Believe it or not, we are coming to the end of the decade. There have been tons of great films released in the last 10 years.
As we get closer to 2010, I have noticed a lot of lists popping up all over the net.
I thought it would be fun to list some of our favorite films from 2000 to the present.
When I first had the idea for this thread, I wanted to make my list to 50. After jotting down a few films, I soon realized I would never be able to put them in order. I now have over 50. Maybe I will sit down one day and decide the order. For now, here they are in no particular order:
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Dark Knight
The Bourne trilogy
The Departed
In Bruges
Donnie Darko
Million Dollar Baby
Gladiator
Memento

I know a lot of people (including myself) has said that Hollywood doesn't put out as many good films anymore. I think my list proves us all wrong.
I think Hollywood is putting out more films in general, so it looks like there isn't as much good stuff. In reality, there's a lot to like here. Hopefully, the next decade will be just as good.
