VOTE: Best Films of the 2000s

A community vote to find the best films from 2000 to 2009 (using Letterboxd dates)

In the comments below, vote for up to 10 films. 1 point goes to each film you pick, and you don't have to rank your selections. Films don't have to already be on the list, you're welcome to induct new entries.

You can change your votes at a later time if you want.

My personal favourites of the 2000s are here.

The list is sorted by points, then alphabetically by film name.

Other votes I run: Directors | Sci-Fi Films | Comedy Films | Romance Films | Animated Films | LGBTQ+ Films | Horror Films | 1990s Films | 1980s Films | 1970s Films | 1960s Films | 1950s Films | 1940s Films | 2018 Films

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED
