Remember Dev Patel in Slumdog Millionaire? Check Out Some of The Best Movies of The 2000s

Maybe it’s just nostalgia talking, but, looking back, the noughties were actually pretty nice. Of course, then again, everything looks better when it’s in hindsight and bedazzled.

Sure, the decade might have started off with a bit too much residual denim and iridescence left over from the '90s, but by the time 2009 rolled around we were longing to go back to the days of Brangelina and *NSYNC. It was the cringe era that is now dripping with sweet naivety. And, that many of us are shocked to remember is now two decades ago.

Regardless of how many fashion faux pas you made, or how much you invested into alt-rock CDs that are now obsolete, it’s important to let yourself revisit those years with the forgiving knowledge that you were doing your best. Hey, at least you don’t have as much to kick yourself over as Blockbuster does, seeing that they turned down a chance to buy Netflix in 2000.

From before-their-time brilliance to sign-of-the-time classics, these films have stood out as some of the most memorable titles of the 2000s. Hindsight 2020.
