This one makes me sad. Emotionally disgusting but still so strong and beautiful. Not easy to watch. So real.

4. City of God (2002)
Directed by Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund.
Not so long ago this was my favorite movie and my #1 on this list. So place in my "The Best of 00's" was guaranteed.

Cruel story about Rio de Janeiros slums. Nice idea to make a movie without so called "real actors". Zé Pequeno is a badass one of the kind!

5. There Will Be Blood (2007)
There is no movie from Paul Thomas Anderson that I don't own. There is no movie from Paul Thomas Anderson that I haven't seen. There Will Be Blood is the greatest movie from him! Almost one-man-show by Daniel Day-Lewis!
There will Be Blood in visually very impressive movie. This is one of those movies that everyone should own on Blu-ray.
Movie bases in Upton Sinclair's novel Oil! and the screenplay is from Paul Thomas Anderson himself.

6. 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007)
Director Cristian Mungiu wanted to show us the chaos himself proved 20 years ago in Romania. Shame about cruel administration gets very clear. Fantastic story!

7. Grizzly Man (2005)
Directed by Werner Herzog.
This my favorite documentary ever made. Treadwell's way to handle nature is outstanding. Touching true story about a man who didn't fit in our or bear's civilization.


One with nature.

My favorite movie by Clint Eastwood (dir.). Sean Penn's incredible performance as Jimmy Marcum will always be in my mind.


Emotionally very strong movie, hard to watch with dry eyes.

9. The Fountain (2006)
I can't understand this awesomeness. One of the most beautiful movies ever made from Darren Aronofsky.

Amazing story from Aronofky (screenplay) and Ari Handel (story). This film also includes greatest performance from Hugh Jackman. Now he really gives everything he has!

10. Dogville (2003)
Directed by Lars von Trier.
Only a complete moron or very brave artist makes movie without sets. Lars von Trier is great and brave artist, succesful trick! I've never seen such a good acting from Nicole Kidman, now she gives everything she have! Touching story. Makes you use your imagination!

Director Chan-wook Park really convinced my with this movie. Not only bloody story about revenge, this is MARVELLOUS and bloody story about revenge.

12. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)
French cinema is one of the highest class cinemas. Unfortunately most of the French movies I've seen takes place in 60s. Julian Schnabel's (dir.) true story about Elle's editor-in-chief is one of my favorites from 21st century so far. Magnificent performance by Mathieu Amalric!

14. Amores Perros (2000)
So realistic it makes me goose pimples. Amazing work by Alejandro González Iñárritu as a director. This movie was also Gael García Bernal's breakthrough into my favorite actors. Movie is also visually good-looking.

16. No Country for Old Men (2007)

I really like Coen bros' way to make black comedies. Anton Chigurh is one of my favorite villains ever, great performance by Javier Bardem.

17. The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)
Directed by Joel Coen.
My favorite from Coens. There is two options how to watch this movie:
a) Black and white
b) Colors
You must look this by option a). Very beautiful story and visually good-looking.

19. The Dark Knight (2008)
Directed by Christopher Nolan.
Such a cliché isn't it? But I really wanted to add this movie in this list.

People see this movie too often only as Joker's (Heath Ledger) one-man-show but really this is also something more. Christian Bale is amazing as the Batman.
IMAX makes this movie look stunning.

20. 2046 (2004)

I think this is my personal favorite film by Kar Wai Wong. Tony Leung is fantastic and the soundtrack - there is no words to discribe my feelings.

24. WALL-E (2008)
Directed by Andrew Stanton.

Disney's films has been always the same after Finding Nemo. WALL-E just did something new and beautiful that changed my personal opinion about Disney Productions.

Rating can be a little bit too high and I'm about 70% sure that it will get lower after rewatch.

Directed by Michael Haneke.

Unfortunately I haven't YET seen the original version of this movie. But I strongly believe that it can't be worse than this one.

Naomi Watts is one of the actresses that I really like. Her performance - again - is very powerful on lovely.

38. Lost in Translation (2003)

Very different comedy in a good way. Not too hilarious but still fun and beutifull. When I saw this first time that was the time I fell in love with Scarlett Johansson. Not only pretty, also talented young woman. Bill Murray rocks too.
