154 7 7.2 2001 - Nominated Oscar - Best Actor in a Leading Role
Javier Bardem AFIoscar's rating:
205 7.1 7.4 With BEST IN SHOW, director Christopher Guest and the ensemble cast elevate the mock-documentary form to new artistic heights. The film raises comedy to the level of insight and weaves a seamless narrative fabric from actors' improvisation around a central theme. Fred Willard's performance is worthy of special recognition.
AFIoscar's rating:
993 6.5 7.2 This finely-crafted studio picture goes beyond the familiar with humor, texture and a fine attention to detail-an increasingly rare experience. ERIN BROCKOVICH, with its luminescent performance by Julia Roberts, accomplishes what all Hollywood films should aspire to: to excel both as art and as entertainment.
AFIoscar's rating:
 
2121 7.6 8.3 GLADIATOR updates the traditional American genre-the epic costume film-through cutting-edge technology. Its hero, a noble and unselfish man, is a type movies have celebrated for generations, but the modern methods used to create the world he lives in give viewers a new kind of spectacle for the new millennium.
AFIoscar's rating:
864 7.4 7.6 HIGH FIDELITY is an offbeat odyssey about a 30-something record store owner who knows everything about pop music but nothing about life. A terrific ensemble cast includes music as a central character. The film effortlessly breaks the fourth wall and, rather then shoe-horning its quirky characters into a tidy resolution, chooses a real world ending.
AFIoscar's rating:
1285 8 8.5 2001 - Nominated Oscar - Best Actress in a Leading Role
Ellen Burstyn AFIoscar's rating:
 
657 6.9 7.8 Steven Soderbergh balances a complex narrative structure that includes three separate stories and multiple outstanding performances. TRAFFIC moves with clarity, grace and intelligence through a broad strata of American and Mexican society in this uncompromising tale about the never-ending fight to win a war against drugs.
AFIoscar's rating:
246 6.8 7.5 This sophisticated, beautifully-written comedy of manners is a melancholy and funny coming-of-middle-age story. In WONDER BOYS, Curtis Hanson displays a sure comic-satiric touch and draws remarkable performances from his ensemble, particularly Michael Douglas as a literary one-hit-wonder and Tobey Maguire as his precocious student.
AFIoscar's rating:
89 7.2 7.7 In YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, writer/director Kenneth Lonergan surprises time and again with his affecting story of a complicated, funny and emotional sister/brother relationship. Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo create heart-breakingly real characters in this underexplored thematic territory.
