greatest movie ever... how about Vertigo?

Of the movies made 2000 or later that I truly enjoyed, three come to mind. Chocolat, Goya's ghosts and on the silly side Dudley-do-right (well, I checked and Dudley was made in 1999 :D ).

I have said this before on other threads, but at or near the top of my list of great movies would be Jules Dassin's "He Who Must Die". Here's the NY Times review when it was released. (Access may require registration.)

I saw it shortly after its release. In my humble opinion, this is one of those few movies that are better than the book (Kazantzakis btw, the author of Zorba the Greek among others).

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next was a great book, better movie. Surprisingly, so was Deliverance.

Yes, Jules Dassin. His Rififi, one of the great crime films.
