3 of my favorites are The Passion Of The Christ and Training Day and The 40 year old Virgin. I cannot think of any others at this moment.

The last half hour or so was brilliant.

Yes. I totally agree. Have you seen Pi yet?

The book will probably be the next I read, once I am finished with the two current books I am working on.

This was tough: (in alphabetical order)

About Schmidt (2002/Alexander Payne)
Adaptation. (2002/Spike Jonze)
Closer (2004/Mike Nichols)
Dogville (2003/Lars von Trier)
Elephant (2003/Gus Van Sant)

Gerry (2001/Gus Van Sant)
L.I.E. (2001/Michael Cuesta)

"In the Bedroom" (2001/Todd Field)
"Memento" (2000/Christopher Nolan)
"Mulholland Dr." (2001/David Lynch)

No. I just checked imdb about it, seems interesting. [/b][/quote]It's not as good as Requiem, but very interesting, especially if you enjoyed Aronofsky's directorial choices on Requiem.

I'm also excited about his new film he is working on. The premise sounds interesting, to say the least. There were also rumors a few years back about him adapting Chuck Palahniuk's novel Choke, a book I absolutely adore, into a feature-length film, which is something I'd of loved to see. But I think he dropped that project a while back.

I'd add two bios to the list:

I enjoyed both immensely.

well I loved Requiem For A Dream too! I watched it for the first time last week and I can only agree that it is the most shocking and disturbing film I've ever seen. definitely one of the best of 00's. now, I'm even more shocked that most of you do not include City of God in your lists. in my opinion it is among the top 3 from the 00's. maybe because I'm brazilian and for me the movie is even more realistic. in fact, I rented the DVD last night just to watch an audio commented version of the film by director Fernando Meirelles, screenplay writter Braulio Mantovani and director of cinematography Cesar Charlone (all nominated to the Academy Awards) that is awesome! I recommend every fan of this film to watch it. for anyone who watched and actually remembers the film, is like watching it again, with the director explaining every detail.

I love Requiem's editing; a rapid, rhythmic, almost addictive conjuring of hallucinatory drug effects. Other than that, I much prefer Pi, which sticks with a protagonist I adapt to (Requiem is full of junkies I don't care for), a pulsating soundtrack, and lovely, black-and-white cinematography. There's a split second I remember vividly, where Max stars at a mirror, then begins to drill a hole into his own skull. We cut away, but the sound resonates still, and it's been a year since I saw it.

Sort of sporatic, a few huge blockbusters and a few small movies. Most of my favorite movies from this decade have been character studies, or just plain violent movies (next would probably be Punch Drunk Love and the Kill Bills)

1. Lost in Translation (2003/S.Coppola)
2. Sideways (2004/Payne)
3. Traffic (2000/Soderbergh)
4. Collateral (2004/Mann)
5. Match Point (2005/Allen)
6. Batman Begins (2005/Nolan)
7. Elephant (2003/Van Sant)
8. City of God (2002/Mierelles)
9. Road to Perdition (2002/Mendes)
10. Sin City (2005/Rodriguex)

Updated with Gerry. Van Sant's entire Death trilogy is on my best list so far for the 00's.
