Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

What Were the Best Movies of the First Decade of the 21st Century, Part 4

August 27th, 2009 at 02:31pm Will Pfeifer

Continuing the series (which, I promise, will somehow result in an actual top 10 list eventually), here are three more contenders for the top spots on the Oughts list. Can you name them?

    The first one is THE MAN WHO WASN’T THERE. I’m going to kick myself for not remembering the 2nd one because that pic looks very familiar. I’ve never seen the 3rd, I’m pretty sure.

    The third one is IDIOCRACY.

    Bingo on one and three. Here’s a hint for the second one: The main character (and star of the film) is walking toward the camera.

    For some reason I want to say it’s a Wes Anderson movie.

    Oh, and I feel real stoopid because I saw and liked the third movie quite a bit.

    Nope, not a Wes Anderson. Close, though. Very close, in a way.

    Came in late to this one. Dang!

    #2 is Punch-Drunk Love. Haven’t seen it since the theatre, but you can’t forget that suit. What a color.

    So it’s PT Anderson. Which is very close. In a way.

    Yep. Same last name. Otherwise, though, not so close. (Both great directors, though)

    I was right in that I’d feel stoopid when I found out the name of the 2nd movie, at least. I did see PUNCH DRUNK LOVE and liked it a lot.
