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....

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

People are always talking about how much time they waste...

In traffic, in grocery lines, at the doctor's office, listen to pointless stories, etc...

Watching movies gets lost in that pile of laundry. We watch dumb things. So what I've decided to do is see how many "good" movies I've seen in my 25 years on the same planet on which "Pootie Tang" was filmed. This is completely subjective and based on Rotten Tomatoes' list of 100 best movies of each year. I'm starting with the 2000s and working my back. They are in order from best reviewed. The numbers are just for listing, of course...)
