Best Films of the 2000's

I think this is why I have left Rescue Dawn up at the top of my netflix queue but keep bumping it down in favor of something else ... I loved Dieter so much that I sort of want to leave it there. It doesn't make any sense.

Same reason I never watched it.  It may be really good but I couldn't see it improving on Little Dieter, although I may eventually get to it.  

I'm glad to see a few people listing The 25th Hour. I thought that was great and it doesn't seem to get mentioned much. Barry Pepper, what's up with that guy's career?

Yeah, it really flourishes at the end, which is fairly rare.   Pepper was good in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which would be in my top 50.

Haven't seen "Burials"! It's on my to see-list.

I'm going through the same thing with Grey Gardens.

Chopper and The Fall both deserve a hearty mention on any top 100 of the '00s list, I think.

But the correct answer to this thread is The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford.

Me, too on Little Dieter.

I think Lives of Others is tops of 2000's.

I really liked Love Liza -- the Philip Seymour Hoffman gas-huffer movie.

Me too. I don't really hate Drew Barrymore or anything but I just don't think she can pull this one off. Has anyone here seen it?

Loved Chopper a LOT but I squirmed and fidgeted thru Assassination of Jesse James.

That list has made me realize how many movies I've missed this decade.

Burials was great, you got to love the Levon Helm scenes.

No one liked The Fountain much?

It had its faults, like the tai chi in space, and some of the more cheesy moments like that near the end, but I found it ridiculously endearing and sweet. And, of course, it was beautifully shot and acted. A close friend of mine died a little before the movie came out, so that might have made it a little more cathartic for me.

[Ignore Function]

Good lists.  I would add  Divine Intervention, The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, and Big Man Japan

[roubaix]

I just remembered Taxidermia, grotesquely amazing!

The space tai chi kind of made me... well, turn it off.

Seriously, Monster in Law?

I would have replaced Jeepers Creepers with Jeepers Creepers 2. Going with the original makes me want to rethink my whole position on Omar.
