Digital_SP's "Top twenty-five films of 00s"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Yeah, another one of those. In my opinion cinema has never been as alive as it was in 00s. Digital video allowed lots of geniuses to emerge who previously couldn’t make films because of the money issues or government’s oppression and also let some other directors such as Michael Mann to literally rebirth. It was almost liberation for cinema. But of course it is all about application. It is just like in painting. You can do watercolors, you can do chalk. The pen can be as potent as the oil. It’s what’s inside that is important. Anyway here are the movies that had impressed, moved and blown me away more intensely than any other movie of the past decade and stayed with me over the years.
