With the recent passing of the New Year. I compiled my List of the best films from January 1st, 2000 Through December 31st, 2009.




Same parameters as my All Time list (Film must have 2+ viewings).

*Honorable Mentions* either missed the cut or didn't fit my parameter

• Cast Away
• Kill Bill
• The Departed
• A Beautiful Mind

Dishonorable Mentions (Just did not like these at all, or IMO extremely Overrated)

My All Time Top 10

I decided to post my Top 10 personal favorites of all time to give potential followers an understanding of my taste in films

After the Top 4 this list gets difficult.

1. Rear Window (1954) (D. - Alfred Hitchcock)
2. Citizen Kane (1941) (D. - Orson Welles)
3. A Clockwork Orange (1971) (D. - Stanley Kubrick)
4. Gangs of New York (2002) (D. - Martin Scorsese)
5. Psycho (1960) (D. - Alfred Hitchcock)
6. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) (D. - Ken Hughes)
7. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) (D. - Stanley Kubrick)
8. Gladiator (2000) (D. - Ridley Scott)
9. It's a Wonderful Life (1946) (D. - Frank Capra)
10. The Ten Commandments (1956) (D. - Cecil B. Demille)

This list is subject to change. All the films on this list I have seen 2 or more times. Now there are some great films that would rank higher but unfortunately, I have only been able to view them once. i.e. Original versions of The Planet of the Apes, and The Day the Earth Stood Still. I purposely exculded a Star Wars film, do not make me choose a favorite, you won't like the answer.

If you already have not figured out, my Favorite Director is Alfred Hitchcock. My Favorite Actor - Jimmy Stewart. And Favorite Actress - .
