Top Ten Films of the Decade

[Jumpman]

Apologies if there is already a thread (couldn't find it it.) but it's time. The decade is coming to a close and it's time to throw down...your top ten of the decade.

I'll have mine up shortly...

No it's not, and there is already a thread like this.

And we spent most of the thread arguing over whether the decade was ending now or not

[Jumpman]

Well, usually it goes something to this affect, 2000-2009. You don't go 2000-2010.

ahhh, the memories.

So that mean that movies made in the decade of the 80s would be 1980-1990...that don't make no sense

2000-2009 all the way!

Yeah, that was a wasted thread and it appears this one is as well. Which is a shame because it could be a great thread.

For future reference when discussing decades, from Dictionary.com

–noun 1. a period of ten years: the three decades from 1776 to 1806.

2. a period of ten years beginning with a year whose last digit is zero: the decade of the 1980s.

3. a group, set, or series of ten.

Wow a decade is 1990-1999 and now 2000-2009. Can't believe people on here do not know this .. When people refer to the 80s decade they certainly are not including 1990 and excluding 1980..

When you count, you don't start behind 0. You don't say, 0, 1, 2, 3...you start AFTER zero, and you progress. 1, 2, 3...

Anyway, it's a nonsense argument. Start from behind the zero, who cares.

agreed, so one second after 11:59:59 on 12/31/2009, the decade is done.
