Best of 2001

reviewed Mon, 31 Dec 2001

I'm having a tough time coming up with a "top ten movies of the year" list.  I can come up with only six excellent movies, so I rounded out the list with four movies that were very good and very ambitious but didn't quite reach their full potential.

Memento -- without question, the absolute best movie of this year
Ghost World
Diamond Men
L.I.E.
Under the Sand
The Others

Special mentions for:
Donnie Darko
The Fellowship of the Ring
Moulin Rouge
A Beautiful Mind (the best conventional studio movie of the year)
Monkeybone -- okay, maybe it doesn't quite belong in this company, but seriously, give it a chance
