The 100 Greatest Movies of the 21st Century

The trouble with most “Greatest Movies” lists is that they have to include boring old stuff from the 50’s that nobody actually wants to watch anymore.

Sure, there’s still a few good old flicks, but if I’m going to be renting a movie for the night I want something a bit more recent. With that in mind, I present the 100 greatest movies since the year 2000 (feel free to add your own picks in the comments):
