It was the year 2001, when Time Magazine named Rudolph Giuliani the Man of the Year for his post 9/11 presence in New York City. Beyonce was still fronting Destiny’s Child and Janet Jackson’s All for You dominated the summer music charts. It was a very difficult year in sports as the Baltimore Ravens won the most uneventful Super Bowl in recent memory and the Los Angeles Lakers and Duke Blue Devils ruled the basketball landscape. Still, the year was not a complete loss as there were some really good movies that debuted in cinemas. Here’s a look at ten movies (not necessarily the ten best) from 2001 that you may want to go back and take a look at:

My favorite quote from Legally Blonde: "I was first in my class at Princeton, I have an I.Q. of a hundred and eighty-seven, and it's been suggested that Stephen Hawking stole his Brief History of Time...from my fourth grade paper." – Aaron Mitchell (played by Kelly Nyks)
ReplyDeleteIt's been suggested that Legally Blonde writer Amanda Brown based the character Aaron Mitchell on me.
ReplyDelete@Tony Shin - well, that may be so, but King Kong ain't got nuthin' on me!
