So, it’s been a busy month with votes coming in by the thousand but now that New Years Day has arrived we’ve been able to collate all your votes to give you the definitive list of movies that you believe defined the decade.
I’ll be looking at the top 10 in more depth below but you can download the entire list of movies by opening this Pdf. So, read on to find out which movies you believe most defined the decade.
Let us know your thoughts on the top 10 in the comments below. One question I have: If Avatar has come out earlier in the decade, would it have made your top 10 films of the past 10 years? Personally it would make it into my top 10 of 2009. Possibly even be number one.
10. There Will Be Blood (2007)
Director: Paul Thomas Anderson
Cast: Daniel Day-Lewis / Mary Elizabeth Barrett / Paul Dano / Dillon Freasier
