Hallelujah!
I think it just cracked my top 25 of all time list. Blew my mind multiple times and totally lived up to the hype. Nothing ever lives up to the hype these days.
I gave Nic Cages Bad Lieutenant a 10/10 the other day because I enjoyed the hell out of it as a twisted black comedy. But compared to Inception it's like the 1 cup that belonged to those 2 girls, with Inception being a tub of double chocolate haagen daaz.
It made me want to look at the movies I've considered great lately and re-evaluate them. Because it sets the bar so high. I wish all movies aspired to be this great instead of just making a profit.
I can't throw a 10 out so easily anymore. But Inception truly deserves the 10. Thank you Christopher Nolan. He's joined elite company for directors now as far as i'm concerned.
edit

erhaps I was too harsh comparing Bad Lieutenant to 2 girls 1 cup when put up against Inception. I still maintain that it was one of the best movies of last year and is a masterpiece of black comedy. Inception though, is one of the best of the decade.
