101207, Compilation says Crouching #8, Daggers #149, Hero #226 of last decade

Those updated rankings (to account for critics' 2011 movie lists) are pulled from the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? site which basically collects lists from predominantly white critics from movie criticism publications like Village Voice, Film Comment, Sight & Sound, indieWire, etc.... http://theyshootpictures.com/21stcentury_allfilms.htm ........ for what it's worth, on that same compiled list, Lord of the Rings:ROTK ranks 28th, Lord of the Rings:FOTR ranks 33rd, and LOTR:Two Towers ranks 57th.

Crouching has placed really well (higher than all 3 Lord of the Rings movies). Hero's rank is much worse than I thought it would be. I thought it would place higher than House of Flying Daggers.


OKPs did a movies of the decade poll in 2009 and only 18 OKPs participated but for shits and giggles:

Crouching ranked 12th with votes by 11 OKPs
Hero ranked 46th with only 4 votes
Daggers didn't make the top 60 and only appeared on 2 ballots


Crouching made Time Magazine's top 10 of the past decade along with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Avatar, Wall-E, Slumdog, Moulin Rouge, etc., but I think only Time movie critics participated in that which is just a handful.
