Favourite Movies From The 00's

[here is no why]

let's say... list your favourite movies of this past decade, i'm thinking 10 will do... what are yours?

 

i'll see if i can get together a list of my own now that i'm thinking about it.

[AnOceanPearl]

No particular order:

 

The Hurt Locker

Amelie

The Dark Knight

Iron Man

Black Hawk Down

The Bridge

The Departed

Gangs of New York

Pan's Labyrinth

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance

[bishopx]

Every marvel movie, and the two batmans. Nuff said.

[here is no why]

just watched The Departed again last night, such a great movie. Very well written.

The thing that frustrates me about The Departed is that Martin Scorsese gets SO much credit for directing it but in reality, it is hardly any different than Infernal Affairs (which is the Asian movie that it is a remake of)

[AnOceanPearl]

After watching Martyrs, I have to add it to the list. Act one, revenge story. Act two, a bit of "torture porn" for lack of a better term. Act three, philosophical mindfuck. Great film.

[Hyphnip]

My favorite movies of the 00's, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Zombieland

[sodamntired]

Dawn of the Dead. Requiem For A Dream.

I should go on IMDB, remind myself what came out in the 00s.

[Moonlight_Graham]

Der Untergang

The Fog of War

Inconvenient Truth

The 11th Hour

Lord of the Rings trilogy

A Beautiful Mind

Mystic River

Napolean Dynamite

Jackass Number 2 (ya thats right)

Spider-Man 1 & 2

Batman Begins

the 1st 3 Harry Potter flicks.

 

 

It's odd, there aren't a ton of really strong dramas that stand out in my mind from this decade. Though i've yet to see No Country For Old Men & There Will Be Blood. Its been a wicked decade for documentaries and fantasy flicks though.

[sodamntired]

Girl Next Door

Bowling For Columbine

[bishopx]

Girl Next Door definitely

 

Definitely, Maybe

 

The Proposal

 

Pretty Much anything with Ryan Reynolds

 

Both Harold & Kumars

[eclipse]

Memento, by Christopher Nolan. Excellent stuff =)

[sodamntired]

27 Dresses...I know chickflick, sue me.

[here is no why]

No Country For Old Men is such a great film. Haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet though, always wanted to. Both would definitley be on my list of bests from the decade.

How can it make your best list if you haven't seen it? BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THE HYPE but seriously it is great, the stark soundtrack absolutely makes the film.

 

I really enjoyed last year's Let the Right One In, creepy little swedish vampire film.

I still enjoy watching The Prestige from time to time, and also Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel come to life Persepolis is just brilliant.

Let the Right One In is fantastic! After seeing that and Martyrs (even though Martyrs is a joint France/Canada production), I have decided that European horror-type movies trump most everything that is produced in North America.
