30 Most Important Movies Made Since 2000

Despite having Brad Pitt in the lead, The Assassination Of Jesse James made approximately no money at the box-office but was one of three great Westerns from 2007 along with There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men. Roger Deakins' cinematography is amongst his best work and Pitt has never been better.

The film plays out with an increasingly mournful tone and is the equivalent to listening to an outlaw country ballad.
