Movies of the Early 2000s, Ranked in the Order I Enjoyed Them


I think the movies of the early 2000s were much better than those of the late 90s.  In the early 2000s the direct-to-video market wasn't as much of a factor, and content was overall more original.  Still-awesome movies like the first Matrix and Starship Troopers aside, the movies of the early 2000s seem more focused, and less absorbed with making a more colorful (or "extreme") version of what came before.


The movies at the top are movies I'd recommend.  The movies at the bottom are holdovers from the days of Blockbuster, when bottom shelf rentals could still make a buck if they either had the right cover or aimed for the right demographic.

*Why is this ranked so high?  Because knowing what I know about Steven Seagal I found it hilarious.
