10. The Prestige

The most meticulously crafted film of the decade. Christopher Nolan is the true heir to Stanley Kubrick’s throne as the most naturally gifted filmmaker alive





9. The Man Who Wasn’t There

Dry cleaning. Was I crazy to be thinking about it? The Coen Brothers undisputed masterpiece.








8. Hunger

Any film where a wall covered in excrement becomes a thing of beauty is clearly something special










7. The Proposition

The best Western since The Wild Bunch












6. Grizzly Man

For those of us born too late this was our first exposure to Werner Herzog and was literally a life-changing experience










5. Zodiac

The perfect Sunday afternoon film. Never before has the obsessive nature of crime investigation been so well articulated. Still dreaming of a David Fincher/James Ellroy collobaration







4. Dead Man’s Shoes

Paddy Considine is a better actor than De Niro ever was. FACT











3. The Dark Knight

The greatest action movie ever made. The most perfect combination of popular filmmaking and artistic expression since Terminator 2








2, Donnie Darko

The most dazzlingly original debut of all time











1.There Will Be Blood

What else huh?
