50 Best Movies of the 2000s

By Vlad Zakh · May 10, 2026

Drama thought provoking

The 2000s were when streaming and superhero franchises quietly took root, but the best films of the decade look nothing like either. The Dark Knight leads, followed by City of God, Gladiator, The Departed and Memento. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, There Will Be Blood and In the Mood for Love show how much range the decade had once you leave the blockbusters behind.
