Films in 2000s

I read an article on Indiewire in which film critics curated their favourite individual film from each year of this decade so far on Twitter. So I'm copying the concept and wasting time rather than writing my novel. Seems reasonable enough.

Then I took it further and went back to the millennium. I really have nothing to write in my novel...

2000: Memento
2001: Donnie Darko
2002: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
2003: Lost in Translation
2004: Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
2005: C.R.A.Z.Y.
2006: Science of Sleep
2007: Atonement
2008: Wall.E
2009: Moon

2010: A Single Man
2011: Drive
2012: Frances Ha
2013: Inside Llewyn Davis
2014: Under the Skin
2015: Mad Max: Fury Road
2016: The Handmaiden
2017: Lady Bird
2018: Sorry to Bother You

The dates probably aren't right and 2013 was a tough one because that was the year Before Midnight came out. Inside Llewyn Davis only pipped it by being the film I have watched more times due to my overall fondness for watching sad-sacks on picaresque adventures.

Same goes for 2004 in which Before Sunset came out and will forever be in my heart. Eternal Sunshine is just a more meaningful film for me and is one I watched on repeat as a teenager.
