I will strive to do a top 10. It's difficult because I haven't seen everything and at the same time it's difficult to remember all of your favorites of the last 10 years when trying to work something out like this in just a few minutes. Here goes!

10. Wedding Crashers...I laughed more at this movie the first time I watched it than any other I have ever seen.

9. Mr Brooks...Talk about underrated. If they had done just a bit better job casting (Demi Moore) I think the movie would've been praised a bit more. The dynamic between Mr. Brooks (Costner) and Marshall (Hurt) is brilliant stuff and translated beautifully to the screen. I like it more every time I watch it.

8. There Will Be Blood....Daniel Day-Lewis is quite simply, the greatest actor on the planet. His performance alone gets this movie in the top 10. I completely understand why some aren't enamored with it, but for me the combination of historical fiction and an epic performance raises this one over many more popular movies. The last 15 minutes may be the greatest bit of acting the world has ever seen.

7. The Assassination Of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford...Historically accurate, outstanding performace by Casey Affleck and gorgeous cinematography.

6. The Bourne Trilogy (cheating maybe!)...The first one really is great, but the other two are just as good. Some of the best action stuff in years too. Finally, great spy movies!

5. Almost Famous- What happened to you Billy Crudup??? This is one of my all time favorite movies. I never get sick of watching it. Great casting (PS Hoffman???) and believable original music that actually sounded like a 70's rock band. Thanks Cameron Crowe!

4. Brokeback Mountain- A nearly perfect film in my eyes, and I wasn't totally comfortable going into it. I was so impressed with Lee's storytelling and with Ledger's performance in particular.

3. Training Day - 122 minutes of pure awesome.

2. Shaun of the Dead...My first introduction to Simon Pegg and I have gobbled up every bit of him I can find since. Still my favorite of his filmwork. Hilarious stuff.

1. 3:10 to Yuma....best Western since Unforgiven. Ben Foster should've got an Oscar.
