i think Wall-E's fallen behind 12, Amelie, and Tokyo Sonata as my favorite movie of the last decade... i do think its first half is at least strong or even stronger than anything in these other three movies, but the more mediocre second half lowers my overall appreciation of it a little bit. badda bing badda boom...

Lost In Translation and There Will Be Blood are my two favorites. I am too lazy to make a list right now/I still need to revisit a bunch of 00s films.

at some point in this list, i just started listing them as i thought of them, but the top 20 or so are pretty much in order. just personal preference, thats all.

Moodysson fan! Didn't like Mammoth?

I liked Mammoth, I guess it's like 26 or 27. The last spot was a 2009 fight between Prophet, Mammoth and Ribbon. So yes, I liked Mammoth, and Moodysson is probably my Best Director of the 00's, but Lilja and Together are in another level.

Well here's mine, for what it's worth.

1. Mulholland Drive
2. Dogville
3. The White Ribbon
4. Together
5. There Will Be Blood
6. What Time is it There?
7. City of God
8. No Country For Old Men

10. In the Loop
11. The Royal Tenenbaums
12. The Class
13. Y Tu Mama Tambien
14. Lost in Translation
15. Control

I really like your list, Foggy

Thank you. To continue with the Moodysson topic, I only actuallly watched Together for the first time the other week, but I loved it so much it jumped right to the top of my rankings. One of the funniest satires I have ever seem (and satire is my favourite form of comedy.) I now feel the obligation to watch more of his work, especially since you rate Lilja 4-Ever even higher.
