I have hardly seen any films I like in the 00s. So I would have to go for Pan's Labrynth but its not there......

I though SIn City was good film of the 00z, but also Spirited Away is a splendid movie, and Fellowship of the Rings is a achivement in filmatogrophy -------------

There are a number of films I really like, but I vote Dancer in the Dark. The one of these I've seen the most times is Spirited Away, which is one of my favourite animated films. Incidentally, I didn't enjoy Vanilla Sky nearly as much as Open Your Eyes (but then I saw Open Your Eyes first in the cinema and only watched the US remake on DVD). |

Well, I haven't seen Abre Los Ojos, the original Amenabar film. Perhaps if I would have, it would be on the list instead of Cameron Crowe's remake.

Abre Los Ojos (hadn't forgotten the Spanish title) came out in 1997 so it would have had to make your 90s list. It's worth watching, but since you've already seen the remade version, inessential. I didn't really love the original, though I certainly liked it considerably, and enjoyed it more than my wife. I tend not to like the originals as much when I started with a remake, though there are exceptions, and I guess that would be the same with most. EDIT: Back then I was mostly kind of anti-Hollywood type films, and almost exclusively watched so-called arthouse films (usually non-English language), so I was biased against the remake from the outset (plus this common bias I've had against remakes commonly -- for instance, loved the Japanese Shall We Dance? which I guess I saw a little earlier than Abre Los Ojos, but hated the remake, but then I think that was a poor remake that missed the charm of the original). |

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I love that trilogy. I was considering Spirited Away, but I find Howel's Moving Castle to be a better film. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I'll toss a vote towards Spirited Away, Miyazaki's films are amazing.

Nice, Ghost World is one of my favourites!
There Will Be Blood is marvelous.
I can't stand Donni Darko.

Nearly went for Miyazaki, bu then I saw Broken Flowers - which has a great soundtrack too - and had to go with Bill's ultra-dry performance in a slightly unsettling film. ------------- We are men of action.

Inception hurt my head in a "this has gone on long enough" kind of way.

Lots to choose from. I was about to pick No Country for Old Men for it's sound design (read: no music) and cinematography, but settled instead on Elephant for its style and general ballsyness. I love Gus Van Sant, he can always make your skin crawl and yet somehow stays hidden from the mainstream. I guess it's the overtones.

So many of these I haven't seen. For me it was a tossup between Donnie and Mulholland.
------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Only saw about half of those,
El Secreto De Sus Ojos being my favorite among those which I did see. My favorite movie from the 00's (and from the 21st century) is In Bruges, not listed here. ------------- Bigger on the inside. |
