Urmatorul articol face referinta la filme din perioada 2000-2009 (considerata in cinematografie perioada anilor 2000), perioada care nu coincide cu deceniul calendaristic. Daca anii 90 au insemnat pentru cinematografie poate apogeul, varful de forma, anii 2000 au reprezentat in mare o dezamagire, o crestere exponentiala a banilor invatiti in jurul filmelor, insa o scadere drastica a calitatii acestora. De altfel, putine filme s-au evidentiat dupa anii 2003-2004, iar o data cu intrarea in anii 2010 putem doar sa speram ca ceva se va schimba in curand…
