In celebration of Three Movie Buffs third anniversary on June 2nd, we have compiled a list of our favorite movies of the new millennium. To ensure that this would be a team effort only movies reviewed by all three buffs were eligible for inclusion. This also explains why the list favors big budget Hollywood releases over smaller independent or foreign films, although a few of these did make the cut. It will be interesting to see which of these films advance to classic status in the coming years and which fade from public consciousness. Only time will tell. One thing is sure, as long as there are movies to watch Three Movie Buffs will be here to critique and rank them.
