Cherry picking great 2000s movies has become a little hobby of mine, so do you have any to recommend? No romance or horror films, those just aren't for me (Coraline not withstanding). The greats I've seen so far:
Gladiator
Anchorman
Borat
Idiocracy
The Dark Knight and Batman Begins
The Incredibles
Moon (which is amazing, by the way)
District 9
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Up
Ratatouille
Inglourious Basterds
All of the Harry Potter films
Kung Fu Panda (the first time Dreamworks reached Pixar quality imo)
Coraline
Wall•E



This might just do nobody any good.
Hmm, now I’m trying to think of movies that best sum up the decade...

In the Loop, United 93, Burn After Reading, Team America, 25th Hour...

Dogville?

Lol. I thought you were asking for 2000 recommendations *slaps self in head

Yes, I thought Moon was amazing as well.

Just off the top of my head before ducking out

Snatch
Battle Royale
Erin Brockovich
American Psycho (maybe. I would call it thriller/drama rather than horror)
O Brother Where For Art Thou
Boiler room

That'll do at the mo.



You might like some or all of these....
City Of God
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Nightcrawler
The Raid



A few favorites:

There Will Be Blood
No Country for Old Men
Pan's Labyrinth
The Lives of Others
Gomorrah
Read My Lips
No Man's Land
Talk to Her
Grizzly Man
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
Amelie
Memento
OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies
Synecdoche, New York
Adaptation
