What is the best film of the twenty-first century so far?

My top five:

1. Dead Man's Shoes
2. The Descent
3. Sideways
4. The Fellowship of the Ring
5. Spirited Away

It's a broad church so feel free to dissect my choices, or enlighten me to any I may have missed, also discuss; with the imminent refurbishment of Abbeydale picture house, are old school cinemas back? is this the end of the road for the multiplex?

Batman begins is a belting film, certainly the best of its kind...

Batman Begins
Mind you, creation of a superhero is usually the best part of the genre: Spiderman and Unbreakable (but forget about the Fantastic four and Hulk!)
Serenity
(so good I bought Firefly DVD box set straight away!)

Hmmmm... Mulholland Drive or possible Napoleon Dynamite purely because it reminds me of a kid I went to school with...

Most overrated and disappointing films; Kill Bill part 1 & 2.

Without wishing to start a comic-book argument, As establishing villians goes, Cillian Murphy is a good Scarecrow and Sam Rockwell to be the new Joker although don't rule out Micheal Keaton (working title: Batman Comes Full-Circle!!!)
