00s Movies
Furnace [2007]
Furnace milked the shit out of its creepy prison setting to compensate for the underdeveloped characters and formulaic plot.
Saved! [2004]
Movies about religion are often boring and cringe but not Saved!, a smart and entertaining teen comedy offering a different perspective.
Swordfish [2001]
Non-stop action, a very prophetic story, and one hell of a cast make Swordfish a movie that’s very juicy and entertaining. Plus Halle Barry is naked.
Tropa de Elite AKA Elite Squad [2007]
Based on real events, Tropa de Elite AKA Elite Squad is a harrowing and incredibly engaging tale of urban violence, corruption, and crime.
Old School [2003]
Offering almost non-stop laughs, Old School proves that the formula of the raunchy eighties comedies can still work in the new century.
Man on Fire [2004]
Man on Fire is a slow-burning but very compelling thriller featuring an excellent story and even better performances.
Handsome Harry [2009]
Behind this deceptively easygoing title, Handsome Harry hides an engaging slow-burner exploring controversial issues.
Quills [2000]
For the longest time, I couldn’t force myself to watch Quills, expecting it to be too intricate and attention-demanding. Oh
Middle Men [2009]
Behind a deceptively plain title, Middle Men hides an engaging and hilarious movie about the pioneers of Internet porn based on true events.
The Disappearance of Alice Creed [2009]
Smart and gripping from moment one, The Disappearance of Alice Creed is a minimalist neo-noir crime thriller you need to watch.
John Q [2002]
Incredibly important, emotional, and compelling, John Q, starring Denzel Washington, is a movie that they don’t want you to see.
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead [2007]
Effortlessly compelling, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead is not just a slow-burning crime thriller but also a fascinating character study.
Chasing Sleep [2000]
Intelligent, authentic, and filled with symbolism, Chasing Sleep is one of those slow-burners you need to be in the right mood to watch.
Love Object [2003]
Dark, with a twisted sense of humor, Love Object is a movie that explores many subjects like sexuality and alienation and is very current with its story.
Criminal [2004]
Refreshing and entertaining, Criminal is a criminally underrated conman movie starring John C. Reilly and Diego Luna you should check out.
Splice [2009]
Willing to push the limits, Splice is a creepy science fiction horror movie equally thought-provoking and visually unsettling.
Session 9 [2001]
If you’re looking for an authentic psychological horror, I give you Session 9, shot on location at the Danvers State Mental Hospital.
El Habitante Incierto AKA The Uncertain Guest [2004]
As a definition of a psychological thriller, El Habitante Incierto is an incredibly engaging and creative movie with a distinctly bizarre sense of humor.
The Plague [2006]
We will be battling another batch of nasty kids in The Plague, a messy horror movie with an intriguing central concept and creepy atmosphere.
An American Crime [2007]
A harrowing drama based on the true story of Sylvia Likens with incredibly strong performances by Ellen Page and Catherine Keener is an intense experience.
Wind Chill [2007]
Choosing mystery over graphic violence, Wind Chill is a solid horror movie making the most of its snowing setting and Emily Blunt.
Novocaine [2001]
Featuring a familiar story of a man stuck in a rut revived by a pretty girl, Novocaine is a mildly amusing crime comedy with edgier Martin.
Luther [2003]
Fascinating, thought-provoking, and captivating, Luther is a masterpiece of modern cinema exploring not just religion but also us, humans.
![The Vicious Kind [2010] Movie Review Recommendation](https://subversiverabbit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/The-vicious-kind.jpg)
The Vicious Kind [2009]
While it seems like another indie dramedy about a dysfunctional family, The Vicious Kind is an engaging character study with a healthy dose of humor and romance.
Battle Royale AKA Batoru Rowaiaru [2000]
Highly controversial and bizarre, Battle Royale is a Japanese action movie about more than just teens killing each other on an island.
Frontière(s) [2007]

City Island [2009]
This easygoing indie movie is something that you need to check out. Although not so serious as American Beauty or
Solomon Kane [2009]
They just don’t make cool sword and sorcery movies like Solomon Kane anymore. This is a stylish action adventure with

Youth in Revolt [2009]

![We Own the Night [2007] Movie Review Recommendation](https://subversiverabbit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/we-own-the-night.jpg)
We Own the Night [2007]
Although this movie may seem to be something that is going to be remembered, I don’t think it will happen.
Ben X [2007]
Exploring issues like high-school bullying, social anxiety, and alienation in a modern and intelligent way, Ben X is a masterpiece and a must-see.
Silent Hill [2006]
Featuring an all-consuming nightmarish atmosphere and creepy visuals, Silent Hill is a horror movie you simply need to experience.

Vantage Point [2008]
If you want to see Mr. Matthew Fox from Lost in some other flick check out this one. Besides him,
Holes [2003]

Mystic River [2003]
Compelling and brooding, Mystic River is a character study masquerading as a neo-noir thriller featuring stunning performances.
The Village [2004]
Eerie and atmospheric, The Village is not your usual horror movie but more of a thriller with a subversive twist coming from M. Night.
The Proposition [2005]
Raw, honest, and gripping, The Proposition is a different type of a modern western movie set in the unforgiving Australian outback.
Appaloosa [2008]
If you’re looking for a classical western experience, Appaloosa is a great choice, featuring an excellent cast and an even better script.
Cargo [2009]
With an immersive and mysterious atmosphere, Cargo is a visually stunning European science fiction movie with a questionable script and engaging story.
