My Top For BD

This week at Bloody Disgusting we have been posting our top 20 films of the decade. The way we figured it out is each writer (13 in all) submitted their own top 20 of the decade, and then the movies were tallied. For each list, the top movie gets 20 points, the 2nd movie gets 19 points, all the way down to the 20th movie on each list getting 1 point. Then, the movie points were added together and the movie with the most points (Let The Right One In) got the #1 slot. 2nd most points - #2 slot, and going down. And then of course everyone bitched at certain movies being left off the list or being on there at all. So I thought I'd post my own personal top 20, so maybe the final vote would make a little more sense to the BD readers (if they happen to be reading this). Note how many of my picks (even high up ones) did not make the final list. This is due to that film or films not being voted highly or at all on enough of the other writers' lists. In short - there was no bias or anything, it was all based entirely on math and a consensus of EVERYONE'S own personal vote. Enjoy! Flame away!

NOTE - Personally, I don't really like ranking films over a long period of time, because nostalgia and other factors sometime overshadow my actual feeling of the film at the time. For example, I loved Devil's Rejects when I saw it, but my souring on Rob himself for Halloween has left me feeling less warm and fuzzy about it over time. Without Halloween, Rejects might have been higher. Likewise, High Tension was a film I borderline DISLIKED when I saw it, but over time I've gone to appreciate it more. In short, it's REALLY HARD to rank an entire decade like this, so this list might completely change in a year, and again in five years. But I stand by, at least, as REALLY LIKING all of these movies, so let's leave it at that, lol.
NOTE 2 - Because I find it so hard to rank things, the last few slots were pretty much just coin tosses with other movies I liked just as much, including Repo, Dog Soldiers, Saw III, Wrong Turn 2, The Orphanage, Midnight Meat Train, Feast, and Orphan. But as they would have all been worth only 1-3 points for the overall list, it wouldn't have mattered anyway (i.e. The Ring would still have been on the list, and Repo would not)

1 The Descent(20 points)
2 Inside (19 points)
3 The Mist
4 Let The Right One In
5 Trick r Treat
6 Hatchet
7 Hostel
8 Shaun Of The Dead
9 Session 9
10 The Devil's Backbone (11 points)
11 Paranormal Activity (10 points)
12 Dawn of the Dead
13 Pan's Labyrinth
14 Saw
15 The Devil's Rejects
16 Drag Me To Hell
17 The Ring
18 High Tension
19 Pitch Black (2 points)
20 Cloverfield (1 point)
