    Going with the theme of the 90's movie thread, what moves earlier in this decade were your favorites?

    Eurotrip was balls. Highly disappointing!

    Lost In Translation was slow going but a smart comedy. Love this movie.

    Another smart comedy I liked is 'Sideways' with Paul Giamatti. "I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!"

    Since I have toddlers and I'm forced to watch a stupid amount of kids films, I'd also add Ratatouille and Up. Those two and WALL-E are the only three kids films from this decade I can stand to watch as repeatedly as the kids demand.

    I didn't include Where the Wild Things Are in my prior post because I don't really think of it as a kid's film, although kids like it. It's really more of an honest window for adults to see how terrifying and weird and other-worldly being a kid can be. It's amazing how easy it is to forget.

    "The Lives of Others" or "Das Leben Der Anderen". The best German movie since "Das Boot".

    i was talking to someone about this movie tonight. i have yet to see it but the only people who say good things about it seem to be the critics and random people on sites like this one. no one i know personally, who has seen the movie, has anything good to say about it.
