Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge has been voted Best Film of the Decade in a poll conducted by LOVEFiLM.
The 2001 musical - which starred Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman - topped a survey of 150,000 movie fans, narrowly beating Batman epic The Dark Knight and British zombie spoof Shaun of the Dead.
Two movies from the Lord of the Rings franchise - Fellowship of the Ring (#4) and Return of the King (#6) - also made the list.

REVIEW: ‘Across the Universe’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adventure, Independent, Music, Musicals, Period, Political, Romance, New Releases, Theatrical Reviews,
When I first heard the words Julie Taymor, The Beatles and musical linked in the same sentence, I immediately etched the title Across the Universe into my brain. Without even glimpsing a trailer, I knew I had to see the film. I was raised on The Fab Four and was curious to see what Taymor, the award-winning director behind the stage production of The Lion King, would do with their library. After months of waiting, I knew from the minute I heard Jim Sturgess’ haunting vocal on the opener (‘Girl’) that this would be a special event.
The movie centers around a dock worker from Liverpool, England (Jude) who travels to America in the early ‘60s to find the father he never met. He quickly befriends a rich college dropout (Max) and later falls in love with his younger sister (Lucy). All three eventually end up in New York where their lives become tied to the anti-war movement.
