Last year around this time, I started to do a list of the best movies of the 2000s. I got about halfway through and realized that after writing small reviews of each of these movies, I felt like taking my life as violently as possible. So instead of going through each and every one of these movies (which there are 111), I am just going to list them with the directors and years. That way I don't kill myself.
That being said, here goes nothing...
