Pan's Labyrinth is so far from being my favorite film of the 00's that it's not even faintly visible in the distance. Last time I watched it, I was feeling very disappointed. I really thought I would like it a bit more than that. |

Great premise but fell apart in the third act. Still displayed all of the signs of where he'd end up. del Torro is easily one of my top 10.

I'm not so great at remembering what year a movie is from, but here's what I can find without too much effort:
No Country for Old Men Kingdom of Heaven (director's cut) American Psycho Babel Paprika Eastern Promises Mary and Max The Pianist Secretary Black Book Broken Flowers Melinda and Melinda Lost in Translation Jarhead The Wrestler Zodiac Volver Towelhead Ruang rak noi nid mahasan (Last Life in the Universe) A Single Man |

Nice list by the way. Broken Flower, Lost in Translation, and The Wrestler would be on my shortlist for that decade as well. Mary & Max was great too. |

But yeah, I probably do lean in that direction to a high degree. Oh and if there's one movie on the above list that I feel convinced, that a lot of people would like, if only they gave it a shot: Ruang rak noi nid mahasan (Last Life in the Universe) I watched it on a whim a couple years ago and it completely took me by surprise how good it was. |

And I wish he did end up actually making them, as he was supposed to at one point... I ****ing hate Peter Jackson's versions.
I think they're bad enough that a complete re-do is justified, even this early. |
