Does anyone reckon they could compile a list of their 10 favourite films to be released since 2000? I post mine later when I've had a think, but I'd be interested to see some other lists cause there's bound to be some great films from this decade I've missed out on seeing, in fact I'm sure there are loads. So fire away, if you think you can pick ten films worth seeing since 2000....(they can be good or 'bad' type of good :smile:)
Picking just ten will be tough, but I'll give it a try:
2000 Battle Royale
2000 Ginger Snaps
2001 Ghost World
2002 Insomnia
2003 Kill Bill 1
2003 Azumi
2004 Dawn of the Dead
2005 Hard Candy
2006 Idiocracy
2007 Grindhouse
And that's not including two Batman movies and three Lord of the Rings movies, all of which I like.
Batman Begins
Pan's Labrynth
The Orphanage
Lars and the Real Girl
Elvira's Haunted Hills - Seen this a few times, I can tell you... :wink:
Superman Returns - Look, I like it alright, leave me alone...
Kairo
The Bourne Supremacy
Slither
Dawn of the Dead
thanks fellas, appreciate the replies. a few I haven't heard of in there already. still thinking about my list
any more.........
1.the DEVIL'S REJECTS-I know there's a lot of dislike for this film on this forum...but I LOVE it. A great cast,good music....and truly horrifiying. It's a HORROR movie.
2.SLITHER- I agree with Dogget...this is a good ol' fashioned monster movie that reminds me of the old 1950's films. No overly serious torture crap like SAW or HOSTEL...just a good popcorn flik!
3.KILL BILL 1+2-I know it's self indulgent on Tarintino's part. But it's got lotsa cool actors and lotsa action.
3.MONSTER-The story of serial killer Aileen Wuornos. Watch it.
4.INCIDENT AT LOCH NESS-Is it a documentary? Mockumentary? Director Werner Herzog and a team of filmakers go in search of the Loch Ness monster.
5.this is really difficult! I...I can't think of no mo'!

Did you see Rob Zombie's first flick,
House of 1,000 Corpses? It follows the Firefly family before the events of Devil's Rejects. Pretty decent if you haven't seen it.
In no particular order, and for various reasons:
Cabin Fever
The Dark Knight
Pineapple Express
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Party Monster
Devil's Rejects
Saw
The Rundown
Shaun of The Dead
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Normally, I absolutely hate newer horror movies, but High Tension was a pleasant surprise. Clerks 2 was great as well.
Quote from: voltron on April 23, 2009, 05:49:50 PM

I love this movie.
Having finally seen it, I think SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE would also be a candidate for the list. Nothing really earth-shattering, but very good storytelling.
Not much animated movies mention. I'll just pick the 10 best ones in no order.
Finding Nemo, Wall-E, The Simpsons Movie, The Incredibles, Shrek, Howl's Moving Castle, Treasure Planet, Persepolis, Kung Fu Panda, and Spirited Away

RC, you are always excused :smile:
My top 10 is
Pan's Labyrinth
Bourne Identity
LOTR Two Towers
Casino Royale
Ong Bak
The Departed
District 9
Sin City
Anchorman
Hero
also worth mentioning are Seven Swords, Blood Diamond, Iron Man and Cloverfield
That I've seen and why I love them
not in order
Gamera the Brave (2006)
One Gamera is awesome, Two the New Gamera movies are awesome, Three the battle scenes are awesome. In other words, this movie is awesome. Too bad Gamera's new look makes him look like kind of a wuss. :-(
Musa (2001)
Great Korean Action film. Winner at the Fant-Asia Film Festival. Great characters, bloody as hell... Even my friends who usually hate foreign films love this movie. Check it out if you get the chance.
Dagon (2001)
Im sucker for this film. It's a guilty pleasure I know.
Janghwa, Hongryeon (2003) - A tale of Two Sisters
The American remake was blah. Yah, who would have thought that? The original though is a surrealistic masterpiece.
Downfall (2004)
Great German film with some version with some DVD's with bad subtitles floating around. Great acting, great directing, scenery, atmosphere, just one of the best movies to come out in a long long time.
Metoroporisu (2001) - Metropolis
I usually hate anime, but the story here is brilliant and has a lot of heart to it. If you ever get to see it watch it with the Japanese Voice actors and with subtitles. The American kids are alright but the two Japanese kids are just amazing.
4 Inyong shiktak (2003) - Uninvited
Weird, weird Korean film. It's a love or hate movie, and Im not even sure if I even love it. It just burned itself into my memory for some reason.
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002)
I'm a huge Godzilla fan as you probably could guess, and although the Millennium series is not one of my favorite Godzilla run, but getting to see a Godzilla movie in the theater for the first and only time with the release of Godzilla 2000 was a treat, so I choose my favorite among the Millennium series to put here... and Yumiko Shaku is in it and that's enough right there. Godzilla and Shaku what more do you need on a Saturday night?
Shark Attack 3 (2002)
You have be a genius to make a movie this bad. One thing this movie is not is boring. It's brilliant from start to finish. And Jaws is one of my favorite movies of all time so watching this was like watching Angels having sex with Leprechauns - wrong in every way but you just can't stop watching.
Planet Earth (2006)
It's not a movie I know but better then most movies I've ever seen.
Quote from: Thorn Is on August 30, 2009, 11:53:46 PMMetoroporisu (2001)

Just to make your recommendation more accessible the correct English is simply "Metropolis", most people mightn't get the phonetic Japanese.
Thanks

cool, would be interested to see this considering you all like it, but I did a search and apparently it's by the same people that did Switchblade Romance. I haven't seen Switchblade Romance but yesterday I watched a film called P2 about a girl who gets stalked in a car park and it says on the DVD "from the makers of Switchblade Romance" - but P2 was rubbish, not impressed at all. have I got this mixed up somehow?

I'm quite sure Switchblade Romance is an alternate title of High Tension. I highly reccomend it. It's a nice old fasioned slasher/ horror flick.
ok in that case I will endeavour to check it out.
seems like the majority of posters on here know what they're talking about.
I would still advise anyone to avoid "P2" like the plague though...
Many of mine have been posted, but to add:
Mulholland Drive (2001)
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
Saw (and only the first one)

I've seen both P2 and High Tension. P2 was rubbish, gotta agree with you there, but High Tension is a great horror flick. :thumbup:
I wouldn't know how to order these..
So, in NO PARTICULAR ORDER...
Speed Racer - I love this film. What more is there to say?
The Dark Knight
The Hidden Blade - Immensely humanistic and satisfying along with...
The Twilight Samurai - Very similar, almost the same story, but both are great.
Wall-E - Great story, great characters, great animation.
The Incredibles - Probably my favorite CG film.
City of God - Great style, and a great story.
Equilibrium
Ip Man - The best kung fu film in ages, though a bit let down by its ending.
Snatch - Supremely enjoyable. Infinity rewatch value.

In no particular order, and for various reasons:
Cabin Fever
The Dark Knight
Pineapple Express
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Party Monster
Devil's Rejects
Saw
The Rundown
Shaun of The Dead
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
My list has completely changed since the time this was posted. Mainly, I'd take off Cabin Fever (although I do quite like it), Saw (again, I like it, but I can replace it), The Rundown, Party Monster and Devil's Rejects. All good flicks I really enjoyed, but looking at it, it'd look like this:
Pineapple Express (no message in it, just a funny, funny movie)
Spider-Man 2 (I still maintain it's the BEST comic book to live adaption movie, ever)
Clerks 2 (a rare occasion where the sequel matches the original, and it spoke to me in some capacity)
Shaun of The Dead (a great comedy with a lot of blood, always a fun romp)
O Brother, Where Art Thou (just a great movie, another good effort by the Coen's)
Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (decent adaption of the book, some people threw it off 'as another remake, but it's re-telling the book's story, people)
The Incredible Hulk (2008 version, not Ang Lee's. Hulk's a character I can relate to, anger and all, two sides to one person)
The Dark Knight- lots of people seem to hate on it, but I liked the performances throughout, regardless.
March of The Penguins- no acting, just a good movie.
Team America: World Police- an action movie with puppets, and of course: MATT DAMON!
I dont know about top 10 but these are 10 that I watch repeatedly so im adding them.
Pans labyrinth
Shaun of the dead
3:10 to yuma~ crowe and bale, whats not to like. :teddyr:
Snatch
gladiator
The fall
slumdog millionaire
inside~ yes, its bloody but damn, its good.
Batman begins~ I know it doesnt have the pazzaz that the dark knight has but it has a great, solid, well acted story.
The cottage~ love this movie!

1... Haute Tension (2003)
One of the better horror stories I have seen and one of the few movies I didnt predict the ending (and watching it a second time it all made sense)
(http://www.machinegirl.net/wp-content/gallery/the-machine-girl/the_machine_girl_11_1119729773444.jpg)
2... The Machine Girl (2008)
Wow... comic book gore... :)
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OYUMoUrrdBE/RvoOGQnL7iI/AAAAAAAACHc/pMKvThhVyS8/s400/exte.jpg)
3... Exte: Hair Extensions (2007)
At first, this story seemed funny and over the top idea since most asian horror films were copying the Rings success and made scary characters with long hair... The story does work very well as a horror film and its has a funny/gross and over the top ending that reminds me of Pieces... :)
(http://www.beyondhollywood.com/posterx/anotherheaven3.jpg)
4... Another Heaven (2000)
Just seen the movie over the weekend and I found it fun, although my wife guess that the movie will have a sad ending... :)
(http://insomniactivity.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/the-orphanage.jpg)
5... The Orphanage (2007)
A very good ghost story, although another sad movie.
(http://flakmag.com/film/images/hillshaveeyes.jpg)
6... The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
I'm impress how good this remake is...
(http://www.allbestwallpapers.com/wallpaper/movie/image/king_kong,_2005,_naomi_watts,_jack_black,_adrien_brody.jpg)
7... King Kong (2005)
Speaking of impressive remakes... :)
(http://relliott4.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/hot-fuzz.jpg)
8... Hot Fuzz (2007)
I also like Shaun of the Dead, but Hot Fuzz is so funny... :)
(http://www.cinemaonline.com.my/movie/7slitmouthedwoman03.jpg)
9... Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman (2007)
I like this horror story... :)
(http://img11.imagehosting.gr/out.php/i392340_The.Lord.Of.The.Rings.The.Fellowship.Of.The.Ring.2001.720p.mkv000704411.jpg)
10... The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Peter Jackson's Godfather of 2000... :) Although, I also like Harry Potter I think Lord of the Rings is a much better series... :)
Movies that failed...
Star Wars Prequel Trilogy ~ although we were lucky that Phantom Menace was 1999 film... I have one question... "Why was baby Vader's mother still a slave after all the things he did in the first movie [like saving Queen Amidala's planet from the robot invasion]?" The answer was the biggest miss since the script writing of Ishtar. If Queen Amidala was the dark side then all the silly mistakes in Phantom Menace and part 2 would be seen as a clever plot... (It would also be the biggest shocker since "Luke, I'm your Father." ~ Empire Strikes Back)
Phat Girlz (2006) ~ I felt like one of the people in an airplane and Ted Striker was siting next to me and telling me his backstory... :)
Rollerball (2002) ~ OUTCH!!!!

watched it at the cinema with a hangover and it made me do proper jumps at the scary bits, which was a bit embarrassing. the girls sat on the row behind must've thought I was a right wuss...

3. Memento
4. Wall-E
5. The Pianist
6. The Departed
7. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
8. Inglourious Basterds
9. UP
10. Avatar
If you haven't watch these movies you must watch them. you can watch them online at [spam link removed]
1. Gladiator (2000)
An epic in every sense of the word. This movie has everything in it.
2. The Dark Knight (2008)
Another epic, the ultimate comic book film.
3. The Bourne Trilogy (2002-07)
I'm not sure that as a single film any of three would make it on this list but as a trilogy Matt Damon is the most kick ass super spy I've ever seen.
4. The Ladykillers (2004)
An absolutely HILARIOUS movie from the Coen brothers. The casting was so perfect. Tom Hanks plays his character to a t, Marlon Wayans, JK Simmons, Tzi Ma, and Ryan Hurst also are perfectly cast. Just a terrific, funny movie. Superbad would be on this list since the first time I saw it my stomach hurt afterward from all the laughing. The replay value of Superbad doesn't hold up like The Ladykillers though, since Superbad's script is mostly s**t.
5. The Departed (2006)
An Irish mob story in Boston with some of the best actors of this generation. The entire movie plays out amazingly and the ending really wraps up one of my favorite movies ever.
6. Lost in Translation (2003)
A middle aged actor that is bored with his 25 year marriage meets a newlywed out of college. A perfect movie that explores themes of loneliness between two people that want more then what they know they are allowed by this world to have.
7. Shaun of the Dead (2004)
A classic comedy with infinite replay value. Spaced is a must watch if you are into Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
8. Children of Men (2006)
A gritty, realistic view of the future where all the women can't have babies. Clive Owen is awesome and the entire movie just feels so... real.
9. Pineapple Express (2008)
The best stoner film of all time, hands down. Seth Rogen is a comedic God and James Franco is the most hilarious, always stoned, long haired, phased out drug dealer. A perfect supporting cast, a great script and awesome action scenes really do make this the best stoner film ever.
10. Avatar (2009)
I've only seen Avatar once and slept through about 10-15 minutes because I had surgery that week and wasn't going off much sleep. A visual spectacle with a great script that once I get more viewings of will probably be in a three horse race with Gladiator and The Dark Knight.

Pans Labyrinth
My sisters keeper
The golden compass

Crash
Brothers

OUTPOST-I really like the idea behind this one...pleasently surprised!

From Hell - not bad, worth a watch
The Hurt Locker - excellent!
Chocolate factory - I assume you mean the Tim Burton remake. I wouldn't nominate this one for best of the decade. OK but inferior to the original.
Antichrist - I recommend it, but I can't tell how anyone will react to it. Certainly a notable movie
Shutter Island - not bad. Outside chance to make my top 10 of the year, a good movie but I wouldn't put it on any decade list.

Responses to the ones I've seen in bold.

well i guess its cause i havent watched the original so nothing to compare it to
I would like to stress that not all of these deserve to be top 10 of the decade and also take a look at my previous list, above this one posted as fancy (i made a mistake typing the nick in the 2nd post) f and fancy are the same person.
U see i just put random movies that make my top movie list especially because i wanted to throw in new titles. I couldnt believe that someone has watched lets say Perfume or Mindhunters and didnt mention it so i figured i ll just write them down and maybe a couple of people will watch em. Most of them wont make your decade list but u ll regret not watchin them so here are a few more:
Mr. Brooks
Passengers
Five Fingers
Eyes Wide Shut
21 gram
Ocean's (11-12-13)
7 pounds
The pursuit of Happiness ( I would swear that this movie shoulda been on half of the decade lists out there but i feel sth is wrong so well watch it if u havent lol, It will sure make your movie evening )
23 (its like a week copy version of Memento but not bad)
Zombieland (well another version of Shaun of the Dead)
this last one is not exactly my decade choice, i just notices that a lot of ppl put slither and shaun of the dead so why not this one. No matter how funny, ridiculous or disgustin a movie is, it doest deserve a place in my decade list. I am more a movie with meaning person so i really cant waste 2 out of 10 spaces with comedy or funny horror.
It's been a year, so I'll update my list:
LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY (2001-2003)
PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006)
BRONSON (2008)
THE HURT LOCKER (2009)
CRASH (2004)
ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004)
KUNG FU HUSTLE (2005)
ADAPTATION (2001)

RED CLIFF (2009)
Definitely Red Cliff - its a great storytelling about ancient war strategy, impressive visual effects, makes a worthwatching experience
I hated Red Cliff. Screw "impressive visuka effects", what happened to grit and realism? I want chinese guys to kick each other in the face, not fly through the air and dance around....
