Top 15 Films of the Last 15 Years- By Michael J. Carlisle

Welcome to the first 15 years of the 21st Century! So far there have been hundreds of films made over the last decade and a half that can be considered "good" (Darren Aranofsky's Black Swan, Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox) , while only a few dozen can be thought of as masterpieces. This particular list will be quite ambitious; listing 15 films of what The Good, The Bad, and the Critic subjectively feels are the greatest of this era so far. This first ten on this list are subject to a limit of one director per film.

Individual reviews can be found in either The Good, The Bad and The Critic's newest e-book (which you can purchase for $5) or in the archives on this site
