EGADS! Additional film for Best of Decade!

I have to add a 21st film to my best of decade. I cannot BELIEVE I forgot this one, and rather than try to figure out what to drop, I have to just add another one. That's okay. It's the 21st century, and being a 21st century girl, I'm allowed to alter my own arbitrary rules.

So! The 21st film is.....

I'm Not There (2007) -- Let me say that I am not a huge Bob Dylan fan. My husband is, though, and therefore I kept putting off watching I'm Not There until very recently. I was astonished by how unbelievably good it was. The layered storytelling, which is more inspired by history than historical, it captures the changing spirit of American music and its on and off relationship with political activism and youth identity in the late 20th century. The whole concept of having six fine actors as the varied faces of the same character -- who is, in fact, a real live person -- is incredible, and the fact that it works is truly genius. This is one film that got a ridiculous amount of hype and actually deserved it.
