My Favorite Movies of the 00's

I didn't even really think about 2009 being the end of a decade until all these 'best of' lists started floating around, and I'm still a little weirded out that the past 10 years are going to be viewed as one cohesive unit. It really doesn't feel like it should. Anywho, I was reading many of those best of movie lists and I got to thinking about all my favorite movies. I tried to make a nice little concise list, but that didn't happen. Also, I watch a lot of movies but not near as many as I'd like to, so this list is probably wildly incomplete/inaccurate. So anyways, here are my favorite 40 films from the past decade (and please note I said favorite, not best)....

  1. Signs? I though M. Night Shamalamadingdong was showing the limits of his talents with that one.

  2. Yeah, people seem to dislike that movie a lot, but I really, really like it. It's pretty scary in some places and also really funny, and I know everything all sort of magically falls in place at the end, but every now and then I go for that kind of stuff. I think it's just a matter of preference. Same thing with Lady in the Water, which I am also a fan of.
