My 5 Favorite Films Since 2000


Sorry for the 11 days between posts.  I've been busy: I spent four days backpacking the Appalachian Trail, celebrated my grandmother's 80th birthday and my niece's 4th birthday on consecutive days, and was at the beach for the last three days.  Having said that, while hiking over 42 miles on the AT, my two buddies and I passed the time with silly lists and games.  During one stretch, each of us listed our five favorite films since the year 2000.  Here is my list, in no particular order:

  1. Winter's Bone
  2. No Country For Old Men
  3. There Will Be Blood
  4. Anchorman
  5. Inglorious Basterds


I am sure I am forgetting about a few movies that I really enjoyed over the last 11 years, but I am satisfied with this list at the moment.  Others that come to mind: Mystic River, The Departed, Midnight in Paris (if you haven't seen this movie yet, sprint to a movie theater right now), The Social Network (for the score more than anything), The King's Speech, The Pianist, House of Sand And Fog, Million Dollar Baby, Good Night and Good Luck, Match Point, Up in the Air and Doubt.

I am going to pick up my blog game once again.  Expect at least one movie review every day.
