The years of 2000 to 2009 were my childhood and pre-teen years. During this decade, there were countless movies produced, and they are still some of my favorite movies to this day, such as "Mean Girls," "She’s the Man," or "A Cinderella Story." Others are reminders of childhood memories, like "High School Musical," "Cheaper By the Dozen," or "The Cheetah Girls." When I think back to the 2000s, I remember the incredible movies that the film industry created. So here are the 30 best movies of the 2000s:
