For you, what was the goat year of movies in the 2000s?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

May be a coincidence but I found a lot of very meh movies from 2003 (The last two matrix and a lot of movies here and there)

[KingBeasley08]

2007

No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Assassination of Jesse James
Atonement
American Gangster
Gone Baby Gone
3:10 To Yuma

Very diverse and strong year

[NBAplayoffs2001]

2007

No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Assassination of Jesse James
Atonement
American Gangster
Gone Baby Gone
3:10 To Yuma

Very diverse and strong year

American Gangster was an awesome movie. I don't even know how I got into that movie (I was like only 14, pretty sure it was rated R). I think I bought a ticket for another movie and then snuck into American Gangster :lol

[dazzer87]

Year 2000.


Memento (one of the best of all time)
Gladiator
American Psycho
Requiem for a Dream
X-Men
Snatch
Traffic

and Transformers . . .

[Myth]

Year 2000.


Memento (one of the best of all time)
Gladiator
American Psycho
Requiem for a Dream
X-Men
Snatch
Traffic

I haven't looked through all the years yet, but this is really strong. American Psycho is a top 5 movie for me. Memento is a top 10. Requiem is a strong movie with great performances and some unique direction. Snatch is one of my favorite British movies, and X-Men is still one of my favorite comic movies.

[Myth]

2007

No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Assassination of Jesse James
Atonement
American Gangster
Gone Baby Gone
3:10 To Yuma

Very diverse and strong year

I only loved the bolded here. No Country and Gone Baby Gone were also really good. I found 3:10 to be very overrated, and Jesse James was a huge let down for me. Never saw Atonement. I liked Eastern Promises as well, but not a big fan of the other movies listed by ROCsteady.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

For 2009


Up
The Hurt Locker
Zombieland
Avatar
Inglorious Basterds
Hangover
District 9
Invictus


Not bad

Solid year. I never watched Up (just never got around to it). I've seen youtube clips of The Hurt Locker. Zombieland is one of my favorite movies, it's just funny and comedic. Avatar- it was OK, I thought it was overhyped.
Inglorious Basterds- :roll: :roll: :roll:
Hangover- :applause: Nice watch especially since I watched it with a group of friends that involved my crush at the time :cheers:
District 9- never saw it
Invictus- never saw it.

[StephHamann]

the 2000s are shit compared with the 90s

too many blockbuster comic movies :(


Braveheart

Silence of the Lambs

Jurassic Park

Schindlers List

You are selecting movies from all over the 90's.. the same type of list can be compilled from 00-10..

[ZeN]

Inglorious Basterds- :roll: :roll: :roll:


Get the f*ck outta here with that shit.. :no:

[nightprowler10]

Man, 2000 and 2007 were really strong years.

[ZeN]

90s was great. 00s was also great. Can't complain at all. :confusedshrug:
I agree with that.. every decade has a ton of great films. Many are just not sought out or arent stumbled into as much.

[Suguru101]

Lost in Translation and The Return of the King in 03 >>>>

Requiem for A Dream is an experience of a movie though.

Oh my god, you remember that Avatar? That was my very first one.. wow.. Not bad.

[Jailblazers7]

Yeah, I think it has to be '07. Everyone goes to the Oscar bait movies for these lists but '07 had a lot of good comedies and other types mixed in. Really well rounded.

Knocked Up
Walk Hard
Juno
Superbad
Bridge to Terabithia
Lars and the Real Girl

[Myth]

:roll:

I like 08

Let the Right One In
TDK
In Bruges
Iron Man
Chaser
Waltz with Bashir
Eden Lake
Zack and Miri
Bronson
Cloverfield
Tropic Thunder
Synecdoche, New York
Taken
Hellboy 2
Slumdog Millionaire
Burn After Reading
Splinter

A lot of good movies there, but I rarely see the bolded mentioned. Loved that disturbing little movie. It was also one of the first movies to really sell me on Fassbender.

The bolded cracked me up. Knocked Up is fine, but pretty formulaic even by Apatow standards. I did not like Juno, and Lars was quirky but most pretty boring and forgettable. Never saw Bridge to T.

[Myth]

Memento such a garbage gimmick movie

0 rewatchability

What? I've probably seen it close to 10 times and I've loved it every time.

[Riley Martin]

Definitely 2007.

[Jailblazers7]

Walk Hard is one of my favorite comedies of the decade. So many parts kill me and the rewatchibility is really high. Not a huge fan of Knocked Up, Juno, or Superbad but they were objectively big hits.

[Riley Martin]

2004 is underrated though.

Sideways
Closer
Layer Cake
The Assassination of Richard Nixon
Garden State
Ocean's Twelve
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Anchorman
Kill Bill 2
The Aviator
Criminal
Dawn of the Dead
The Life Aquatic
Napoleon Dynamite
I Heart Huckabees
Primer
Team America

Love The Departed, but it kind of stands alone in 2006.

[Riley Martin]

I'm probably forgetting some films.

[T_L_P]

2004 because it has one of the three best films ever.

Does anyone feel like this decade (2010-current) has been kind of shitty for films so far?

Other than a few gems like True Grit, Inception, Greenberg, The Hobbit, The Wolf of Wall Street, Django Unchained, it's mostly been recycled superhero movies, transformers, etc.

the 90s were awesome.
the 00s were still pretty great.
the 10s are meh (so far)

[Myth]

That's your lady kidney talkin

Is that why I get wet when I see Guy Pearce?

[Myth]

know anything similar by any chance?

Hmmm... if I remember I'll end up thinking harder, but nothing comes to mind. The most similar story wise is probably some terrible horror movie that wouldn't compare quality wise. If you ignore the story comparisons, I kind of feel the Descent has a similar feel in the sense that there is a lot of focus on a desperate female who cannot escape her location while she is in danger (and likewise has some disturbing concepts). The end of the Mist is shocking in a similar way, but otherwise is not very comparable. Both of those comparisons are huge reaches though for the most part.

2000s has been shit for Hollywood.

But there are a lot more great indie/international films now than there were in the 90s.

The World, The Master, AI (Hollwood, yeah), In the Mood for Love, etc etc are all incredible films.

No Pineapple Express? Heh. That was a funny movie. And Frost/Nixon was good too.

But yeah. Lots of good movies out that year. I'm still a little tick that Let the Right One In and The Dark Knight didn't get nominated for the Oscars. That was a shame IMO. They were the two best movies that year to me.

Besides Wolf of Wall Street this year, I thought it was an incredibly weak year.

That came out last year. And last year had some pretty good movies to me. 12 Years a Slave and Before Midnight were my faves. This year summer movies have been unexpectedly great imo.

Guardians of the Galaxy
How to Train your Dragon 2
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
X-Men Days of Future Past
Captain America 2
Lego Movie

Pretty good so far. Not even Oscar "season" yet. Still need to see a couple movies that were limited tho.

2008 was great.

The movie, not the user.

[glidedrxlr22]

Year 2000.


Memento (one of the most overrated of all time)
Gladiator
American Psycho
Requiem for a Dream
X-Men
Snatch
Traffic

I've said it many times here on ISH. These are two of my top most overrated movies ever.

[Dbrog]

Besides Wolf of Wall Street this year, I thought it was an incredibly weak year.

I'm very surprised at this since I believe it to be the best year in movies since some of those years in the 90s...actually 2000 was an amazing year after reading this thread. Anyway...

2013 had not just good movies, but great movies. Modern classics some of them.

Elite
Wolf of Wallstreet
Her
Prisoners
Before Midnight
Dallas Buyers Club

Great
American Hustle
Don Jon
Hunger Games: catching fire
Les Miserables
Frozen
The Conjuring
Saving Mr. Banks

[Riley Martin]

I've said it many times here on ISH. These are two of my top most overrated movies ever.

I agree.

I feel similarly about Donnie Darko, but to a lesser extent. I did like the film when I first saw it and talked about it for a while, but after multiple viewings I think people overrate it quite a bit.

[LJJ]

2000 for me.

Yi Yi is one of my personal favorite movies ever.

Gladiator is the best Hollywood joint of the 00s.

A couple of very decent movies in their shadow like Traffic, American Psycho, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, O Brother Where Art Thou, Memento. Pretty solid.

[ArbitraryWater]
