Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I found Away We Go to be fairly romantic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I so did not like Let The Right One In. It might qualify for a dysfunctional relationship of the decade, though.
Dana, that is quite the weird list. Gladiator? Really? I enjoyed the movie, but it takes a lot of selling to rank it above so many others. Nice to see Chuck and Buck get a critical mention. Damn, that movie did make me cover my eyes. So uncomfortable.

That list is odd. However, it does make me want to see The Century of the Self.

Sweeney Todd! Sweeney Todd!
(Yes, I wanted those two crazy kids to work it out, and go on making meat pies for years and years.)

Wow. I have only seen three movies on that list! Is that just stats from 2009?

Thanks. You've reminded me of Slumdog, so I'll take that couple as my favorite of the decade!!

Top rentals of the year and how many times they were rented.
I don't think that includes download rentals, just in-store and online. Though I could be wrong.
