Lance and I have been making best of the year lists for movies since 2005, so we thought it be fun (horrible) to make lists compiling our favourites from the decade, now that our tastes have refined some in the past 5 years (to put this in perspective, our favourite movies from our first list included Star Wars Episode III, Pirates of the Caribbean II, and War of the Worlds).

So here are our lists, compiled separately, whereas our best of 2009 lists will be decided by committee.
