Wellington, Jan 10 (ANI): ‘Moulin Rouge!’, the 2001 musical - which starred Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman and was directed by Baz Luhrmann - has pipped Batman epic ‘The Dark Knight’ to be named best film of the decade.
The film topped a survey of 150,000 movie fans, narrowly beating Batman epic ‘The Dark Knight’ and British zombie spoof ‘Shaun of the Dead’ into second and third place respectively, reports Stuff.co.nz.
Helen Cowley - editor of DVD rental service LOVEFILM, who carried out the survey - said: “‘Moulin Rouge!’ can’t claim to be on the same scale as some of its epic counterparts.
“But its place as the No 1 film of the decade goes to show that original cinematography, a solid love story and a creative soundtrack can truly stand the test of time.”
The Top 20 Films of the Decade according to LOVEFILM:
1. ‘Moulin Rouge!’ (2001)2. ‘The Dark Knight’ (2008)3. ‘Shaun of the Dead’ (2004)4. ‘The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring’ (2001)5. ‘Gladiator’ (2000)6. ‘The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King’ (2003)7. ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ (2006)8. ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ (2003)9. ‘Donnie Darko’ (2001)10. ‘WALL-E’ (2008)11. ‘Kill Bill Parts 1 and 2′ (2003 and 2004)12. ‘Casino Royale’ (2006)13. ‘Shrek’ (2001)14. ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’ (2007)15. ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ (2009)16. ‘Batman Begins’ (2005)17. ‘Memento’ (2000)18. ‘Amelie’ (2001)19. ‘Sin City’ (2005)20. ‘Finding Nemo’ (2003).
