The Lake House!?!?

The beauty of cinema, is that everyone views things differently. The toughest job of a critic is not to watch a film, or even necessarily write about it, but it is to present each film listed with an argument.

Now, the films you have picked, first of all, show a bit of a contradiction in your writing. Master and Commander was nominated for more Oscars than The Wrestler, Lost In Translation, Sideways – and as nominated for most of the films which I mentioned.

Many of the films you listed I believe are good films, but many of them are also bottom drawer like Starship Troopers 2, and there are not many people who would agree with you on that one except for your tiny cult fanbase that has some sort of affinity for that kind of garbage. But to put that on a top ten list of the decade is not only absurd – it is a great injustice to the many other highly qualified films of the decade.

I’d like to let you know that I did not choose films because they were nominated for Academy Awards or won Oscars, I chose films because I felt they were simply that good. And your list does not seem to have any obscure titles at all – in fact, it’s worse because your list has titles that are intending to be obscure and are just plain low in quality.

“Passion of the Christ” – I’m not with you on at all, maybe that’s my Jewish heritage. “Apocalypto” almost made the cut if that makes you feel any better…

I appreciate your opinions, and I appreciate your response, but if we were to take a poll of whose top ten list is more not, accurate, but acceptable, I think that there would be absolutely no competition. But, I’m always up for an adventure.
