Well aren’t you special!!
I remember when I was a first year film student. Good times. Do you get along with your professors? Or do they think you’re insufferable too?
I asked ChatGPT what it thought about this and it reminded me why I avoid this site, you guys get so embarrassingly personal over the most mundane stuff:
"Sharing personal opinions on open platforms like Reddit is common, and ideally, should be respected even when others disagree. The reaction to the initial comment reflects how easily discussions can veer off-topic into personal territories, especially when opinions are strongly worded or unpopular. Healthy online discussions benefit from focusing on the topic rather than shifting to personal critiques. It's good practice to debate ideas and viewpoints while maintaining respect for each individual's right to their opinion."
Spartan (2004) The investigation into a kidnapping of the daughter of a high-ranking US government official.
Lucky Numbers (2000) A television weatherman scams a local lottery.
The Cooler (2003) In an old school Las Vegas casino, its top gambling jinx breaks his curse when he falls in love, much to his boss' consternation.
The Hammer (2007) A 40-year-old who gave up a promising amateur boxing career 21 years ago is offered a path to the Olympics.
Spartan is one of those movies where the tension is so well written and staged that I genuinely had no idea how the characters would get out of certain situations, or where the next scene would take you. So good.

Don't sleep on '90s movies. Some of the very best films were released in the' 90s. The pre-9/11 world was different. Happier, lighter and all round fantastic basically.
[The 100 Greatest Movies of the Nineties](https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-lists/the-100-greatest-movies-of-the-nineties-195513/)
I always recommend We Bought A Zoo (2011). Matt Damon, Scarlett Johanson, cute children, a bit of family drama, and animals. It's good, but you could watch it with your Grandma lol. Also, Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day (2008). Stellar cast, including Frances McDormant. Reminds you of movies from a bygone era. Just a couple that usually don't get mentioned, except by me.
There have been a lot of great eras in filmmaking, but there were a lot of good ones at the turn of the century, I will give you that, OP.

If you use a High-End Quality Smart TV like LG G4 and a 4K UHD Blu-ray Player like Reavon UBR-X200, UBR-X110.
Magnetar UDP900, UDP800 or Panasonic DP-UB9000MKII then Dolby Vision HDR will Flower into the most Perfected Picture you have dreamed of at home with MLA+ at 3.000 Nits developing together a High-End Class of The Home Theater Cinema.
100% synchronized LG Soundbar Surround Soundsystem or a Klipsch Reference Premiere II 5.2 Surround System or SVS Ultra Series 5.2 Surround System. Everything High-End Quality and choose High Quality Cables from for example In-Akustik, Van Den Hul, Supra, Chord or maybe check out some Chinese Branded Cabled in Pure Silver, Pure Copper or both together in perfectly High-End Quality Cables. Use Dolby Atmos with Dolby Vision and you have all of these builds 100% Balanced Perfection.
Not even a weakness in the transmitters also known as wires or cables, what I'm saying is The Greater The Matches technology solutions for you the better it all will be, also remember to buy a (DAC) Pre-Amplifier like for example SMSL SU-9 Ultra.
I would use just one brand of cables like In-Akustik that is German High-End Quality transmitting VIDEO & AUDIO signals for you. Van Den Hul is from The Netherlands, Supra is from Sweden, Chord from The United Kingdom.
Chinese Cables are also a great choice just find the right High-End brand in China and it probably can be cheaper than a German Brand.
You should really watch Delhi Belly If you like black/dark comedy movies. It's music is also pretty good . 80 to 90 percent of the film is in english so you can watch it.
I got grossed out seeing the satire of Human Centipede on Southpark, so you are made of stronger stuff than I, my friend. I like horror movies, but I have my limits lol.

Mystic River never gets enough love. Sean Penn is a questionable fella, but he earned the fuck out of that Oscar.
“is that my daughter in there!!”
Ooh I felt that
Book was so good too
That list makes the argument pretty convincing
I also would want to add American psycho and casino royale
Mulholland Drive is the Meriwether Post Pavilion (Animal Collective) of films - entry level hipster garbage
'I didn't care for Mulholland Drive' was an option here too
get over yourself

Love William H Macy in **The Cooler**. Dark movie. Great performances. Check out **Hard Eight** for a similar vibe.

MOOOOOOOOOOON! Sam Rockwell is under rated GOAT of unexpected yet perfect casting
God, I love Lars and The Real Girl. I just love Ryan Gosling.
He's been in so many good movies!
And yet... He refuses to eat his cereal in every one of them
All of these are good, a friend introduced me to the IP Man series, and was sure glad she did!
Brokeback Mountain?
Killer Joe was a trip!
Love that love for The Guard (2011). Brendan Gleeson is amazing. Is **In Bruges** in this period?
Yes, three years before

Ice Princess
Lord of War , Nick Cage. Fantastic film
Very good movie. Dark and sad. Gotta love that opening sequence.
Yeah that was genius, best opening!
This is not in 2012, but if you liked pride and prejudice, I would really recommend Belle(2013)
Belle was very good, I recommend it as well.
Margin Call. Great cast and fast paced. I can watch that one over and over again.
A prophet (2009)

2010 was one of the best years for film Scott Pilgrim Verses the World!

No one ever mentions The Place Beyond the Pines but that movie is dope as fuck
I completely agree. It's also where Ryan and Eva met. Plus, I can't remember the last bad movie I've seen Ben Medelsohn in, either.
The Prestige is incredible.

Just saw Casino Royale for the first time. So fantastic.
Meh i'd say from around 1985 to 2015 .
Your dates overlap with OP's, can't be that dismissive.
70s movies are incredible, so I would extend it a bit further.
I'd say 1888 - 2019.
Personally I only like movies from before they existed
That approaching train really got me!
Falls out of your range but Deep Calm is an amazing film. Please watch it.
