Nostalgia has its own specific pull, these films either take you back or feel like they could have been part of your past. Romance done right, not just love stories, but films that understand what connection actually feels like. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. Films that rewrote the rules and influenced everything that came after them.
