HERE is my Top 100 of the decade, in MoFo List form.

I will probably shake my ballot up slightly, it won't be those top twenty-five in that order, for strategic purposes if nothing else. I love all hundred of those movies. Scan through there. There may be some you haven't thought of in nearly twenty years, some you may have heard of but never seen, and some that you don't know what in the fart I am talking about. Ask me about any of them, I am willing to gush.

Ok, you could add https://www.movieforums.com/lists/custom/307, I've made it public in case you'd wish to, but :

It's just the list I'm using, so it does also feature a few very promising movies that I wanted to see for a long time but still haven't watched. Namely :

Zodiac,
the Pianist,
Memories of Murder,
Breach,
Adaptation
Let the right one in.

So, it's only at 89% a list of endorsement (for now). I can relocate these at the bottom, but, well, just signaling it in case it matters.

Oh also, you know what ?

$9.99 was from 2008.

Though I haven't seen the 2002 Solaris, thumbs up for including it (The 1972 movie and book are among my favorites)

Doesn't. Check your original HERE's link (in your original post, not your latest answer).

custom/217 sends to the public display, addlist.php?listid=217 to your private one, inaccessible to others.

This movie is so insane. I don't want to spoil it (even the trailer spoils hilarious surprises). In particular, I don't want to spoil how clever it is, how much it makes sense. The premise sound completely random. An asteroid is about to impact Earth, cities are deserted, the planet is more or less doomed. A few very different people find themselves chatting in a music shop, discussing a fabled album's track, a rock song that is said to be able to save the world, and which features ten seconds of silence for unknown reasons. Everyone has their theory on that. The film is a series of episodes about the fabrication of the reception of that song, which are such a delight by themselves that you soon cease wondering where the film is going with that. It goes places. One of my favorite movies ever.

Yeah this one is fun/great. Rarely see it mentioned so good rec!

Ok, I might do these every other day, but based on what I've logged on Letterboxd, this is my Top 10 for 2000...

  1. Memento
  2. Requiem for a Dream
  3. In the Mood for Love
  4. Traffic
  5. Amores Perros
  6. Gladiator
  7. Cast Away
  8. American Psycho
  9. O Brother, Where Art Thou?
  10. Bamboozled

Some honorable mentions, or other films that I think deserve attention...
  • Barking Dogs Never Bite
  • Bring It On
  • Best In Show
  • Ginger Snaps
  • Love & Basketball

I should also rewatch films like Almost Famous, You Can Count on Me, Quills, High Fidelity, Snatch, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It's been too long since I've seen them for me to properly rank.

Immediately springing to mind: You Can Count on Me, The Contender, Quills, Once, Snatch, Session 9….aside from the more obvious choices as well. I’ll post more as I recall them.
Pixar will have a heavy presence on my list, as well as Studio G.

Oh yeah! 3-Iron is good!

A lot of those mentioned by Tak have been on my watch list for ages.

Will be watching Wendy and Lucy, Millenium Actress, and Polytechnique soon, as those three are on Tubi.

Will be checking the others out to see if they appear on any of the streaming channels I have available.

Polytechnique in particular was one that I hadn't heard a lot about and it had a really strong impact on me.

Anyway, in the last hour I went from not having thought about this countdown too much to deciding I'll be really upset if Mysterious Skin doesn't make the list.
