City of God, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, There Will Be Blood, The Royal Tenenbaums, Gosford Park, Spirited Away, Donnie Darko, Slumdog Millionaire.

At least I liked these well enough to own them cause they bear up under repeat watching.

This is probably not the forum to talk about my favorite naughty movie.

But just off the top of my head, I’ll name “Shaun of the Dead” and “Slumdog Millionaire”. Also, I recently saw the film “Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire” and was very moved. Fantastic, funny, sad and uplifting all at once. When the Oscar nominations come out, expect to see it named repeatedly and deservedly so.

The Aughts I’ll remember as the decade of the “bromance.” And there were some very good ones: There’s Something About Mary, Knocked Up, Wedding Crashers and The Hangover.

Other faves that come to mind are High Fidelity, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Michael Clayton, Monsters Inc., Farenheit 911, The Royal Tannenbaums, Tropic Thunder, Volver, The Smartest Guys in the Room, An Inconvenient Truth, The Others,Tell No One, Seabiscuit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

There’s Something About Mary was released in the Nineties. It was great.

My favorites would include the LOTR trilogy, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, and Michael Clayton.

I would be curious to see what people think were the best musical albums of the 2000’s, my I-pod is getting a little stagnant…
