Favorite Vampires

How about Salma Hayek's character in From Dusk 'Til Dawn? Sure the movie was ridiculously silly.... but how do you forget her work in it? If anything, it was pretty memorable...

Meanwhile, Lestat over Louie? Louie was the one with the character arc, the layers, the compassion from the audience. Louie deserves to be at the top of the list, if you ask me.

Best of the Decade: Directors and stars

Are you asking for movies stars in general, as in their entire body of work over the course of the past decade, or single performances by actors and actress? Likewise for directors. These can result in entirely different lists....

Top 10 of the '00s

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

2. Almost Famous (2000)

3. Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-03)

4. No Country for Old Men (2007)

5. The Wrestler (2008)

6. Memento (2001)

7. I'm Not There (2007)

8. Adaptation (2002)

9. Inglorious Basterds (2009)

10. There Will Be Blood (2007)

I'll probably change my mind tomorrow, then again the next day, and again the next day... that's just how these lists go.

Cheers,

That's why I'm digging the suggestions... each list has another movie I hadn't thought of, which just gets me thinking some more. Thanks for the list
