The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown
 
https://i.imgur.com/2D5wAY4.png

Welcome to the MovieForums Top 100 of the Aughts (the 2000s!) Countdown!

The 100% OFFICIAL bona-fide, certified list of films released in the years between 2000 and 2009, as voted for by our distinguished members.



88 ballots were submitted, almost all of them at full capacity (25 entries). According to the MoFo record-keepers, that's the third most ballots submitted among all the MoFo countdowns, so thanks to each and every one of you that took the time to submit a ballot. That makes this list *yours*.

The Voters: Tugg, John W Constantine, MovieFan1988, mrblond, Guaporense, Nope1172, Steve Freeling, The Rodent, Hey Fredrick, donniedarko, Torgo, sumantra roy, Harry Lime, Citizen Rules, TheUsualSuspect, SpelingError, Allaby, Thursday Next, ahwell, Skepsis93, KeyserCorleone, Takoma11, Wooley, kgaard, ash_is_the_gal, John Dumbear, GulfportDoc, Thief, Daakmore, Aidanc, ScarletLion, seanc, Captain Spaulding, PHOENIX74, edarsenal, Miss Vicky, thracian dawg, Deschain, John McClane, Fabulous, mattiasflgrtll6, Rockatansky, AgrippinaX, pahaK, MovieMeditation, Okay, John-Connor, Chypmunk, CosmicRunaway, ueno_station54, xSookieStackhouse, gomorra82, Holden Pike, mark f, resopamenic, rbrayer, Captain Terror, Diehl40, cricket, Kaplan, Wyldesyde19, Yomi, rauldc14, Yoda, Jinnistan, Frightened Inmate No. 2, ynwtf, Pussy Galore, crumbsroom, Cobpyth, ApexPredator, Taz, Siddon, dadgumblah, Jabs, gbgoodies, jiraffejustin, Iroquois, gandalf26, Sedai, beelzebubble, Death Proof, WHITBISSELL!, Derek Vinyard, CaptainT, JayDee, ScannerDarkly, sarah f



637 movies were voted for, with a lot of really great ones missing the cut. Always remember that this is just a snapshot of the collective preferences of the whole of MoFo, so don't sweat it if your favorites didn't make it, but rather take the opportunity to explore the ones that you haven't seen, and share your favorites that missed it.

So as we get ready for the countdown to begin, feel free to chime in with any prediction, tidbits and reviews as we reveal each film, or any healthy discussion about it. Just DON'T share your full list until the end.

Let's Go!



Acknowledgment: Other than every voter, I want to thank all of you for putting this burden on the n00b. With only a year here, that means you either trust me or you hate me. Still not sure :D Finally, I want to thank @Yoda for holding my hand so far. We're going to be here for a while, so I hope you don't mind me holding tight for a bit more.

The MoFo tradition is to honor the One Pointers. What are those? Well, those are films that received exactly one point, meaning that a single person had them in their last spot of the ballot (25th), with no votes from anyone else.

It is common for people here to use that spot to put the spotlight on a rather obscure film, a
"hidden gem", or just a bizarre nomination just for kicks. For this countdown we ended up with 38 one pointers, so brace yourself!
  • 49 Up (2005)
  • All or Nothing (2002)
  • An American Crime (2007)
  • Anger Management (2003)
  • Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (2001)
  • Atonement (2007)
  • Bellamy (2009)
  • Beyond the Sea (2004)
  • A Bittersweet Life (2005)
  • Blade II (2002)

  • Bon Cop Bad Cop (2006)
  • Brand Upon the Brain! (2006)
  • Bubble (2005)
  • The Bucket List (2007)
  • The Cat Returns (2002)
  • Detroit Metal City (2008)
  • The Fog of War (2003)
  • Frida (2002)
  • Funky Forest: The First Contact (2005)
  • Harry Brown (2009)

  • Idiots and Angels (2008)
  • Jason X (2001)
  • Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
  • Lust, Caution (2007)
  • My Dinner with Jimi (2003)
  • National Treasure (2004)
  • The Oh in Ohio (2006)
  • The Pool (2007)
  • Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical (2005)
  • Remember the Titans (2000)

  • The Salton Sea (2002)
  • Spider-Man 3 (2007)
  • Surf's Up (2007)
  • Swimming Pool (2003)
  • This Is England (2006)
  • Wet Hot American Summer (2001)
  • World's Greatest Dad (2009)
  • Youth Without Youth (2007)



Here's another funny game. Try to guess who voted for what, as people claim their one pointers :D

Quick note: I plan to post the one-pointers in a minute, and start the countdown tomorrow. As usual, there are some technical mumbo-jumbo that Yoda has to complete now that the thread is live, but I expect this to be rolling tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'm gonna borrow an idea from @Thursday Next, from her Foreign Film Countdown... so what are your predictions/faildictions:

  • What will films #100 and #99 be?
  • Which director will appear the most times?
  • How many animated films will make it?
  • What year from the decade will have the most entries?

Have fun!

My thought as well.

I'm interested to see how many English language vs non-English language films there are, especially considering the semi-recent foreign language countdown.

*I just seen that for the first time a few weeks ago and if I hadn't sent my ballot in I would've voted for it.

#99 Probably some horror flick I'd never watch:p

Director who appears the most: Spielberg, wait a minute everyone hates Spielberg, at least the hipsters do;) What's the name of that director everyone thinks is the cat's meow? Yeah that one, he'll have the most movies make the list.

Surf's Up got four votes in the Animation Countdown and sneaked onto the list at #99 back in 2014, but it gets very little love around here.

I watch this movie at least once a year and it's one of my go-to picks to cure sadness or boredom. I love the characters and the concept and it's just so light-hearted and fun. I highly recommend it.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown
 
Interesting. None of mine are in the one-pointers this time, which means at least one other person voted for my #25, just like the foreign language countdown.

Wyldesyde19 12-05-21 11:11 PM
Spider Man 3? Blade 2? Jason x? National Treasure?
*blinks in amusement*

Well then….Lust, Caution was my 1 pointer, and I wasn’t sure if it would have been. It’s an erotic spy thriller, directed by Ange Lee.

……I swear Mr Minio didn’t hijack my profile….stop looking at me like that.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown
 
No one pointer for me, but I will say Bucket List was on my final 38 I considered and in reality it is probably in my 25, but I left it off cause I figured it wouldn't get the votes and I was right, so kudos to whoever voted for it.

National Treasure is great fun and kudos to whoever did that too.

Remember the Titans as a one pointer is a shame. Real good.

Miss Vicky 12-05-21 11:12 PM
I've seen a handful of these movies:
  • An American Crime (2007)
  • Anger Management (2003)
  • The Bucket List (2007)
  • My Dinner with Jimi (2003)
  • Surf's Up (2007)

I can't stand Adam Sandler so Anger Management is not my cup of tea. An American Crime and The Bucket List are pretty good. I know I watched My Dinner with Jimi for the Hall of Fame, but don't remember what I thought of it offhand. And, of course, I love Surf's Up.

As for the ones that made it, I've seen 8. Whoever voted for Kung Pow deserves all my praise. I wouldn't have had any problems putting it on my list. It still stands as one of the most hilarious theater-going experiences I've ever had.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown
 
Ah, the one-pointer. Always one of the finer gambles on this site because you're effectively competing blindly with everyone else to be the one person to vote a particular film onto the list. After some deliberation, I chose Don Hertzfeldt's Rejected - it definitely feels like someone else had the same bright idea as I did (pretty sure that happened when I tried the same thing with It's Such A Beautiful Day on the all-timer list). Be that as it may, it's not hard to see why it deserves to get singled out in this particular manner as its absurd little parody of educational cartoons crystallises a particular brand of turn-of-the-millennium humour so well that I guess I shouldn't be surprised other people would vote for it. Maybe I should have gone with Miami Vice after all.

Wyldesyde19 12-06-21 01:02 AM
I almost had Miami Vice as my 1 pointer, but it didn’t survive the final round.

Seems like my one-pointer actually made it. I wonder if people can guess which one is mine (there's nothing too obvious, right)?

Other than my own one-pointer, I think I've only seen three. Don't really seem to be many of my kind of films among them.

Wasn't going for a 1-pointer but I got it anyway lol.

CosmicRunaway 12-06-21 03:50 AM
I've seen a handful of the one-pointers: Anger Management, A Bittersweet Life, Blade II, Bon Cop Bad Cop, Harry Brown, Jason X, National Treasure, Spider-man 3, and Wet Hot American Summer.

I watched some of Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner a few years back, but not the entire thing. I know it's an important film, but I just wasn't into it at the time. I've seen parts of Kung Pow as well, but I'm unsure if I managed to sit through the entire thing as it was a long time ago haha.

My one-pointer was Bon Cop, Bad Cop. The best way I can describe it is as a "distinctly Canadian" film. It's half in English, half in French, centres around hockey-related crimes, and contains an awful lot of satire that probably doesn't work if you're not Canadian. It's not an amazing film, but it's a fun buddy cop comedy that I quite enjoy thanks to the two leads.

Chypmunk 12-06-21 06:06 AM
I've seen a mere twelve of the one-pointers: All Or Nothing; Anger Management; Atonement; A Bittersweet Life; Blade II; The Bucket List; Harry Brown; Lust, Caution; National Treasure; Surf's Up; The Pool and This Is England.

Of those both A Bittersweet Life and Lust, Caution were in contention for a spot on my ballot but didn't quite make it and The Pool was my own one-pointer.

My ballot:  


Faildictions (millennial edition v1.0):
100. The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra (2001)
99. Hedwig And The Angry Inch (2001)


edit to add:
  • What will films #100 and #99 be? not the above
  • Which director will appear the most times? The Brothers Coen
  • How many animated films will make it? Eleven
  • What year from the decade will have the most entries? 2006

This is good to share. It'll be interesting how much that list has changed in 10 years.

Is there an expected timeframe of posts for the reveals or will it vary @Thief

Thief 12-06-21 09:29 AM
Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown
 
My plan is to post the reveals everyday around the late mornings (EST). Today's first might take a bit longer, but that's the plan. Any deviation, I will try to let you all know.

Yeah, any delays this morning are on me, not him! Been throwing together some last-minute stuff.

To that end, certain little things relating to the layout (particularly on mobile) might change a bit after the countdown starts.

No 1 pointer for me and I've never had one, but I'm sure I'm the only one who voted for some of the movies on my ballot. The Salton Sea and Remember the Titans both almost made my ballot, very surprised Titans only got 1 point.

If Paul Bark: Maul Chop isn't #1, this list is void.

Ok, reveal will be in a few minutes.

Just to give a bit of a prologue, kinda similar to what happened on the Foreign Film Countdown, the movies at #101 and #100 were tied on points, and although the ballot count serves as our tie-breaker, it's fair to let you all know which one was #101.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown
 
As mentioned, both Still Walking and Master and Commander ended up with 65 points. But since the latter was in one more ballot than the other, it ends up at #100.

Chypmunk 12-06-21 11:49 AM
Still yet to see Still Walking but I usually quite like Koreeda's works so hopefully will get round to it at some point. Rewatched Master And Commander as prep for this and it's a good watch but was never in contention for a spot on my ballot. Not much of a Malick fan and have never been drawn to watch The New World.

Seen: 1/2 (Own: 1/2)
My ballot:  


Faildictions (millennial edition v1.0):
98. Catch Me If You Can (2002)
97. Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008)

I've not seen Still Walking; Master and Commander and The New World are both fine movies. Not on my list (or even considered) but they are solid entries.

65 points as a barometer doesn't fare well for a lot of films on my list.

Haven't seen any of the 3.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown
 
I briefly considered Master and Commander for my ballot, but ultimately, ended up pulling it. When I was finalizing my ballot, I was trying to ensure I was including films I liked from all genres, as well as animation etc. Master and Commander ended up getting cut so I could include an animated film. Anyway, great stuff, I love the score, and the tense scenes of nautical battle as we travel along with the crew aboard their little wooden world.

kgaard 12-06-21 12:00 PM
My one-pointer was 49 Up. I had a few reasons for choosing it: it's representative of a fascinating--if flawed in design and ethically dubious--documentary that it's hard to imagine being replicated in a social media age. It's not the best of the series, exactly (if I had to pick one I'd choose 28 Up), but it is good in and of itself, and they're really all of a piece. And, for another month at least, I'm 49 myself, so this particular episode is particularly meaningful for me right now.

Thanks again to Thief for running the countdown! And to Yoda for all of the other stuff.

I had Atanrjuat: The Fast Runner at #25 (my one pointer), a brilliant and important film.

Did it? It made the 100 spot over Still Walking, so would say it won.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown
 
And these are three good movies to start out the countdown. It's going to be a good one!

Still Walking is a quietly-powerful family drama, but not one of my faves from him. Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is a solid
movie. I liked the characters and the action, plus I was impressed that we got to see the Galapagos Islands. The New World -
- breathtaking visually, but the two halves of the story (the two Johns) don't seem to fit together. Overall a very good start.

CosmicRunaway 12-06-21 12:18 PM
I haven't seen Still Walking, but I feel like I should probably add it to my watch list since I've liked all 6 of the other films by Kore-eda that I have seen.

I keep meaning to watch Master and Commander, but never seem to remember when I'm trying to find something to watch. Haven't seen The New World either, but that's because I have no desire to.

Seen: 0/2

My List:
25. Bon Cop, Bad Cop (2006) - 1-pointer

I feel this. I'm pretty sure none of the films on the lower part of my list are going to make it now haha.

First, let me say that the banners are GORGEOUS!

I saw parts of Master and Commander in high school, but it wasn't my thing at the time. But now that I know it's a Peter Weir movie I might actually check it out today. So far the only Weir movies I've seen are Truman Show and The Last Wave, both of them among my favorite movies.

I'm not currently in tune with anything by Terrence Malick, but I'll get around to him once I'm done exploring the director's I'm already familiar with. I was planning on exploring more Peter Weir, anyway.

Never heard of Still Walking.


And one more thing... the fact that Kung Pow only got one point is disappointing. Stinky pits and all, baby.

Miss Vicky 12-06-21 12:21 PM
Master and Commander was on my shortlist, but didn't make my ballot. I did vote for a couple of other Russell Crowe films though.

It's been ages since I last watched The New World, but I vaguely remember liking it. I haven't seen Still Walking.

My Ballot:
25. Surf's Up (One-Pointer)

I haven't seen Still Walking and Master and Commander, but I have seen The New World and it was was #25 on my ballot. It's shot really well, it contains Malick's sensually pleasing poetic style, and, more importantly, it seems as if the characters are aware of their fates before it even happens to them, yet are resigned to them. The ending, in particular, ranks amongst the most powerful things Malick has ever done. One could criticize this film for its length and, while I struggled with it somewhat with my first viewing, it grew on me quite a bit when I revisited it.

Master and Commander is a damn fine film, wish they got around to making the supposed trilogy.

And we’re starting early with the Malick I see.

Actually, up until I looked it up just now, I didn't even know it was a Napoleonic war film. If I had known that, I probably would've checked it out around the time I watched Abel Gance's Napoleon and finished the novel War and Peace.

Messes with the layout.

Also kinda dissonant: it's supposed to be a banner draped over the post, but there's nothing in that place to drape it over.

I might be able to add it back but it would need to be reworked or repositioned.

New World is the only eligible Malick film for this countdown.

I don't think Master and Commander was in range of landing in my top 25. It's one I might watch once in five years, but there's just not much of a draw there with me.

I hadn't heard of Still Walking until this, and I really haven't seen any of Kore-eda's work.

I saw Master and Commander for the first time just two years ago and, although I thought it was pretty good, I never really considered it.

As for The New World, I've never felt drawn to it. I've been approaching Malick's film with a bit of caution, but I suppose I'll get to it eventually.

Decent start to the list. I'd say Still Walking is my favourite of the bunch - watched it twice earlier this year and a movie's usually got to be pretty good for me to watch it more than once in a calendar year. Master and Commander and The New World are both solid enough in my estimation, even if I do think they're more good than great (though who knows how much that'd change if I gave them another shot).
