Best Films of the 2000s: Q1 • Page 2

I put Werckmeister Harmonies on. The main guy looks like MacGruber

 

That’s one that’ll be on my list forever and I’ll never get around to it.

 

I thought it was one of those 6+ hour ones but it’s only 2.5

 

Freddy Got Fingered is unironically my favorite movie of all time. I truly think it's had a bigger impact on comedy than any other film this century.

Number 2 might be the better choice for Jackass but one of the films deserves representation.

 

It’s been experiencing a revisited revival lately so I can see why it’s on the list.

 

It’s the absolute best version of an artist using an existing IP to make a grand artistic statement and even attempting to create a new visual language

 

It may take me a few years to get a list since I have a lot to see.

 

Please pay attention to Werckmeister Harmonies.

 

I am! I had to pause it after that guy’s speech to look up what the hell he was talking about in relation to the title of the film. I wanna see that whale!

 

Solid list, especially exciting to see someone else who appreciated and enjoyed Babylon!

I was talking movies with my friend after Nosferatu and they were a fan of Von Tier so I recommended The Idiots (@SpyKi), but turns out they hadn't even seen Dogville.
