My Favorite Movies From the 00 Decade So Far
By an Amazon.com customer
Rambo (Widescreen Edition)Rambo (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.70
This was more than a simple action movie to me. Stallone highlights the genocide occuring in Burma right now. Sadly many wrote this off because of Stallone's age or the assumption that it was mindless action. This my friends was no B movie.
National Treasure (Widescreen Edition)National Treasure (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.85
I didn't really think I'd enjoy this and I certainly don't think it compares to the Indiana Jones Trilogy, but a good action flick for the whole family.
National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)National Treasure 2 - Book of Secrets (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $23.49 / Used from: $8.29
Good sequels are hard to come by and expecting one to be good is even more rare but I couldn't help but have high hopes for this one and they paid off.
Rocky BalboaRocky Balboa
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.94
Hah! And everyone thought Stallone was out of gas! A much more fitting end than Rocky 5.
Live Free or Die Hard (Unrated Edition)Live Free or Die Hard (Unrated Edition)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $2.27
Easily the best movie hands down for the Summer of 2007. Bruce Willis is one of my Demi-Gods.
Sin CitySin City
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.47
I'll put it to you this way, I'm been waiting for the first sequel for over two years now.
Death Sentence (Unrated Edition)Death Sentence (Unrated Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.99
While Kevin Bacon doesn't compare to other action film stars the story was captivating and you really sympathized with his character, hated the gangsters and were completely annoyed by the cop.
Flight of the Phoenix (Widescreen Edition)Flight of the Phoenix (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.01
This is a remake and naturally it got blasted in regards to the original, but I liked it. A nice adventure story.
Blood Diamond (Widescreen Edition)Blood Diamond (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.90
The story is somewhat unbelievable but very hardcore action that's not for the soft hearted. This was much better than DiCaprio's other film, The Departed.
Serenity (Widescreen Edition)Serenity (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.90
Very few understood this film, but any fan of Joss Whedon went crazy in love for this film that served as the conclusion for the cancelled television series Firefly.
Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $0.24
Nice way for Schwarzenegger to exit the movie scene and to think a little over a year later he became the governor of California. I'll admit this doesn't compare to the classic Terminator 2.
Casino Royale (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)Casino Royale (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.88
After a over the top Die Another Day the Bond Franchise returns with a vengenace. James Bond is back in the action packed original rehash of the 00 agent.
A History of Violence (New Line Platinum Series)A History of Violence (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $0.64
I can't describe this film you just have to see it for yourself!
16 Blocks (Widescreen Edition)16 Blocks (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $0.01
While there are similarities to other cop films of the past this film stood well on its own.
Mel Gibson's Apocalypto (Widescreen Edition)Mel Gibson's Apocalypto (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.89
I don't care that this is one of the Top 10 Historically Inacurate films of all time, Mel Gibson made a great movie!
Road to Perdition (Widescreen Edition)Road to Perdition (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $0.33
Great gangster film! I was never crazy about Tom Hanks but maybe I would be if he did more movies like this and Saving Private Ryan.
King Kong (Widescreen Edition)King Kong (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.37
People loved ripping this to shreds but I'd rather watch this than those ancient originals, though I'll admit the movie could've done without Jack Black.
Lord of War (2-Disc Special Edition)Lord of War (2-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $2.81
Exciting, at times funny and even scary. The scene where he walks in the rows of guns the size of fields is disturbing.
Flyboys (Widescreen Edition)Flyboys (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.49
You don't see to many films centered around World War 1. This was apparently based on a true story, but you know they made some of the stuff up. Still great movie.
Minority Report (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)Minority Report (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.55
Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell usually equals death, but the premise for this is just to good to pass up. Even if you typically don't like Sci Fi films I guarantee you'll like this.
The TransporterThe Transporter
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.52
This is easily still Jason Statham's best film. If he ever makes a film that tops this I'll be amazed.
ChaosChaos
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.63
I typically don't like films with Wesley Snipes, besides Blade 1 and 2. Jason Statham's track record in movies was going down, but this movie served as a nice reprieve.
Gangs of New York (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)Gangs of New York (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.17
The plot was obviously good but this is one of those rare movies were I paid attention to the costumes, the setting and the historical context.
10th and Wolf10th and Wolf
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.50
Yeah, I know nobody has heard of this. This gangster flick was better than the Departed.
Red Dragon (Widescreen Collector's Edition)Red Dragon (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $0.54
Not quite the Silence of the Lambs, but an improvement over Hannibal.
A Knight's Tale (Special Edition)A Knight's Tale (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.32
Man this guy was young when he died! Nice soundtrack.
War of the Worlds (Widescreen Edition)War of the Worlds (Widescreen Edition)

Nicely done, even people I know who hate alien invasion films enjoyed this.
Underworld (Unrated Extended Cut)Underworld (Unrated Extended Cut)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $7.99
Up there with Blade in the Vampire action genere, pure joy.
Rush Hour 2 (Special Edition)Rush Hour 2 (Special Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.47
Yes, the re-use some of the old jokes, but they think of some new ones to and the stunts were great. Don't forget to watch the hilarious out takes.
Unleashed (Unrated Widescreen Edition)Unleashed (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.51
Jet Li and Morgan Freeman, hell yeah! I don't like Jet's films as much as Jackie's, especially his more recent works but this rocked!
The Matrix Reloaded (Widescreen Edition)The Matrix Reloaded (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $5.49 / Used from: $0.01
Admit you know you all flocked to the movie theater to see this bad boy. The fights were pure beauty, so the plot was simplistic compared to the original, you want to see a train wreck watch Matrix Revolutions.
Batman Begins (Widescreen Edition)Batman Begins (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $2.75
This really should have at least been nominated for best picture, genious I tell you!
The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Full Screen Edition)The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Full Screen Edition)
Buy used from: $0.75
While I'm not a fanatic like lots of LOTR fans and don't read or watch to many other movies of this nature this was nice eye candy at the theatre.
The Lord of the Rings - The Two TowersThe Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers
Buy used from: $0.44
Better than the first one and that usually doesn't happen.
X2 - X-Men United (Widescreen Edition)X2 - X-Men United (Widescreen Edition)

Left me dying to see the next one!
Daredevil (Director's Cut)Daredevil (Director's Cut)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.95
They should do another one, with or without Ben. If Affleck doesn't want to act in it why not direct, apparantly that's what he's into now.
Kill Bill - Volume OneKill Bill - Volume One
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $2.86
A very good revenge film. The action is over the top, but that at least makes it funny.
Ocean's Eleven (Widescreen Edition)Ocean's Eleven (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $0.01
The sequels suck terribly but this was good even though it takes awhile to get all the characters down, very creative plot.
Gone in 60 SecondsGone in 60 Seconds
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $2.41
Nicholas Cage is another one of my Demi-Gods. It's very hard to hate anything he does.
Star Wars - Episode III, Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition)Star Wars - Episode III, Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.15
Yes some of the acting and dialogue were horrible, but any Darth Vador fan must see this. Great score to boot.
