MY FAVORITE 101 FILMS OF THE ‘00s

Long delayed, this list. I haven’t had the time to watch or rewatch all that I intended to from the years, but seeing as we‘re halfway through Janurary I think to little too late. I’m mildly content with how the top of the list stands today, at least until 30. In effort to get this posted rather than make it look appealing, I’m just gonna throw it up. I’m working on getting my 2009 lists looking nice and complete at the moment.

UPDATED 1/23:

Replaced a number of duplicate entries as I edited this rather poorly. I need to hire someone. Who will work for nothing. Anyway, I think it's complete now.
