This is an incomplete, chronological list of films produced in the Khmer language in the 2000s.
The decade included blockbusters such as The Snake King's Child (2001), Tum Teav (2003), Neang Neath (2004), The Crocodile (2005), and The Snake King's Grandchild (2006). More than 400 Cambodian films were released in this period of time. Following the 2003 Phnom Penh riots, fueled by rumors that Thailand claimed Angkor Wat, Thai television series and movies were absent from Khmer channels until 2008. During that period nearly 60 Khmer movies were released each year.
