I agree, if you are going to make a poll of the decade. Think about the whole decade. Yeah, it's a shame the Oceans triliogy didn't make it in. Love those movies. Logged

That's it! District 9 is the winner of films. Followed in joint 2nd by Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Carribean.

Little fact : Did you know that Peter Jackson worked on both District 9 and Lord of the Rings?

I will post again when the game poll is done

EDIT: The vote for the game of the decade has begun! Start voting!

Barely. It just got a video release this month.

It's different to say something like "The Matrix" is part of the 00s, because it's not since it got both a theatrical release and video release in the 90s; this however is right inbetween.

It's also a bit pretentious to say a film that has only had theater sales is "the best movie of the decade", since a good chunk of its sales are going to come from home video sales.

It's just funny that movies that are pretty generic make their way up there due to release hype that's still going on from the time it was released (meaning it was released waaay too soon for it to be right to even have it up there), but great movies like Pan's Labyrinth are nowhere to be seen

Here's a good list of movies from the decade, since everyone nominated something on a whim

Also, Final Fantasy should be broken down into individual titles

there were quite a few this past decade, and they're all pretty different from one another <_<

Regardless of DVD or not, it was still released in the last decade. The movie was RELEASED to PUBLIC viewing. You can argue technicalities over DVD release all you want, but it'd be pretty illogical because the movie was still RELEASED last year. Logged

Yeah that is something that not everyone agrees on, because it creates a serious flaw. The western calender is based on the year that Jesus Christ was born. Thus, when the calender starts from 1 A.D and before that is called -1 B.C., you are skipping a number. Not to mention that Jesus Christ would have been born as a 1 year old. Staying in the womb for 1 year and 9 months is a freaking long time.

Additionally, 2000 was also considered the turning point of the millennium, by billions. Thus making 2011 the turning point for the decade, would mean the decade contains 11 years.

But like I said, not everyone agrees on it and the philosophical debates are still on going. "Wooh technicalities

"

First of all, use B.C.E. and C.E., not B.C. and A.D. We're all adults here.

(It's not negative 1 B.C.E, it's just 1 B.C.E.) There is no skipped number. Stop thinking in terms of age. Think of numbers—you don't start counting with zero, you start with one. Year 1 is the first year of the Common Era, there's no 0th year.

It's that simple: First Year of the Common Era = 1 C.E.

Years before the Common Era are counted the same way, only you're counting back in time instead of forward. The first year before 1 C.E. is 1 B.C.E.

1 B.C.E. = First Year Before the Common Era.

Lol what do sales have to do with it? Being the best has nothing to do with tickets or dvd's sold. that said, I dunno if it should be on this list. Logged

They most definitely don't mean the same thing. They refer to the same periods of time. B.C. means before Christ. B.C.E. means before common era. A.D. means Anno Domini, whereas C.E. just means common era. People who don't share the same religious views as certain religions probably care what you call them. Just saying...
