Complex Magazine released their next big 100 list, the 100 Best Movies of the 2000s. While I'm a fan of many of the movies included in the list (it's a much more eclectic list than any other compilation movie critics or databases will put together), I'm not sure I agree with how the top 20-1 plays out.
Funny it turns out, I have seen 59 out of the 100 listed movies. Exactly the same number of albums I've listened to in Complex's list of the Best 100 CD's.

And click here to go through the list of the Top 100 to read the explanations and to see what movies I've missed out on. I'm listing them in alphabetical order (not in listed order), but these are the movies I'm embarrassed to say I haven't seen yet: 28 Days Later, Bad Santa, The Believer, Best in Show, Cocaine Cowboys, Collateral, Death to Smoochy, District 9, Dogtown and Z-Z-Boys, Donnie Darko, Drag Me to Hell, Eastern Promises, Fahrenheit 9/11, Hustle and Flow, The Incredibles, Mulholland Drive, Munich, Paid in Full, The Pledge, Shaolin Soccer, Shaun of the Dead and Sin Nombre.
I will be seeing them all shortly.
