Welcome

Hello! Glad you could make it. Firstly, thanks very much for having a look. I appreciate it greatly. You know, I've made this list for personal satisfaction really. I got the idea into my head and I couldn't get rid of it, so have ended up with this. Nevertheless, it's still important that somebody reads this. It justifies the endeavour I suppose. Otherwise, I'm just a gorilla masturbating in a cage, so to speak.

So, the plan is, tomorrow you'll get a list of numbers 100-51. From then on, I'll be posting a couple of entries at a time, with a little bit of commentary, maybe an explanation of why I like it, that kind of thing. Every film will have a link to imdb.com, so you can have a look at them there. Oh, and for a film to be included it has to have a release date on imdb.com between 2000 and 2009. A bit arbitrary perhaps, but a man's got to have a code. This means that the likes of Audition and Being John Malkovich miss out, despite popping up on best of the decade lists elsewhere. You may be aware that some people feel that reviews of the decade are ill-advised at this moment in time, because decades are properly defined as the time between the first days of years ending in 1. These people are, however, attention seeking cock-smokers. A decade is a period of ten years, irrespective of what date you choose as a starting point. I choose 01/01/00.

Also, I'm not a complete bum and there are many lauded films that I haven't seen . Sooo, don't expect to see the following films on my list because I haven't seen them; Children of Men, Brokeback Mountain, In the Mood for Love, Time Out, Crash, Million Dollar Baby, Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, Werckmeister Harmonies, Fantastic Mr Fox, District 9, Amelie, The Time of the Wolf, Inglourious Basterds, Talk to Her, The New World, 25th Hour, Gerry.

Right, let's get started then.
