Well you have your opinion. Do you agree that there were 10 better films in the past 12 years than The Social Network?

Yes, but it is up there.

Ahly, you're under-rating The Social Network terribly here. Out of the ones you listed, these are the only ones I'd say are the same level as The Social Network:
Anchorman
Slumdog Millionaire
The Departed
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Slumdog Millionaire
Cast Away
Crash
The Pursuit of Happiness

Even if we were to say that all those films were better than The Social Network (which they aren't, by the way), you'd still only have 9. Plus, I've got the backing of the administrator, so I believe I automatically win.

I'd say Batman Begins and TDK are both better than The Social Network as well.

Not of all time, just in 2000 and beyond. There are much better movies from the 1990s and 1980s.

You are seriously overrating The Social Network. What was so damn exceptional about it?

Everything. Acting, dialogue, direction, contemporary relevance to this generation... What is it that you didn't like about it?

I didn't say I didn't like it. It was actually a great movie. But you are overrating it.

You gave it a 9 so there surely must have been something you didn't like about it. Explain yourself.
@El_indian, I don't see the problem,

The Social Network is a great movie but The Dark Knight is phenomenal.

Both are phenomenal, but TSN is more phenomenal.

Trolling?! You guys are saying this as if saying TSN is better than TDK is some sort of outlandish statement. Go on then, what makes The Dark Knight so much better?

Whaaat?
Acting - Heath Ledger's performance in TDK is miles above any in TSN. And all the other performances were good too.
Relevance to this generation - I think it is more relevant because of the more realistic world the films are set in. There's less of the fantastical comic book stuff in and it's more gritty.

The Green Lantern. Decent, thought it ended a bit early tbh...didn't seem like there was enough in the story.
Casino Jack. Quite an intellectual film....quite a lot of people would be completely lost watching this. Still....it's quite a clever plot and it's interesting to see what kind of things a Lobbyist would do on a day-to-day basis.....

Past ten years? Personally, I'd put all of these ahead:
The Departed
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
There Will Be Blood
The Aviator
Dark Night
The Pianist
V for Vendetta
Blood Diamond
Eastern Promises
LOTR Pt. 3
The Hurt Locker
A Beautiful Mind
That's just off the top of my head though, there are probably many more.

Ledger's performance isn't miles above any in TSN. Anyway, the ensemble cast of TSN was much more impressive than TDK.
Maybe TDK is more relevant to this generation than Adam West's Batman or Tim Burton's, but it certainly doesn't have more contemporary value than TSN. TSN will be remembered in the future as the film that defined an era, like The Godfather.

With films like these and the ones I highlighted in Ahly's list, it just becomes subjective.

Facebook and Twitter may be remembered as the social networks that may have "defined an era," I don't know to what extent the film you're referring to will...
