Rental Rewind: 2000

It was the year 2000, when computers worldwide were supposed to crash, but never did, and George W. Bush was Time Magazine’s Man of the Year.  Santana featuring Rob Thomas rocked the airwaves and JT was still the front man for N’SYNC.  It was a rough year in sports as the New York Yankees won the World Series, the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA Championship, and Tiger Woods was still winning majors.  But it wasn’t all bad in the sphere of pop culture as a number of fantastic movies made their way onto the big screen.  Here’s a look at ten movies (not necessarily the ten best) from the year 2000 that you may want to put on your rental queue.
