riczhang Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I will have you know that it's an extremely well made and classy top 10 list. And I can tell you that by the end of the decade maybe half this list will be Haneke films depending on how many he's made. His films have never failed to make a top 10 of the decade list.

Gopher Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) 1. Tinker Tailor Soldier SpyThis just missed my top 10 in 2011. It's an odd film... I recognize that there's greatness in it, but it left me quite cold. I had no emotional reaction to it. Which is, suitably enough, how many people thought about The Master. Different strokes I suppose. Edited January 15, 2013 by Gopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no emotional reaction to it. Which is, suitably enough, how many people thought about The Master. Different strokes I suppose.I have the very unpopular opinion that it's all time great. Knee-Jerk reaction had it in top 10 all time. I've cooled down somewhat from then but it's still all-time great in my opinion. They took a bloated book and cut it down to size and the result was well acted, well paced, well scripted, and better than the original source material IMO.And I got an emotional payoff at the end when the threads began to be tied up. The La Mer scene at the end is just pure genius best of the year by far. Edited January 15, 2013 by riczhang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Oh it's definitely well-acted, well-paced, and gorgeously rendered. And La Mer is definitely one of the best scenes of 2011. I should watch that movie again... maybe I'll understand what they're saying this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4815162342 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 By decade so far do you mean 2010 to present or 2011 to present (since the prior decade could be 2000-2009 or 2001-2010 depending on view). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I've always considered decades to be 2000-2009, 2010-2019 and so on. True Grit is a great, great film yet it's not even in my top five for Coens. I think those two have produced more masterpieces than any American filmmaker working today, though a case could be made for Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson.

Logic indicates there can't be a Year 0 since the first day we'd take note of time would be the first day of the first year (Year 1).
