How to run this round

Every film here came out between 2000 and 2009, which is the whole appeal: it is the decade most of a pub grew up watching. It works well as a picture round too — put a still from each film on the screen and ask for the title. Blockbusters are front-loaded, so the second half is where the film buffs earn their points.
