"There Will Be Blood" named greatest film of the decade (before Avatar)

There Will Be Blood topped a magazine rundown to find the best movie of the 2000s.

The 2007 drama, which starred Daniel Day-Lewis and won two Academy Awards, was rated as the greatest film of the last ten years by experts at Total Film magazine.

The Dark Knight, released in 2008 and starring late actor Heath Ledger, was named Blockbuster of the Decade, while 2001 hit Donnie Darko was lauded as the top cult movie of the last ten years.

The publication's deputy editor, Jamie Graham, says, "The Total Film selections were designed to identify the films that have most shaped the landscape of modern mainstream cinema."

Avatar has since beaten all records but, more about that later.
