Best and worst movies of the 2000's « Thread Started on Nov 5, 2009, 4:56pm »
Any movie from 2000-now
My list is far from exhaustive...
EDIT: This is a lot harder than I realized...
Best: The Lord of the Rings Up Wild Things Gran Torino (500) Days of Summer Apocolypto Anything that begain with Bourne Almost everything done by Christopher Nolan Pretty much all the Harry Potter Films except 2 and 5 (they were just okay). 1 wasn't spectacular either. Some M. Night (Signs, Unbreakable) Star Wars Episode III
Worst: Star Wars: Episode II Transformers I and II M. Night Movies (The Happening)

BEST:
Pan's Labyrinth Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The Royal Tenembaums The Darjeeling Limited The Incredibles The Science of Sleep The Blair Witch Project (Paranormal Activity, say hello to daddy). Kill Bill, Vol. 1 & 2 War of the Worlds Being John Malkovich Signs Star Trek Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Spider-Man 2 Hellboy I & II Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow King Kong (Peter Jackson Remake) LOTR - Return of the King Sin City
WORST:
My Super Ex-Girlfriend Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen Into the Blue Fast and Furious (the whole series) Saw Hostel Spider-Man 3 X-Men Origins: Wolverine
I can't comment on movies I've never seen (*cough* Blair Witch Project *cough*) soooo -- yeah
Haha.
In my opinion, The Blair Witch was more suspenseful than Paranormal Activity. PA was scary, but TBW had more impact and originality. Not to mention the last scene (or act) made my heart race more than the ending for PA.
Both of them were frustrating at not letting us see what the threat was specifically but I guess that's what makes it an effective horror film.

Blair Witch, Being John malkovich, The Sixth Sense were all '90s films.

Blair Witch, Being John malkovich, The Sixth Sense were all '90s films.
Being John M. came out Decembe 26, 1999 (not sure if in the US, but that was a release date). I rounded the years.
The Sixth Sense isn't even up there.
And Blair Witch is amazing. Get over it.
In fact, I'm even going to add up FIGHT CLUB up there.

What Jake is basically saying, Indy...is that the films on his list that were not in the 2000's were all in 1999 and he sees absolutely no reason at all why you would feel the need to pick up on that fact when you could have just looked at the list, and said 'Good choice '
