I like that you also listed your runner-ups (runners-up? run-uppers?). Looks like we had some of the same tough calls.

It's not just you -- for me, the pickings got noticeably slimmer from about the mid-'00s on.

1994: Forrest Gump
1995: GoldenEye
1996: Independence Day
1997: Titanic
1998: The Parent Trap

2001: Philosopher's Stone
2002. Chamber of Secrets
2003: Lost In Translation

2005: Goblet of Fire
2006: Casino Royale
2007: Order of the Phoenix
2008: The Dark Knight
2009: Half-Blood Prince

I strongly went with the mood that I'm in right now. There were quite a few years where I had lots of difficulties to decide. It's very hard to compare certain films with eachother because they're so wildly different.

My favorite out of all of these films would be:

I know 2012 was a bit of a down year, but The Master? Really guys!?!

10 years from now I will have converted you on the Andersons. I'm going to remind you of these moments. When you tried to sully the greatest cinematic achievement of the last ten years.
