Awesome, thanks jnfbn and pa Really like both your lists. Should be able to tally them in one sec.

I was about to say 'yeah, it really was' or something like that, but then I remembered the 60s... and the 50s... and hell, even the 90s were amazing. Maybe the 00s were just the decade western societies really started getting into Asian cinema. Non-Japanese Asian cinema definitely had a boom in the late-90s through 2000s though.
EDIT: Pa, you have The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on there twice, so I've tacked V For Vendetta on at #100. If there's any issue with that, let me know.

Two months later, finally got around to it.
Yeah, Fey's script is fantastic. That was insanely better than I thought it would be.

I was hoping to revisit Maddin's Brand Upon the Brain before the deadline but it's not showing right now on my beloved criterion channel, and doesn't seem to be anywhere else (without a full purchase of the movie). Does anyone know a site that it can be watched on right now legally -- whether free or like 5 bucks or less? _________________ Best Classical

Coming up blank
Maddin's films are hard to find at the best of times.

Yeah i was talking about non-japanese, and you are absolutely right about 50s/60s japanese cinema as well as western attention to Asian cinema in the 2000s. Like you said, Asian cinema had a boom in the 90s and i think its best results came in early 2000s, Films like Yi Yi and In the Mood for Love are storytelling at its best, along with other brilliant films from Thailand, Taiwan and South Korea.

Yess Maddin's films are almost impossible to find, luckly all of his films have been frequent guests in festivals here in Istanbul, and university film libraries.

Hard to say.

Even based on the numbers I have on the board, I could almost statistically say the 2000s were more 'top-heavy'. The films floating about the top are all neck-and-neck, but after the top 15 or so there's a bit of a drop.
But depth? 2010s had more depth. I think there's more 'good' films in the 2010s than the 2000s, but possibly more 'great' films in the 2000s than the 2010s. There's this gap between 2003-2005 that showcases that the most. To each their own though. I'm still digging through the decade.
3 days left. Whipping up posters for give-or-take the 15 films at the top. Figure the top 10s in the bunch.

For me I'd say the 2000s has more depth than I remember and it certainly is more "deep" than the 2010s while I think art movements in the 2010s are more eclectic and diverse.

The greater depth of the 2010s could simply be a numbers game. There were more films produced in that decade so consequently there were more 'good' films...and more crap at the same time. I don't think I can answer which decade was better, but I will say more films from the 2000s have stuck with me.
