The 2000s were a notable decade in film history. Since the turn of the century, CGI had made significant advancements, but not enough to completely eclipse storytelling, as is so frequently the case now. Additionally, indie films with a low to moderate budget might still have an impact at the box office during that time. The aughts also saw some of the best filmmakers ever working at the pinnacle of their craft, including Scorsese, Nolan, Tarantino, Anderson (Wes and Paul Thomas), the Coens, Fincher, etc.
These and other factors made the 2000s a terrific decade for moviegoers, and the following are some of the best films of the period.
