howlingfrog's Journal: My top 100 movies of the 00's

This list is purely subjective: it's about how much enjoyment I personally got out of each of these. It should not be construed as an argument that Zombieland is a better film in any objective sense than Capote or Waltz With Bashir or Frost/Nixon. It's not. I just had more fun watching it.
