(This list is subject to change at any moment based on a fresh movie memory I forgot about or a '00 film I haven't yet seen. This list is mainly mainstream films, and does not include animated films. This list is is no particular order. I do believe THERE WILL BE BLOOD is my personal favorite full-bodied film making event; story, composition, acting, production design, photography, direction and resonant themes that define the '00 decade of fear and greed. Come back in 2019 for the next list.)
