That's too much man. That's 150 movies. It'd take me a while to come up with this list.

Seriously, unless you were a professional critic who has been a critic since around the start of his list criteria, it would take many hours to come up with this list for just about anyone. Top 5 in a year? I have to put a lot of considerations on the table. For starters is it unfair for me to just put dramas down and not comedies? Should it be ok for me to put Hot Fuzz on a Top 5 over There Will Be Blood? I enjoy the former much more than the later, and there are certainly another 4 respectable movies that should make my Top 5 before Hot Fuzz does.

Sorry to the OP, but there is far, far too much thinking involved in this thread for really anyone to take part in it. No one is going to burn 8 hours of their life to come up with an accurate list of their Top 5 movies from each year of the millennia. It's ridiculous. I just see this as total pretentious bullshite to show you've seen more movies than the board as a whole.

I wish people were more history nerds instead of fantasy nerds.... because if ever a trilogy deserved to be made, this was it.

So well done, the movie could have been 6 hours and I'd watch it over. Shame it was a one-off. Not much public demand. I wish Hollywood made more classic adventure movies with a hint of reality and a nod to history.

I recognized how impressive a film Master and Commander was upon first viewing, but it took me two or three viewings to finally enjoy it. I'm with you in wishing that they had made a sequel, but I suppose the box office of the original wasn't worthy of it.

No way I am listing that many films. My top 10 are:
1. True Grit
2. No Country for Old Men
3. Mystic River
4. Dallas Buyer's Club
5. Wolf of Wall Street
6. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
7. Casino Royale
8. The Revenant
9. Sicario
10.Zombieland

No particular order with exception to True Grit. That is my undisputed #1.

Edited to add The Town. Based that solely on the best quote in movie history: "Whose car we gon ta take."

The Mods have taken away our ability to see them, but we did have a 00-10 list that we did in 2011.

Everyone's votes+a full compilation ranking.

glad to see assassination of jesse james getting love. its the most underrated movie of all time, and my favorite western.

i loved mystic river, but i watched it a few months ago and it seemed to be showing its age, which is odd because its not that old.

almost famous
adaptation
sideways
assassination of jesse james
zodiac
prestige
city of god
zero dark thirty (a million times better than argo)
gladiator
lost in translation
