slide-show was pretty great :) One day I'll rewatch Synecdoche and you can rewatch Apocalypto (or something) ;)

HA HA HA HA.  Well thanks for watching anyways even though the payoff wasn't what you were hoping.  So yeah SNY for Apocalyto....maybe in 2-3 years.  I'm still having nightmares from the first viewing :P
