All the other end-of-decade lists we've done for the Telegraph have been groping for a consensus, trying to determine which works of art and cultural moments made the biggest splash in the culture. This is a very different list. It's purely one critic's picks: 100 favourite films from the ten years. There are blockbusters, thoroughly obscure conceptual documentaries, and a bit of everything in between.

I haven't been shy about including lesser-known films, partly because the best thing lists can do is encourage people to make new discoveries -- almost everything here is available on DVD somewhere. Bear in mind that these aren't the "defining" films of the Noughties, the most important, or even necessarily the best. They're simply the ones I liked the most. Without further ado...

nb: one film is missing, Les Petites Vacances (2006) doesn't exist in this site.
