a sampling of decadence

So remember how I said everyone try Flickchart? Also remember how I said everyone tell me what your favorite movies of the last decade are? Well, in its incredibly un-scientific methodology, here is my list of the top 50 movies of the decade according to Flickchart (keep in mind that this isn't the list I'll be posting at the end of the year, but perhaps it'll be worth discussing in the meantime):

50. Phone Booth
49. Rocky Balboa
48. Oldboy
47. Insomnia
46. Memento
45. The Fast and the Furious
44. Cloverfield
43. Hellboy
42. Stranger Than Fiction
41. Batman Begins
40. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
39. Meet the Parents
38. Grindhouse
37. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
36. V for Vendetta
35. Napoleon Dynamite
34. Little Miss Sunshine
33. The Village
32. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
31. High Fidelity
30. Hero
29. Kill Bill Vol. 2
28. Training Day
27. Iron man
26. Chicago
25. Austin Powers in Goldmember
24. Watchmen
23. Sunshine
22. Casino Royale
21. Planet Terror
20. Shaun of the Dead
19. Wall-E
18. Mean Girls
17. Moulin Rouge
16. Serenity
15. Slumdog Millionaire
14. Donnie Darko
13. Zodiac
12. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
11. The Incredibles
10. The Dark Knight
9. Star Trek
8. No Country for Old Men
7. X-Men
6. Match Point
5. The Ring
4. Unbreakable
3. 28 Days Later
2. X2: X-Men United
1. Kill Bill Vol. 1

Yes, a bit strange of a list, eh? Like I said -- it's not perfect. It just happened to be how the voting turned out at this very moment.

Before you say something like "Where is (500) Days of Summer?" (or some other movie you thought I really liked) -- well keep in mind that many many titles from this decade haven't come up in my flickchart yet.

But what do you think of the movies provided in the order they're in?
