1. Gladiator (2000)
Immediately one of my favorite films of all time. Epic, tough, beautiful, violent, and glorious. Superb acting, writing and cinematography.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 559  Average listal rating (373 ratings) 5.7  IMDB Rating 6.4 
2. Road Trip (2000)
A perfect cast of somewhat-known actors in this hilarious race against time.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 420  Average listal rating (257 ratings) 7.2  IMDB Rating 7.5 
3. Remember the Titans (2000)
Washington is great, as is his supporting cast (for what type of movie this is) in a good-hearted look at racism in schools and sports.
Stehako's rating:

4. Almost Famous (2000)
Cameron Crowe has created a fantastic film for people of any generation, as long as they love music and brilliant writing.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1139  Average listal rating (747 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating 6.3 
5. Me, Myself & Irene (2000)
A wild comedy from my favorite comedy directors/writers (Farrelly Brothers) and my favorite comedic actor (Jim Carrey). It's the second time they've collaborated (First was 'Dumb and Dumber') and while it's not as funny as their first attempt it is still comic gold. Best fight scene ever.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1788  Average listal rating (1255 ratings) 6.7  IMDB Rating
6. Meet the Parents (2000)
This is how I picture Ben Stiller to be in real life... and DeNiro, if he were a father - is he? Owen Wilson gives us the funniest scenes with his small but genuine part.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 811  Average listal rating (548 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 6.8 
7. The Patriot (2000)
A movie that managed to get me more and more pissed off as I watched it. I've now seen it twice and I still hold those same feelings. But in the end I leave satisfied from seeing a really well put-together film. Ledger's best role yet.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1574  Average listal rating (1122 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating 7.4 
8. Cast Away (2000)
It's a good thing everyone loves Tom Hanks because this film is filled him and mainly just him. I thought he did an outstanding the job; but the blatant and over-used product placements of FedEx and Wilson made me a little nauseous.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1043  Average listal rating (687 ratings) 5.6  IMDB Rating 5.6 
9. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Carrey portrayed The Grinch gloriously. Ron Howard's film has all the nice things you like to see in a Christmas film and much more. It's a film I could see watching on a nearly annual basis.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 742  Average listal rating (484 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating 6.2 
10. The Beach (2000)
Boyle's new film could be his best, but with lots of help from DiCaprio. He does a great job with narration and he got really into his character. I love the mix of fantastical scenes and brutally real scenes.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1451  Average listal rating (975 ratings) 5.6  IMDB Rating 5.9 
11. Scary Movie (2000)
The funniest spoof movie since Austin Powers (okay, it's not saying much). There were plenty of overly-stupid scenes but a lot of funny lines from everyone in the cast, especially Cheri Oteri.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 664  Average listal rating (424 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating 7.8 
12. Traffic (2000)
Powerful film making. It's so good that you can't help but deny this stuff really goes on because at least one story line in this hits too close to home for anybody.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 597  Average listal rating (389 ratings) 6.4  IMDB Rating 6.6 
13. The Whole Nine Yards (2000)
Matt Perry is the funniest character on 'Friends' and proves in this film he can be funny in other venues. He does some great phsycial comedy, too. Willis is delightful and Amanda Peet is hot.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 477  Average listal rating (310 ratings) 7.6  IMDB Rating 7.9 
14. The Boondock Saints (1999)
A very weird but intoxicating movie about some Irish vigilantes in Boston. Willem Defoe's best role in a long time.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1299  Average listal rating (833 ratings) 8  IMDB Rating 8.5 
15. Requiem for a Dream (2000)
A mind bender. Visually intriguing and uniquely paced. I would have preferred a better ending, however.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1154  Average listal rating (788 ratings) 7.8  IMDB Rating 8.2 
16. Snatch (2000)
What the hell did, well anyone, say? Pitt is continuing to get some great roles and Guy Ritchie's style has sure grown on me.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 868  Average listal rating (574 ratings) 7.4  IMDB Rating 7.6 
17. High Fidelity (2000)
The movie that could bring mixed tapes back! Probably not, but Cusack and Black are great in this small music film.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 989  Average listal rating (619 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.4 
18. American Psycho (2000)
A messed up movie that left me wanting more. I couldn't believe what I was watching, pretty much in every scene. I'm not educated on the many shades of white and some great albums that I really should pick up.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 2537  Average listal rating (1759 ratings) 7  IMDB Rating 7.4 
19. X-Men (2000)
Not a bad comic book movie at all. I hear they are coming out with a second one and I am looking forward to it quite a bit already.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 151  Average listal rating (88 ratings) 5.7  IMDB Rating 6.2 
20. Rules of Engagement (2000)
Second best fight scene of the year. Two old guys going at it and lots of misinterpretations. Nothing too outstanding but an entertaining film.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 997  Average listal rating (658 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 7.2 
21. Erin Brockovich (2000)
It's true, this is Julia Roberts' best role; but I've never really been too impressed with her.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 260  Average listal rating (167 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 7.3 
22. Frequency (2000)
I love these types of "butterfly effect" films, and this one is modest in most ways and does a really good job of creating characters you can care about, overshadowing the "high concept", which is something most movies fail to do.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 916  Average listal rating (613 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 6.7 
23. Final Destination (2000)
Actually, this one is pretty similar to 'Frequency' but is more of a teen flick and we're killing a lot more people here.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 76  Average listal rating (43 ratings) 5  IMDB Rating 4.7 
24. The Ladies Man (2000)
Oooh, it's a lady. Meadows is very funny in this SNL sketch film.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 581  Average listal rating (391 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating 6.6 
25. Shanghai Noon (2000)
Whenever either Wilson or Chan team up with someone we get good results and this is one of their better results. Nothing too original but just a lot of entertaining scenes filled with comedy and action.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1254  Average listal rating (858 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating 6.3 
26. What Women Want (2000)
I tried the experiment and I still don't know. I guess it doesn't work every time. This is a fun "what if" movie but drags just slightly towards the end, once all the fun is gone.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 437  Average listal rating (275 ratings) 5.8  IMDB Rating 6.6 
27. Keeping the Faith (2000)
A great trio of actors. I wish my church services were that entertaining.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 205  Average listal rating (136 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.4 
28. Best in Show (2000)
Guest comes out with another winner in his signature mockumentary style films.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 158  Average listal rating (95 ratings) 5.7  IMDB Rating 6.4 
29. The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000)
Will Smith's least-attended, but still entertaining film. I thought it could have been "bigger", many scenes felt rushed.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1188  Average listal rating (820 ratings) 7.4  IMDB Rating
30. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
I don't know why this specific kung-fu style film has so much American appeal; but like the ones in the past, I enjoyed it. Some wild fight scenes and great cinematography... maybe it's the title?
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 154  Average listal rating (65 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.2 
31. Before Night Falls (2000)
Bardem is excellent in this foreign film that probably will continue to go unnoticed by the American public.

People who added this item 302  Average listal rating (204 ratings) 5.1  IMDB Rating 5.1 
32. Mission to Mars (2000)
I get confused between this and 'Red Planet'; but I'm pretty sure this is the better one.

People who added this item 599  Average listal rating (412 ratings) 5.4  IMDB Rating 5.9 
33. Bedazzled (2000)
Elizabeth Hurley is the perfect woman; so I guess that makes sense why she would be the devil. Frasier is dopey and slightly entertaining as usual. My favorite part is all the hot outfits Hurley wears.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 294  Average listal rating (179 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.3 
34. Quills (2000)
The one thing Bedazzled didn't have was nudity... but this nudity isn't the good kind. I think Winslet has a 'must be nude' clause in her contracts.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 112  Average listal rating (73 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 6.9 
35. Boiler Room (2000)
A cool film that sports a unique side to illegal trading. The cast is filled up with all young and rising stars that I'm sure will be household names in the next couple of years.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 245  Average listal rating (139 ratings) 5.7  IMDB Rating 6.2 
36. Dinosaur (2000)
Technically brilliant and remarkable... that's about it.

People who added this item 247  Average listal rating (149 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating 7.5 
37. Wonder Boys (2000)
Douglas had a good year with his two movies (the other 'Traffic') but this is definitely his better role.

People who added this item 136  Average listal rating (96 ratings) 6.1  IMDB Rating 6.5 
38. Small Time Crooks (2000)
What do you normally get out of a Woody Allen film?

People who added this item 18  Average listal rating (9 ratings) 6.7  IMDB Rating 6.5 
39. The Tao of Steve (2000)
Lessons are learned and lives are saved.

People who added this item 48  Average listal rating (30 ratings) 6.4  IMDB Rating 5.9 
40. Cecil B. DeMented (2000)
This makes you really question the crap that's released in theaters every year. Crazy ending.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 163  Average listal rating (116 ratings) 3.8  IMDB Rating
41. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000)
I thought it was actually pretty good and I liked the twist at the end. I don't know why so many hated it.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 203  Average listal rating (132 ratings) 5.8  IMDB Rating 6.4 
42. U-571 (2000)
Submarine movie, World War II, blah blah blah. Still pretty decent.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1068  Average listal rating (671 ratings) 7  IMDB Rating 7.3 
43. Chocolat (2000)
A fun romantic comedy with lovely acting and story. Of course it makes you crave chocolate even more.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 95  Average listal rating (61 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 7.1 
44. Tigerland (2000)
Visually entertaining, stylistic war film. I might need to see it again, I fell asleep the first time.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 120  Average listal rating (67 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 7.1 
45. Pollock (2000)
I was disappointed in this film. I would think a movie about Pollock would be crazy and all over the place, just like his art. Two formulaic, but still an interesting story.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 224  Average listal rating (123 ratings) 6.7  IMDB Rating 7.2 
46. Fantasia 2000 (1999)
Like with the first one, I think I'll need to watch this several times in several states of highness before I can truly enjoy. so far it's a disappointment.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 992  Average listal rating (664 ratings) 5.6  IMDB Rating 5.7 
47. Mission: Impossible II (2000)
Tom Cruise mugging through a trying solver. Another disappointing film.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 48  Average listal rating (26 ratings) 6.1  IMDB Rating 6.7 
48. Love & Basketball (2000)
Now this one was actually a little better than I expected. It's a good story of two young lovers growing up through high school, college and beyong, surrounded around basketball.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 475  Average listal rating (297 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating 6.5 
49. What Lies Beneath (2000)
Not as thrilling as we're to believe. Michelle Pfeiffer is still looking great though.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 442  Average listal rating (284 ratings) 5.8  IMDB Rating 6.2 
50. The Cell (2000)
See this movie for dream sequences, otherwise it's not very good. Vince Vaughn is the only thing tolerable outside of them. Lopez should stick to singing.

Description

Starting off the Decade very nicely. If the only film that came out this year was Gladiator, I would have liked it; but there were several great picks this year.
