top ten by decade

We're having a little vacation starting tomorrow, so I won't be posting for a week or so. In the mean time, here is an enormous list - my top ten high-scoring feature films by decade. (Note: These aren't necessarily my favorite films, and they're not necessarily the ones I think are best. They're the ones that have the highest scores, averaging my "subjective" and "objective" ratings. Also note: These lists are limited to movies I've watched since I started movie blogging about four years ago.)
