Looking over films of the past decade (a list that was once up to 100 but needed to be trimmed for everyone's sake), we realized that something else is clearly important to us – filmmakers with personality. No one makes films quite like Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Charlie Kaufman, Baz Luhrmann, Spike Lee, Guillermo del Toro, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Christopher Nolan, David Cronenberg, or Pixar. The movies produced by these sublime filmmakers are the products of people who don't just “make movies.” Each one puts their personal stamp on their work, something we clearly value in the art form that we love. Shouldn't all great art reflect not just a studio voice but the personality of the people who make it? Upon reflection, it’s clear films of the 2000s definitely reflected the personalities of the decade's best filmmakers. So, without further ado….
Pssst, want to check out the Movie Retriever's The 50 Best Films of the 2000s list in our new look?
