Greatest Movie of the Decade

[Big Pete]

A bit off-topic but was I the only person who was dissapointed with the first Lord of the Rings?

I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but in hindsight it's certainly a weaker film than Return. I actually prefer it to Two Towers.

The Shawshank Redemption was made in 1994, mate. To be eligible, it has to be from 2000-2009.

[Moffo]

ahhh...why are people naming movies that wern't in the 2000-2009 period (e.g. donnie darko?)

Reonnie Darko

Donnie Darko had its first screening at the Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2001, and debuted in United States theaters in October 2001 to a tepid response. Shown on only 58 screens nationwide, the film grossed $110,494 in its opening weekend.[8] By the time the film closed in United States theaters on April 11, 2002, it had earned just $517,375.[2][8] It ultimately grossed $4.1 million worldwide.[2]
Despite its poor box office showing, the film began to attract a devoted fan base. It was originally released on DVD and VHS in March 2002. During this time, the Pioneer Theatre in New York City's East Village began midnight screenings of Donnie Darko that continued for 28 consecutive months.[7]
