Like any list, it's always interesting to see where I overlap with the picks. I think my favorite Bill Murray film last decade was LOST IN TRANSLATION, although LIFE AQUATIC was pretty nuts. TEAM AMERICA is one of those so-over-the-top experiences it has to be some sort of classic.

I also dug the two Will Ferrel comedies you picked. For comic book flicks, I'd definitely put SPIDER-MAN and AMERICAN SPLENDOR on my list, and also SPEED RACER (for anime/manga adaptation!).

Really, I'd have to see lists for each film of the last 10 years to help remind me!
