Top Movies 2000-2024.

This is a terrific topic for a thread. Some of the most popular would make my list for some of the worst films made, ever, but that's a reality - one man's meat, etc, etc.
One of the most remarkable films of the last 20 years is Clint Eastwood's Hereafter, a brilliantly delicately balanced story, told in a way that only a consummately gifted storyteller could pull off. I love and admire Eastwood's work and to me, this one stands at the pinnacle.

I don't know how I could have left out Donnie Darko. I've only seen the director's cut, but definitely a favorite.

A few others I will add are:

Knowing
The Mothman Prophecies
House of Sand and Fog
Blood Diamond

I probably have very different tastes in movies, but some of mine would be:

Adaptation (2002)
The Tree of Life (2011)
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)
I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020)

Edit:

Forgot to mention:

The Departed (2006)
Shutter Island (2010)

There Will Be Blood (2007) is also on my short list.

Forgot one of my favorites He’ll or High Water.

 

[Kingsley]

Oldboy (2003) is on the list, maybe Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)? Big fan of both.
More importantly, Kung-Pow: Enter The Fist (2002).

 

[Chasing Embers]

Memoirs of a Geisha
Predestination
Ghostbusters : Afterlife
