I did my top movies so far this decade HERE. I wanted to continue on and do a list for my top movies from 2000-2009. That was when I really started getting into movies a lot and got into more and more genres. Love so many movies from this time. Like I posted in the other thread, this was really damn hard. I was pretty solid on my top 75 or so, but narrowing down the last 25 was near impossible. If I did this a month from now I would probably shift stuff even more. My initial list was hovering around 180 movies, so I started watching a bunch to try to narrow it down. There were several surprises of movies that both made and didn't make the list.
A few quick things before I start:
- I still didn't include documentaries. I rate just about all I see quite high and this list would have been saturated with them. I do plan on catching up on some and doing a list of just docs later.
- I didn't restrict myself other than that - sequels, remakes, foreign, whatever else made the list. Actually probably about 15 foreign movies on the list.
- This list has a lot more variety than the last one - there are actually quite a few comedy and horror movies, and a handful of action. The top part of the list might get snobbier though
- I tried to treat this list list a desert island collection. Which 100 movies from the decade would I take along. I am not claiming anything here is "the best", just what I rated highly and enjoy.
- I still don't like Wes Anderson and Coen Brother comedies, so don't hold your breath for any of them.
- This will go a little slower than the last one. I am still watching some in the top 1/2 as I go to make sure I have rankings right.
- Would love to see guesses as we go what the top 10 will be.
I will update this page every 20 movies or so for a quick reference of the countdown:
