Okay not all of the last ten years have been Top but they certainly are Late. I was startled to realize it had been a decade since I listed my ten favorite movies, and there has been a bit of a shuffle, most significantly affected by the realization that I am a different person and that things catering to my narrow demographic no longer carry as much appeal. Some of these are pretty ossified regardless, though. I look different than I used to, but I still have all my own bones.*

  1. Hackers
  2. Brick
  3. Spirited Away
  4. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
  5. Alien
  6. While You Were Sleeping
  7. Moonlight
  8. Dancer in the Dark
  9. Sneakers
  10. Wall-E

Fighting it out just below the 9/10 zone: Toy Story 3, Grosse Point Blank, Punch-Drunk Love, The Matrix. Movies that might work their way up in another ten years: Moana, Arrival, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
