It's that time of decade again...
This is the place to post your top thirty films from the years 2000-2009
I will compile, periodically, a master list of HTF's top films of the decade and post the results to this thread through the first three or four months of 2010.
Since we’ve used a thirty films per year limit or higher in previous years, it would make sense that most of us have seen at least 300 films from 2000-2009 before posting a list. You’re welcome to append a list of every film you’ve seen from this decade’s new releases at the end of your post (if you’ve tracked such viewings), in fact, such a list may be very helpful to those trying to remember further back than last year (like me, ancient 26 year old that I am).
Please order your list and include thirty films. I will not tally a list with less than thirty films.
if your list is not ordered, all thirty films will be awarded an equal point value while tabulating the master list.
You have thirty film slots to fill. No ties. I will accept up to five Honorable mentions (unranked) that will receive ½ a point for each film, if you wish to avail yourself of the option.
Most of HTF, american and international members, use academy qualification (one week theatrical run in LA or NYC) to determine if a film is 2000-2009 or not, though you are free to use another qualification (first global release, which IMDB uses, is most common second choice), general release in your city is another common option.
If you update your list please make a post stating your list has changed, otherwise I won't change it in my excel sheet.
when compiling the master list, I'll award points based on ranking: for example, a number one film will receive 30 points, and a number 30 film will receive one point
Franchises have Different possible entries: I will count a vote for Fellowship of the Ring separately from a vote for Lord of the Rings. If you don't list what entry in a franchise a film is in, and just list a franchise title, I will tally that as a vote for the Franchise. A franchise must have a complete cycle in the decade in question. You need to vote for the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, not the Star Wars Saga, and Indiana Jones is NOT a valid franchise vote, since only one entry was released in this decade. Don't refer to the Batman franchise, refer to either "The Nolan Batman" or "Batman Reboot" (if someone has something better to call them, I'm all ears).
If, unlike me, you have not been around HTF since 1999/2000, I strongly suggest you browse through the extensive best of year threads linked below, many fabulous films are mentioned and you will probably realize you’ve forgotten about some gem or another while scanning through the pages.
thanks! and have fun.
