Thanks Thief for posting your top Letterboxd movies for the 2000s. I'll have to do some research on those and see if there's some that I want to watch before the countdown, I'm sure there is! In fact I see The Exploding Girl which someone recommend to me in my 2000s Rec thread. I plan on watching that one real soon.

Thanks!

That's one hell of a lineup, by the way. I haven't seen Burials or Jesse James, but the other four are either shoe-ins or strong contenders for my ballot.

Three Burials topped HP's last, so I just had to check it out. The man knows his films! Run, don't walk, to watch Three Burials...



Thus far I've rewatched Furîzu mî, Gongdong gyeongbi guyeok, Mulholland Dr., Gangs Of New York, Panic Room, 21 Grams, Taegukgi hwinalrimyeo, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man, Død snø, Merantau, The Loved Ones, Gokudô kyôfu dai-gekijô: Gozu and Hyôryû-gai. A few of those are still in contention for a spot on my ballot.
