The below is a list of the quasi-Siskel and Ebert's picks for this
decade. I thought the list was silly, especially with Spike Lee's
25th Hour which is so overrated.

On the other hand, this wasn't a great decade for films. Everybody
has such a different list - that says something.

Ebert's own #1 was Synedoche which I thought was long and pointless,
but it's possible I wasn't looking at it the right way. I prefer
David Lynch's Mulholland Dr., another film which was long and
confusing until you get it.

Avoid normal situations.

If it *was* a great decade, wouldn't there be so many masterpieces from
which to choose that everybody's list would be different in that case as
well?
