Must-See Movies of the 21st Century

I have to balance taking care of three little kids with trying to earn a full-time income.  I only have time to watch a handful of movies a year, so I have to be picky.  I’ve decided to use the IMDB top 250 movies of all time to help me choose which movies I should watch.  Here’s the list of the top 80+ movies of the new millennium that I compiled from IMDB user ratings.  I find it a bit more exciting to watch new movies, so I would watch the newer ones first and work my way through the older ones.
