How the hell do you even remember what came out in 2000?
I can't even remember 2008.
Shadow of the Vampire actually came out in 2000? It seems like it was earlier.
I can't believe that the year 2000 was actually 10 years ago now. That's sad.
Can anyone even remember exactly what they were doing in 2000?
I was still living in Canada.

Don't mind the ramblings of an old man. Continue making your fun lists while I try to figure out what happened to the last decade.

You see, I'm enough of a movie geek that I make best/worst movie lists every year and save them in a text file. I have 10 of them, thus a decade does it make. But on another forum, I was spanked about the many great films I forgot about or didn't see (which don't count on my list if I didn't see them). Ghost World was a fine example of a film I forgot about. Now, I wish I could delete this whole thread, #1) because of all my unintended omissions, and #2) no one gives a fuck about it.

I'll post a couple of lists later this week.

15 favourite films from 2000-2009, based on a scan over the DVD shelves, and in no particular order -
28 Days Later
Infernal Affairs
A History of Violence
Ghost World
My Summer of Love
Dead Man's Shoes
Oldboy
In the Mood for Love
Ghost in the Shell 2 - Innocence
Casino Royale
The Incredibles
The Host
Ong Bak
Battle Royale
The Life Aquatic

I could do a worst list, but it'd be a fairly predictable bunch of pissawful remakes, bastardised adaptations and overblown shit (including, I'm sorry to say, one or two from Mr Slinker's original list).
