Topic: Top 10 Films
Chris Curry	Original topic created on Fri, October 5th, 2007 @ 1:12PM It’s almost ridiculous to try and agree on the top 10 movies of the past few years, but maybe the top three is possible. Cast your vote for the top three films of the past few years and I’ll tally them up and we’ll watch them on Sundays. Here are a couple of top 10 sites from ‘06 (below). My top three: Pan’s Labyrynth/Babel/Eternal Sundshine of the Spotless Mind.

Laura McCreary	Posted on Sat, October 13th, 2007 @ 8:34AM by Laura McCreary It's tough to narrow it down to 3 movies. My picks are Garden State, Hotel Rwanda, and Little Miss Sunshine with honorable mentions for Stranger Than Fiction and Crash. All of these movies had an impact on me but the impact from the top three has lingered and lingered over the years. I can say that Hotel Rwanda changed my world view so that was some pretty powerful stuff in that movie.
