Movies of the Decade

10. Almost Famous (2000)
Probably the best semi-fictional movie about a seventies band. Everyone loves the “Tiny Dancer” sequence or the “Golden God” scene but they’re way overrated. Best Scene: Anything with Lester Bangs.

Would have been higher but I hated the ending. DON’T MAKE ME THINK! Best scene:

The Dark Knight

I’m so serious right now.

This review is so unnecessary. Of course The Dark Knight is awesome. So awesome that it’s easily the best movie of the year and probably the most entertaining and enjoyable film of the past five years. There’s really not much more I need to say. Just go see the movie.
