And so it begins. We haven't had Where the Wild Things Are (2009), Avatar (2009) or Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009) yet, but nevertheless, these are the best films of the naughties.I've got seven to catch up on and have already added them to my "rent me" list, comments are welcome:
Yi Yi: A One and a Two (Edward Yang, 2000)
Le Grand Voyage (Ismael Ferroukhi, 2004)
L'enfant (Jean-Pierre Dardenne/Luc Dardenne, 2005)
The Son’s Room (Nanni Moretti, 2001)
My Summer of Love (Pawel Pawlikowski, 2004)
Under the Sand (François Ozon, 2000)
Irreversible (Gaspar Noé, 2002)
Have a look, see what you think. I agree with most but the repetition value will be high as these lists continue to emerge over the next few weeks. I have selected 5 abominations that have no place in the top 100:
The Devil Wears Prada (David Frankel, 2006)
Wedding Crashers (David Dobkin, 2005)
School of Rock (Richard Linklater, 2003)
Hotel Rwanda (Terry George, 2004)
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (Adam McKay, 2004)
Most tend to be comedies, great fun obviously, but not exactly the pinnacle of cinematic achievement for the last ten years, surely. Hotel Rwanda (2005) incidentally sucks, if you get the chance, check out Shooting Dogs (2006). It came out one year later and told the real, non-Hollywood version of the Rwandan genocide.
