Happy 50th Post! Thats right! You, right now, are reading the words that make up the content of the 50th post of this very blog!
And in celebration of this mighty 50th post, occurring approximitely 829 days after the first post, I will present to you my First Revision to my Favourite Movies of the period 2000-2009.
The original list I made contained just 10 movies, and was posted under the title "The Confessor" in December 2009 if you are interested in it.
Some of those movies make this list. Some not.
My Top 20 Movies of The 2000s, First Revision (it has to be somewhat official sounding, right?)
(500) Days of Summer
25th Hour
Atonement
Blood Diamond
Children of Men
The Departed
District 9
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind
Gone Baby Gone
The Illusionist
In Bruges
Inglourious Basterds
Let The Right One In
Memento
Moon
Pan's Labyrinth
The Pianist
The Prestige
Revolutionary Road
Sin City
If you've not seen some of these films, see them. You may just enjoy them at least as much as I did. I haven't seen every movie from the 2000s, so this list is not complete. This is my excuse for giving you a Second Revision at some indeterminate time in the future.
Also, there are some highly acclaimed films that I've seen that I didn't enjoy as much as these, and so aren't on my list. These are favourites, not my proclamation of the best. Keep your knickers out of a twist.
Stats:
3 Leonardo DiCaprio movies (Blood Diamond, The Departed and Revolutionary Road)
2 Edward Norton movies (25th Hour, The Illusionist)
2 Chris Nolan flicks (Memento, The Prestige)
And 20 Awesome Movies in Total.
According to IMDB:
3 Most Voted - Memento, The Departed and Sin City.
3 Least Voted - Revolutionary Road, 25th Hour and Gone Baby Gone.
And remember that IMDB knows all, and thus is the go to page for opinions. Especially for opinions.
On that note, I bid you good video viewing and goodbye.
