1
Gladiator 2000,  R)
Gladiator
This movie has so many powerful moments - it sends you from tears to joy, and the Hans Zimmer soundtrack adds to the emotion. Although a fictional (and very good) story, this movie marked the return to the historical epic genre with a great attempt at recreating ancient Rome, albeit borrowing features from various different periods.
2
Snatch 2001,  R)
Snatch
Hilarious interwoven tales of British gangsters with an equally light-hearted score. Very much a Pulp Fiction set in London.
3
American Beauty 1999,  R)
American Beauty
Clever, witty life-story drama about a disillusioned worker/husband/father who hungers for some excitement in his life.
4
Being John Malkovich 1999,  R)
Being John Malkovich
Very clever and strange movie about a man who discovers a portal into John Malkovich! The first Charlie Kaufman also stars Cameron Diaz as you've never seen her before.
5
Memento 2000,  R)
Memento
Original thriller about someone, who has no short-term memory, seeking revenge for the death of their wife. Full of fascinating ideas of how someone can live with such a condition, which are easy to relate too. Plus the film adds to the intrigue by playing out from end to beginning, constantly rewinding each time he forgets. This isn't just a gimmick. It really helps the viewer to understand the protagonist.

Rancid Aluminium 2000,  R)
7
Final Destination 2000,  R)
8
Hollow Man 2000,  R)
9
Sleepy Hollow 1999,  R)
10
Bicentennial Man 1999,  PG)
Bicentennial Man
Isaac Asimov inspired story of a domestic robot becoming human. Surprisingly good, and the ending is simply excellent.
11
Road Trip 2000,  R)
12
Meet the Parents 2000,  PG-13)
Meet the Parents
Finally got around to watching this from start to finish after having caught it part way through on many occasions. A silly American comedy, where everything that can go wrong meeting parents does go wrong. Just what you'd expect from a Ben Stiller movie in one of his best performances.
13
Longitude 2000,  Unrated)
14
Chicken Run 2000,  G)
15
Unbreakable 2000,  PG-13)
16
Stigmata 1999,  R)
17
The 6th Day 2000,  PG-13)
The 6th Day
Fun spiritual successor to Total Recall with all the classic cliche Schwarzenegger moments we all love, but overall less inspired.
18
The End of the Affair 1999,  R)
19
Three Kings 1999,  R)
20
The Ninth Gate 1999,  R)
21
O Brother, Where Art Thou? 2000,  PG-13)
22
Galaxy Quest 1999,  PG)
Galaxy Quest
Entertaining Star Trek spoof that would make for a good Xmas flick, but can be a bit grating.
23
What Lies Beneath 2000,  PG-13)
24
The Virgin Suicides 1999,  R)
25
Me, Myself & Irene 2000,  R)
