Paste Magazine is asking its readers to vote for the best films of the decade, which is slightly curious timing since 2009 is not over yet. They provide a list of the best films of the decade, with the smallest font possible, and of course you can add films you think are missing from the list.
My favs: The Lives of Others, Lost in Translation, Half Nelson, The Squid and the Whale, You Can Count On Me, Once, The Station Agent (which is not on the list, wtf Paste Magazine?), No Man’s Land, The Whale Rider, Kill Bill V. I & II

I love the movies you’ve named… I think each one was on a Top Ten list of mine here and there. The Station Agent is completely brilliant. Did you see the film he directed after that, The Visitor? Good stuff.
I never got around to watch the Visitor, but I will now, thanks for the suggestion!
Hey I thought you LOVED “The Short Bus”
LOVED?! I’d say ADORED! OMG, why did u even bring that up?!
from the ‘list’
Triplets de Belleville (2004)
The Whale Rider (2002)
Spirited Away (2002)
Sideways (2004)
Mulholland Drive (2001)
Lost in Translation (2004)
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
The Lives of Others (2006)
Once (2007)
Volver (2006)
I haven’t seen The Triplets of Belleville & Spirited Away. Mulholland Drive, yes, Naomi Watts, yes…
I agree that ‘Mulholland Drive’ and ‘Sideways’ should definitely be in there somewhere. Not so sure about ‘Once’ though: it was a very nice, enjoyable film, but not a great film, I’d say.
