10 Off My Head - 10 Best Movies of 10 Years Ago

.
Everybody's been doing their top ten lists for 2013 lately (case in glorious point) and I've felt a little left out. I'm left out by my own making obviously, I could make a list if I felt like it. It just doesn't feel right to me until I see everything I can, and no matter how hard I work that never seems to happen until at least March of the following year every time around. And anyway, I like giving myself some extra time to consider the year and not rush to judgement - I'm a tortoise, man! No hare here. And so in that blessed spirit of defiant sloooowness, I've decided to institute a new tradition here at MNPP - every New Years I'm going to give you a list of the best movies that are a decade old. That is, my list looking back at the year from now, not my list as it was ten years ago. I'm especially curious how this'll fare once we get to the years I've already documented lists for with The Golden Trousers, to see how my mind's changed, if my mind's changed, in the decade since, but we've got four years til that starts being a thing - I didn't start the Trousers til 2007. But for now, I totally feel like it's safe to say these are my favorite movies of 2003! (A few runners-up: Peter Pan, Finding Nemo, X2: X-Men United, Memories of Murder, Dogville, The Triplets of Bellville) And now, drum-roll...

10. All the Real Girls

9. Raising Victor Vargas

8. Dirty Pretty Things

7. 28 Days Later

6. Monster

5. Japanese Story

4. Final Destination 2

3. Kill Bill Volume 1

2. Oldboy

1. Lost in Translation

So what's yours???
And happy New Years!

Oh, god, 2003? No competition, it was just a wasteland. There hadn't really been anything worthy of watching for a long time and wouldn't be for a long time.
