Best 2000s Movies

Reminds you to love life.

Just the most gorgeous story ever written.

Even more mindless zombie fun - hurrah!

Loved it. The music was amazing and everything about the movie was just so real. I still have those songs going through my head!

This movie was amazing. The soundtrack is also brilliant.

Every kid should see this. It's cute and fun, has lots of adventure, important life lessons, environmentalism, etc. It's great!

Ah, if only they'd stuck to the original story and not gone for so many pretty effects!

Silly stuff, but I really do love moaning Myrtle. :D

This is where the Harry Potter series suddenly gets some great direction and awesome cinematography. They also never do explain what's going on as well as they do in the book. Hello? Why do these adult people know about the Marauder's map? Oh, you don't need to know that unless you're reading the book. Of course.

I'm not sure if it was the fact that I saw it in French (with no subtitles) or not, but this one was lacking somewhat.

Beautiful and tragic.

This was surprisingly fun. If you've ever worked in a cubicle farm you'll empathise entirely.

This movie was unexpectedly brilliant. The scenery and colours are particularly amazing, while the story is both beautiful and tragic.

Unexpectedly beautiful.

I'm actually quite surprised by the likenesses to the real people. But that's entirely irrelevant. This was a great movie.

This looks like it will be amazingly gorgeous!

Just brilliant!

I really want to read Capote's book now (won't say the name as it's a slight spoiler).

An reflection on a time involving diminished human rights, judgment without trial overcome by intelligence and truth in journalism. Very pertinent.

Visually, this was a beautiful movie. The scenery and the filming was stunning, plus the outfits were amazing. The natural sounds and music were well chosen and used well, with the latter not appearing until they were in settled areas, which I thought was a nice touch. All in all, I felt that the film moved way too slowly and may have been better as a mini-series.

Harsh. I hate what I have seen of the American Military. I would be terrified to meet them in a war zone.

This was a great movie. I was expecting it to be more of a horror movie, but it was actually really well made suspense/thriller/mystery. It's just scary enough to keep you jumping and realistic enough to keep you interested. I can't say much more without giving away spoilers.

I still find it hilarious how seriously all these families take this. And the attitudes are scary - one girl is doing the spelling bees because she wants to be the best at something and she already knows friends who are better than her at other things she's good at.

For the most part, these kids would have a better idea how to spell if they just read a lot of interesting books instead of studying spelling. Crazy..

This is actually a very interesting movie as the stories of the intertwining lives are very believable. Plus, almost everyone in the movie is played by an A-list actor. It's quite a lot of talent.

It's good for a giggle.

Just gorgeous in so many ways.

So pretty! *lusts after clothes*

Oh god. The best advice I had before watching this was "Think of it as a comedy".

I especially loved how the family looked all shiny and clean at the end - as if they'd all been having tea politely since the aliens arrived and hadn't noticed a thing.

Great monster movie!

I nearly died laughing. :)

I spent the entire movie staring in disbelief. A manufactured dysfunctional family with obvious, hollywood-style, unrealistic character development. Everything they did was just a little too over-the-top and could have been avoided with some thought. In fact, the whole movie would never have happened if only people knew how to drive (or had thought of letting the person who could drive do so from the start).

I could have taken it as silly fun (it's obviously meant to be), but it was just too horrifying. Plus, pagaent girls scare me.

A fantastic lesson in what not to do when you have kids.

This was visually amazing, but I think they could have made the scenario a little less paranormal and weird. It would have been easy for them to keep the plot to pure sci-fi, but for some reason they just didn't.

A big improvement on most Michael Moore movies. This is actually more of a documentary, comparing health systems and collecting anecdotal tricks and tragedies. In France he gets a little drawn off-topic by other government benefits that generally improve lifestyles for the French - I learned about several I didn't know of before.

During the film, there are only a few cliché Michael Mooreisms and they're quite toned down compared to previous movies.

Personally, I think America needs to look at insurance reform as well as health care reform. In Australia, insurers try to give you the run-around a little, but they'd lose their right to sell insurance if they tried the schemes shown in Sicko.

Anyway, it's a great insight into why America is such a scary place to get sick.

That was great! Beautiful, funny and finished off with a fantastic clog dance/tap dance - Very bollywood. Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for the awesome persussion outfit - they are fantastic. Sort of like Stomp mixed with Scrap Arts Music and every Taikoz band to ever exist. Fantastic.

It was just plain silly :D

Once this movie gets past the annoying premise of the magnetised head which wipes the tapes it becomes quite fun and silly. If they made a remake which had some other reason why the tapes got wiped I'd give it another star.

I guess there is something to be said for the characters and plot which change rapidly. It's a big parody of itself and the movie-by-community-committee. Maybe a kid said "I know - we'll make his head magnetised!" and it somehow wrote itself into the film and the film within a film and was supposed to be explained that way (I wouldn't know - I was too busy trying not to bash my head against a wall). It's clever, yet strangely irritating and not funny enough to pull you through to enjoyment most of the time.

The gold moments were when they copied other movies - some of the remakes and silly jokes were classic.
