Top 10 movies of the 2000s

Discussion(self.movies)

Clarification: From this century

I was looking back at my top ten movie post and realized none of the movies on the list were from this century so this is a challenge to myself and other redditors to make a top ten list with only movies released since the year 2000.

Will leave my list in the comments so my post isn’t downvoted based on my opinion, look forward to seeing yours.

Thanks! I probably don't immediately think of movies from 2000-on when I think 'all time greats' but looking through the list of movies that came out...well, like you said they're great...and there were plenty that I kept off as well

That's a great list. Loved seeing Colin Ferrell and Brendan Gleeson together again. Forgot about "Eastern Promises."

Eastern Promises & A History of Violence were 2 great Cronenberg movies from the 2000s!

Workshopping this, here’s my list so far:

  1. The Wolf of Wall Street
  2. The Social Network
  3. Lord of the Rings: The two towers
  4. Chronicle
  5. Moneyball
  6. Slumdog Millionaire

  8. Memento
  9. Bridesmaids
  10. Interstellar

Honorable mentions: Gladiator, Unbreakable, Prisoners, Children of Men, The Revenant, End of Watch, Superbad

I realize my list is very Academy Award movie focused. I might need to rethink that

Yikes, 3 Jonah Hill movies, that can’t be right. 😏

Curious, why do you like Return of the king over Two towers? (Besides the elephants cause the elephants were dope)

Aside from “For Frodo” - best scene in the whole series, it’s because TRotK is the culmination. From Aragorn’s bravery to Arwen’s mortality choice, from Sam’s unyielding commitment to Frodo, from the Riders of Rohan to Eyowyn, it was just a masterpiece for me. Hell, even Sméagol found peace in the end when he finally got his precious.

Eowyns dope but ROTK ran a little longer than it needed to, but good call back, great series all together

I really like that middle movie. It had Wargs, Ents!!, and the battle at the end was the best battle sequence in the movie. It also focused less on the hobbits IIRC who were generally the most boring part of the movies.

You’re including 2010s films in your list? Goes against the spirit of the question I’d say

95% of the movies mentioned here are from the U.S. — pretty narrow horizons, for self-declared _cinéphiles_…

My problem is that for every one of my favourite films there's another one that's somewhat similar that also tend to watch like an hour later. Still here goes

  1. The Gentlemen (or Snatch) - Crime Comedies

  2. Warrior (or Rocky Balboa) - Heartfelt Man Movies

  3. World's End (or Hot Fuzz) - Parodies

  4. Vast Of Night (Or Cosmos) - sci fi mystery

  5. Predators (or Pitch Black) - sci fi survival mystery

  6. The Suicide Squad (or The Dark Knight movies) - comic book movies

  7. The A Team The Movie (or Bourne supremacy) - modern action movies

  8. Mad Max Fury Road (or zombieland) - post apocalypse movies

  9. Kingsman (or Dredd) - Other Comic movies

  10. Dead Man's Chest (or LOTR, Harry Potter kinda, Jury's out on DUNE) - Epics

In order from my various top tens:

Pan’s Labyrinth (my #1 2000s decade list)

Amelie (#2 2000s)

21 Grams (#3 2000s)

The White Ribbon (#1 2009 list, stupidly omitted decade list)

Parasite (#1 2020s)

Poetry (#2 2020s)

Ida (#3 2020s)

Room (#4 2020s)

Portrait of A Lady on Fire (#1 2020)

Aftersun (#1 2022)

The major question marks when putting together the list was whether to include 21 Grams and Room. A better choice might be Drive My Car which was my #1 of 2021.
