I actually like 2002 the most...

~Gangs of New York
~Far From Heaven
~The Hours
~Spirited Away
~Punch Drunk Love
~Femme Fatale
~Adaptation
~About Schmidt
~Moonlight Mile
~Chicago

...are among this year's best IMO.

[Strider]

Tough choice. While 2002 delivered several great films, I believe 2001 was a slightly better year and is the second-best year since the 1999 movie season. Anyway, here is my top ten list of 2001.....

01. "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"
02. "Memento"
03. "Artificial Intelligence"
04. "Ghost World"
05. "The Man Who Wasn't There"
06. "In the Bedroom"
07. "Session 9"
08. "The Royal Tenenbaums"
09. "Ocean's 11"
10. "Black Hawk Down"

2000 wasn't that great for film, 2001 was excellent, and 2003 has been so-so, with some great films, but not brilliant.

2002 was a superb year for film, the best since 1999.

[zeppelin]

Well, I thought 2000 was quite a bad year for movies, as the only movie it produced that I really liked was Requiem for a Dream. 2001 was a bit better, with Memento, Mulholland Dr., Amelie, and The Royal Tenenbaums, but still not a great year in my opinion. And I think 2003 just flat-out sucks so far, but then again most good movies come out in the last 3 months of the year.

So my pick for the best year so far this millennium is 2002. The Pianist, Adaptation, Minority Report, Bowling for Columbine, Spirited Away, Punch-Drunk Love, The Quiet American, Chicago, Far From Heaven, Gangs of New York, and About Schmidt are all terrific movies, in my opinion.

[Scooter]

2001

Lord Of The Rings : The Fellowship of The Ring
Black Hawk Down
A Beautiful Mind
American Pie 2
The Others
Oceans Eleven
Hannibal
Shrek

[ColinM]

2001 for me. Moulin Rouge is the best movie of the decade so far, and it gave us other great films like Memento, LOTR: FOTR, A Beautiful Mind, Amelie, Mullholland Dr., Shrek, The Others, Monsters, Inc., Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Ghost World, The Man Who Wasn't There, Bridget Jones's Diary and more...

[Sigur509]

4.Memento(10/10)
5.Monsters, Inc(9/10)
6..Vanilla Sky(9/10)
7.The Others(8/10)
8.Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone(8/10)
9.Snatch(8/10)
10.Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back(8/10)

[QUENTIN]

2000 by far. I know it's an unpopular choice, but I think it's the second best year of the past 10 (1997 being first). While 2001 produced no 10/10's, 2002 produced only one (GONY), and 2003 so far hasn't produced one, 2000 produced five, it is by far the best year IMO.

2.) Almost Famous -10/10
3.) George Washington -10/10
4.) Wonder Boys -10/10
5.) Traffic -10/10
6.) Requiem For A Dream -9/10
7.) The Big Kahuna -9/10
8.) Wo Hu Cang Long (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) -9/10

1.) Vanilla Sky -9/10

6.) The Royal Tenenbaums -9/10
7.) Der Krieger und Die Kaiserin (The Princess and The Warrior) -9/10
8.) A Beautiful Mind -8/10
9.) Black Hawk Down -8/10
10.) Love's A Bitch (Amores Perros) -8/10


Best of 2002

1.) Gangs of New York -10/10
2.) Bowling for Columbine -9/10

3.) Identity -8/10
4.) 28 Days Later -8/10
5.) Bend It Like Beckham -8/10

7.) Traffic -10/10
8.) Bowling For Columbine -9/10
9.) Igby Goes Down -9/10
10.) In The Bedroom -9/10


I'd go completely against the grain and rank the years as

1.) 2000
2.) 2002
3.) 2001
and 2003 would be last, but it's not really fair to judge it yet, most great movies come out in the last 3 months of a year.
