Characters from Spirited Away, Pan's Labyrinth, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
The 2000s was a decade filled with technological advancements, fear, and increasingly cinematic television, but it was also a good time for film itself, as a medium. Watching such movies today is interesting, too, given movies from the start of the decade are arguably old enough to be considered classics , and generally, some of the most technically proficient to come out during said decade also hold up eerily well.
This narrative is told by focusing on a rat who longs to become a chef, and the unlikely bond that forms between him and a bumbling young man who can be quite literally puppeteered by the rat chef. Ratatouille sounds absurd on paper , but the execution makes it work. You buy into the world of the film, find yourself swept up in the humor and moments of genuine tension, and then will surely feel your heart sufficiently warmed by the film’s end. Magnifique stuff.
8 'Grizzly Man' Director: Werner Herzog Grizzly Man is debatably among the greatest documentary movies of all time, and is easily one of the best of its decade. It paints a portrait of an unusual, troubled, and ultimately tragic individual named Timothy Treadwell, documenting the way he spent time among grizzly bears in the Alaskan wilderness, and how this dangerous passion of his ultimately led to a violent death.
Release Date August 25, 2006 Director Guillermo del Toro Cast Ivana Baquero , Sergi López , Maribel Verdú , Doug Jones , Ariadna Gil , Álex Angulo Runtime 112 minutes 6 'Spirited Away' Director: Hayao Miyazaki Speaking of great fantasy movies made outside America during the 2000s, here’s Spirited Away, which is sometimes viewed as Hayao Miyazaki’s greatest filmmaking accomplishment .
City of God balances a rather large number of characters well, and ends up feeling intensely cinematic and brutally real at the same time. It’s a relatively grim crime film throughout, but has a hint of hope and speaks to what can be achieved through perseverance and determination to break free . It’s a film that feels both epic and intimate, and is one of the most striking and impactful of the 2000s.
It’s such an intricately written and expertly made movie, satisfying as a drama, a war film, a thriller, and something of a darkly comedic adventure movie all at once. Inglourious Basterds has a bit of everything genre-wise, and excels when it comes to things like visuals, writing, suspense, and acting. It ends with a character referring to something as his masterpiece, and it’s not hard to picture Tarantino thinking the same thing about Inglourious Basterds upon concluding it.
