How many "good" movies have you seen? The 2000s - Part II

Recap: I'm going through Rotten Tomatoes' Top 100 movies of each year, since 1983 (the greatest year EVER...) to see how many "good" movies I've seen since I've been alive. I finished with 2004... but let me say this:

I was at Wal-Mart the other day and I saw pictures of Jessica Simpson, who may or may not be morphing into Wynonna Judd.

Anyhow, I'd normally be against criticism of a person's weight, but when that person's body (not talent) is a huge reason for her success, I think it's, at worst, justifiable. Remember this? She'd probably crush that poor guy's throat today. On with the list.

2005:
  1. Good Night. And, Good Luck
  2. The 40-Year-Old Virgin
  3. Walk the Line
  4. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Notable misses: Capote, Brokeback Mountain (not really), Pride and Prejudice, Batman Begins, Hustle & Flow

2006:
  1. Pan's Labyrinth (SUCKED!)
  2. Little Miss Sunshine
  3. Notes on a Scandal
  4. Inside Man
Notable misses: The Queen, Casino Royale (my man card is under inspection), The Departed, The Last King of Scotland, Thank You For Smoking

2007:
  1. Juno
  2. Knocked Up
  3. The Simpsons Movie
  4. Eastern Promises (none of those promises were that it'd be good...)
  5. Superbad
  6. Breach
Notable misses: Ratatouille (ha!), The Bourne Ultimatum, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood

2008:
  1. The Dark Knight
Notable misses: What's as good as Ledger in The Dark Knight?

Have fun at the movies. Buy two tubs of popcorn, if you're with Jessica Duke....
