25 Best Movies of the Decade: 3

"Computer, define 'dancing'"


3. WALL-E(2008)

Let's just face it right now. If the second half of WALL-E was like the first half of WALL-E, it might be the greatest animated film ever made. Instead it just has to deal with being a film with breathtaking visuals and the most adorable first act of any film.

When the opening of a movie is a camera zooming through space set to music from "Hello, Dolly!," it's apparent that this is not like any other Pixar flick. And sure enough, we spend about 45 minutes seeing a relationship blossom between two characters who do not officially have real dialogue. It's hard not to find the growing love between the old, broken-down WALL-E and the sleek EVE an utterly precious love story.

It's debatable whether this is Pixar's best work or not, but you'd be hard pressed to actually hate it.
