wonder if it'll make the cinematography list.

Animated films are not eligible for cinematography.

The twenty films of the 2000s that made our latest Top 100:

9. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
30. Before Sunset
31. Wall-E
33. There Will Be Blood
35. No Country for Old Men
36. Yi Yi
39. Pan's Labyrinth
46. Mulholland Dr.
49. Lost in Translation
50. In the Mood for Love
53. Punch Drunk Love
60. City of God
61. High Fidelity
63. Children of Men
66. Spirited Away
71. Almost Famous
78. Requiem for a Dream
85. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, The
86. Adaptation
90. Y Tu Mama Tambien

Shaun of the Dead is the biggest surprise so far — though it didn't miss our Top 100 by much, coming in at 105.

So at least one of the films above will miss out on the Top 20 of the decade.  Which will it be?

so there won't be a definitive number one? no There Will Be Blood vs. the 80's?

Inglorious Bastards
(Quentin Tarantino, 2009)

Quote from: Junior
I don't think that this film could be any better than it is. Nothing wasn't perfect.

Quote from: thevoid99
I shall never, ever doubt Quentin Tarantino's ability to make a great film ever again. I loved it.  Every moment in that film was flat-out brilliant from that opening scene of Col. Landa at the home LaPadite to everything else.

Quote from: Clovis8
The word is used too often, nonetheless this movie is a masterpiece. Plain and simple.

Quote from: roujin
The scene with Shosanna putting on her makeup is probably the best thing that Quentin has ever done. Along with the shot of the two Basterds firing away in manic glee as everything around them burns. I don't know what look Eli Roth has at the end of that scene but it's almost quasi-orgasmic.

Quote from: ferris
The last line of the movie: brilliant, and I agree.  When it cut to black I was the guy who started the applause in the theater.

I went into IB determined to hate it.  Ten minutes in I already lost that battle...

So glad to see this as one of the top 20

Inglourious Basterds is such an interesting movie. I haven't seen it since opening night - I really should rewatch it. There's a lot to chew on.

2/5 for my picks so far.
