My Top 100 Movies of the 2000's

(I re-edited this on 5/10/11 with over 20+ changes, be it additions, subtractions, rearrangements, etc.)

My usual monthly update will be posted per normal on the 1st of next month (and I've watched a lot so far!). A forum I frequent is running a poll on the best films of the 2000's and I hastily threw together a ballot. It's not perfect. I'm not necessarily saying these are the best films of the decade.

This was a little more difficult than I'd imagined. I came up with my seventy movies or so right away I knew would be on. Then it took some time racking my brain and researching to fill out the rest. The hardest part was determining the place of the final three movies. I moved them around a few times before finally settling on this finalized list. I'd love to hear yours. Be well.
