And Then I Woke Up: The Ten Best Films Of The Noughties

Join us in our decade-based film retrospective, as we delve backwards all the way from 2009 to 1910. Most decade-based best movie lists grant you a whooping 50-100 entries, which makes perfect sense given all the years you have to take into consideration. But what if you were defining a decade in just ten films? Showcasing the very best of its cinematic offerings? Which movies would you recommend to somebody who might only watch ten movies from a given decade? First off, it's the Noughties.

7. No Country For Old Men (2007) (Dir. Joel & Ethan Coen)

Recommended Videos

Adapted from Cormac McCarthy’s also brilliant novel, No Country For Old Men feels like a movie out of all time and place. A relatively simple story told by simple means, the Coen Brothers chose to use a minimal amount of music and clean, precise shots to tell the story of an Average Joe pursued by a terrifying embodiment of evil.

Javier Bardem, of course, took most of the attention for his performance as the hitman tasked with finding Josh Brolin, but there isn’t a performance (or note, for that matter) out of place. When the movie ends with Tommy Lee Jones’ melancholic “…and then I woke up,” you really do feel like the whole experience has been the sum of a strange kind of dream.
