Brian challenged his readers to post a "best movies of the decade list," so here's mine. Obviously, this is not a top ten (there are 15 + 1 movies here) and this does not represent anything about how well-made (or not well-made) these films are because I don't know anything about that. This is simply a list of movies that come to mind when I ask myself "what movies from the 00s would I recommend to a friend with similar taste?" I'm also listing these not in the order of best to worst, but in the order I would tell someone to watch them if they had not seen any of them. And BTW, Christian Bale must win Best Actor, because he's the lead in 3 of these.

15 Movies of the 00s:

Bourne Identity
Zoolander
The Departed
Fellowship of the Rings
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Ring
Hot Fuzz
Terminator: Salvation
3:10 to Yuma
Beautiful Mind
The Village
About a Boy
Stardust
The Prestige
Hotel Rwanda

Bonus: The Top Movie I Wish I Had Seen in the 00s:

District 9
