Best Films of the Decade
Fri., Jan. 7, 2000
No consensus is a good consensus. Given the absurdity of narrowing down 10 years' worth of films into a Top 10 list, we're delighted to find there are few overwhelming favorites. Pulp Fiction appears on four out of five lists, and such titles as The Silence of the Lambs, GoodFellas, When We Were Kings, The Sweet Hereafter, Unforgiven, Trainspotting, and American Beauty appear on at least two or more lists. No attempt was made to combine these into a group tabulation, and individual lists are not necessarily given in numerical order of preference.
