The MoFo Top 100 of the 2000s Countdown

Hot Fuzz? Strange entry although never seen it

Hot Fuzz and Let the Right One In are both fantastic films and deserving entries on the list. Although neither made my ballot, both are for me.

pahaK turned me on to "Let the Right One In". And for that, thank you. Not really a fan of horror, but this one grabbed me. " Hot Fuzz" was okay, nowhere near my top 50 of the decade.

Hot Fuzz was #7 on my ballot.

It’s freaking amazing!

One of the best comedies ever made and peak Edgar Wright. The script is so tightly packed with jokes and subtle little details that I still discover new things even on my fifth watch or whatever I’m on…

It’s hilarious, but most importantly, it’s clever. The humor demands your attention. It demands your presence. It’s not like American comedies filled with dick jokes. This is actually well written, well structured jokes, delivered like only the British can. Beautiful.

Hot Fuzz was my #4

Hot Fuzz is really funny but I eliminated it pretty quickly.

Even though Let the Right One In is semi-blood-soaked, the heart and soul of it is the tentative, but tender relationship between two outsider loners who are allowed to feel comfortable with themselves while spending time with each other. The snowbound Swedish landscape is also an important "character" in the film. Allegedly, the title of this film comes from a Morrissey song about letting the right one into your heart, but I prefer to extend that to let the right vampire into your home so that being can get in and stay in your heart. it remains the most-original, evocative horror flick of the 2000s. Cut it from my list near the end.

Color me surprised. I never even considered Hot Fuzz as something that would make this list.

Meanwhile, Let the Right One In was my #12. Something must have happened as I was putting my final list together, as I like The Descent more than this film, but somehow managed to place it 2 spots lower. If I redid my list today, I would swap those two flicks. That said, Let the Right One In is fantastic, and one of the best modern horror films ever made.

Hot Fuzz? WTF? I haven't seen it and have no desire to see it but I had no idea it was this loved on the forum.

I've seen Let the Right One In twice and twice I didn't care for it.

Hot Fuzz, what in the heck is that? Never even heard of it, it sounds like an Adam Sandler movie.

Let the Right One In was one of PahaK better HoF noms, I respected it and see why it's loved.

It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who knows me even a little that Let the Right One In was my #1. It was at the top of my Foreign ballot and #3 on my All-Time ballot. On this decade list, no other movie threatened its position. The best vampire film ever made, and an excellent bleak coming-of-age story. A perfect blend of horror, drama, and romance.

I haven't seen Hot Fuzz.
