Good topic. Unfortunately the 00's weren't nearly as good as the 90's for movies but still a lot of quality stuff out there. So yeah in no particular order except for #1 which might be the most powerful film I've ever seen. And I'm sure this list is wrong because I'm forgetting something

3. Finding Nemo
4. The Departed
5. Big Fish
6. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
7. V For Vendetta

13. Casino Royale
14. Punch Drunk Love
15. Batman Begins
16. The Dark Knight
17. Little Miss Sunshine
18. American Psycho
19. Mulholland Dr.
20. Almost Famous

Still haven't seen No Country For Old Men

glad you can understand what "no particular order" means

Also, gonna draw some heat here but I thought Batman Begins was as good or better than the Dark Knight.

Yeah I was thinking of putting it up there, but Heath's performance just did it for me.

I thought BB was a better movie.

Dark Knight is pretty overrated outside of the performances in it.

I think the 00s were far better than the 90s for movies

I didn't read the first post

Surprised about his number 1 choice, although I can't comment on the film itself as I haven't seen it yet, haven't seen number 2 as well. The only movie on the list I don't like is Juno. I didn't think 25th Hour was all that great either.

1. Gladiator
2. O Brother Where Art Thou
3. 300
4. Running Scared
5. The Ring
6. Man on Fire
7. Taladega Nights
8. 40 Year Old Virgin

17. Garden State
18. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
19. Taken
20. The Dark Knight
