25 Best Movies of the Decade: 10

"What I say is true; anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great."

10. Ratatouille(2007)

Remy, gifted with a keen sense of smell and taste and the innate ability to cook, has the aspiration to become a great French chef. There's only one problem: Remy, for all his gifts, is the greatest enemy of any kitchen: a rat.

I think what makes Ratatouille so great is that it's not a WALL-E or an Up. It's a film that's on a smaller scale. It's just a rat who wants to be a great cook, inspired by the words of a deceased chef. But it's hard not to enjoy it and to see the obvious fun director Brad Bird had in making the movie. And the mix of fun animation and storytelling is able to make this film into some form of artwork.
