Phillips-Scott Update - Week 3

At the Movies co-hosts Michael Phillips and AO Scott have selected Mulholland Drive and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, respectively, as their #8 film of the decade. My only complaint is neither is high enough since they were #1 & #2 on my list well into 2007. Scott loses points by dumping on Lynch's masterpiece, but at least he chosen a great (let alone good) film this time. On their website, you can choose your own personal favorite. Readers currently have voted the top ten as . . .

1. WALL-E
2. There Will Be Blood
3. The Dark Knight
4. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
5. The Departed
6. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
7. Mulholland Dr.
8. No Country For Old Men
9. Pan's Labyrinth
10. Children of Men

Not bad. Power to the people, well, at least the people visiting and voting on their website.

Obviously the voters have short term memory problems like Sammy Jankis with only Mulholland Dr., ESOTSM, and LOTR:ROTK showing up in the first 6 years of the decade, the last one probably substituting for the trilogy like it's Oscar win. I'll take Finding Nemo and The Incredibles easily over WALL-E.
