This week’s home video releases include a Bruce Willis action flick, a new entry to the “Saw” franchise and Drew Barrymore’s first feature as a director, but it’s a documentary about late pop star Michael Jackson that leads the pack in terms of both quality and stature.

Kristoffer Polaha in "Life Unexpected."

The reason? Artistic endeavors aren’t designed to be competitive, and top 10 lists have an inherently competitive spirit.
Imagine, then, the difficulty in coming up with a list of the top 10 films of an entire decade. When trying to complete this task for the years 2000-09, it occurred to me that I might be attempting the impossible.
Still, I trudged forward, whittling a once-lengthy pool of contenders to the modest collection of movies you see below.
