The Last King of Scotland City of God (aka Cidade de Deus) The Green Mile The Departed The Bourne Triology Pan's Labryinth Taken The Prestige Training Day Meet The Parents Something About Mary American Beauty (ok its 1999, but probably one of my favourite films ever) Memento Gladiator (obv) Sin City Snatch and there are soooo many pre-2000 that I would love to name, but they are classics that everyone knows about anyway e.g. shawshank, schindler's list etc | ||

In no particular order: No Direction Home Sin City Iqbal C.R.A.Z.Y. Brokeback Mountain Capote Batman Begins Walk the Line Cindarella Man Wallace & Gromit Tsotsi Corpse Bride Paradise Now Sophie Scholl Murderball You're telling me there's not a movie in that list that's better than V for Vendetta? An hour and a half of pretentious bullshit. | ||

It is a musical with beatles songs set in the vietnam war period, and the songs are strung together just flawlessly. The singing is excellent, although the storyline/script is kinda ridiculous (throwing in a character called prudence just so they could sing hey prudence). Great movie to watch if you're a beatles fan, or you're just into good music/singing and not much of a plot. +1. Great film. | ||

Really shocked that this movie didn't create a ginormous international shitstorm. Basically a very very big slap right across the face of every religious group in the world. Bill Maher does a very good job of asking the right questions and then letting people make complete assholes out of themselves and their religion. I like how it brings up the topic of religion in such a comedic way but then you step back and think about it and you go "holy shit it's actually not funny at all, this is serious business..." Definitely check it out. | ||

Although I really didn't like the movie (just a personal taste), no one can deny how brilliantly made the movie was. Personally, my favorites of the past few years are The Dark Knight, Fearless, District B13, and The Last Samurai. | ||

The prestige is really great and unexpected ending, everyone can love this movie. And how can people forget Million Dollar Baby? It was really entertaining and the ending almost made me cry. Clint Eastwood+ Morgan Freeman= Insta win Kill Bill was good too, it's one of those movies you could watch 10 times in a row just because the fights are so epic. And LOTR is probably the best book adaptation (can I say that?) I've ever seen considering the debth of the story. I'm sure everyone who has read the books had imagine a movie almost just like that, when I saw it for the first time it was really just like I imagined everything before. Gandalf was exactly like he was in the books, so were Aragorn and Legolas. | ||

There clearly wasn't anything that topped Kill Bill since its release, but that was 5 years ago. Nothing significant came out past 2-3 years, Dark Knight and Slumdog were obviously top picks. I was never a huge fan of "batman" series but wasn't disappointed after watching Dark Knight( obviously thanks to Keith Ledger acting, nothing else). Slumdog was a ripoff from 2 movies, City of God and a french movie My Best Friend( surprisingly good movie too), regardless of that it delivered and kept me interested to the end. IMO most notable movie in past couple years would be Crank 2. I haven't seen this kind of action since Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels. It topped LSATSB at many aspects, probably not the better movie overall but still VERY impressive. The Pursuit of Happyness deserves mentioning, possibly couple more movies that I'm forgetting about came fairly close. Other then that it's been absolute garbage. | ||
