Link to the full list of films I've seen from this year at least once - http://letterboxd.com/coheed/list/my-personal-2003-ranked/
Admittedly I see the need to rewatch a few of these films, but its a testament to some of them that a single viewing a long time ago was enough for them to remain burnt into my thoughts. Put aside that I will re-encounter these films, all of them, again some day, and its clear that the 2000s was an incredibly strong decade by itself, not through a lot of the films that were praised in end of decade lists, but those that were off the beaten path.

Honorable Mention:
Fear X (Dir. Nicolas Winding Refn, 2003)
After the initial disappointment of Only God Forgives (2013), it jars against the fact Refn made a film long before that perfectly captured the uneasy air he was going for.
