So - 2000 - 2010, a decade in which the world has changed so much.... and in my opinion, a decade that has gone by very quick... I for one was probably a lot closer to the average age of most NS now, 20 in 2000.... so a lot has changed for me personally and I've seen and experienced much.....

However, I also think it's been a decade of some epic movies so post up your favorite, or top 3 movies of the last decade...

For me, there is only one....

Dark Knight.

But - I also think there are a shit tonne i've forgot.... so would be good to have a reference thread for good movies to watch from the last 10 years.... go.

I honestly didn't think inception was that great. It was cool, but to me, a movie like The Prophet was much better. About to watch True Grit, if what I've heard is true, it might make the list.

No - Matrix movies where the 90's - I think - which makes them epic and way ahead of their time...

I also don't think inception was that great - good, but it is not a movie i could just watch over and over again.... which is what i judge a movie by.

Dark knight for example - i could literally watch it back to back and never get bored of it.... that's a great movie, same with the departed...
