Default BEST MOVIE OF THE DECADE

I saw Richard Roeper nominate "The Departed" as his favorite movie of the decade.
I've given this a little thought, and my nom's are:

"There Will Be Blood" (surprisingly)
"No Country For Old Men"
"Children of Men"
"Memento"
"Lord Of the Rings 1,2,3"


Any other nominees?

I know, I know... I can already hear the critics, but IMO, a movie is all about the visuals and seeing as how Avatar came at the end of the decade with technology at it's finest, nothing else could compare. Want a great original plot or wicked storytelling? Read a book...

My 2 cents. LOTR123 is up there for me too.

Up is another great one, I love movies like that. IMO, all of the harry potters were garbage.

Yeah, Avatar, Dark Knight, and Snatch were all outstanding.
Good calls, people.

Keep them coming...
