20 Best Movies of 2004

This movie totally freaks me out, in a "is the world going to end like this?" kind of way. The idea that one day the entire climate could just shift and half of the world could freeze to death is one of the scariest things I can think of. It is a fate no one has control over. And totally worth the 2 hours it takes to watch this movie.

This is the 3rd Harry Potter movie and really the first one where you realize that the characters are no longer kids, but young adults. They start dealing with feelings toward one another, and the idea of death and dealing with the past. This is where Harry Potter starts taking a turn toward the dark side.

One of the funniest movies ever made, and by far the funniest movie of 2004. This is Will Ferrell's greatest performance of all time and Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell, and Christina Applegate only add to the fun. I quote this movie almost daily.

This movie is seriously weird, makes almost no sense, and for all intents and purposes, should never have been popular. However, it is fantastic. It is funny and smart and gets better every time you watch it.

The first of the Saw franchise is almost the only one worth a watch. It is the first movie of its kind, it is truly original, terrifying, and absolutely shocking. For those who enjoy a good thriller and can handle some gore, this movie is already a classic.
