... Jupiter's moons are shown to be in perfect conjunction with each other is almost incomprihensible, as are the appearances of million-year-old structures on the far side of the moon. This terror is amplified by the chilling chorus of voices and sounds which accompanies the appearance of each monolith perfectly. "2001" is a film which can be watched any number of times as long as it is used sparingly. I have only watched it twice since acquiring it several months ago, something usually unheard of for me, but I st...morePrice Comparison for 2001

Let's face it, 2001 hasn't been the greatest year for Hollywood movies. Fortunately though, there were enough of the independent, smaller budget films to make up for that. I had to go all the way back to January to find a few of the choices for my top ten, but this may have been down to me missing a lot of the well-praised movies of the year ('Amelie' and 'Ghost World' for starters). As has been noted elsewhere, it's quite difficult to compile a list of the best films of the year when you haven't actually seen every film released! However, as well as missing some good movies, I was also subjected to the Hollywood ... Read the complete review

As ever with these top ten film lists, they're made more difficult to compile if you haven't actually seen every film released, and hence you inevitably end up with a list which is biased according to your individual tastes and preferences. For example, there are some films, released in 2001, which really didn't appeal to me on the basis of their plots. Had I seen them, I might have found them to be the best thing ever, even better than jam, but I didn't. My criterion for whether or not films are eligible for this category is their UK theatrical release date. If a film received its first theatrical screening in this country during the year 2001, ...

My top list for 2001 goes a little summat like this(at least, I think these were all released in 2001)...bearing in mind I tend to make a point of missing anything tagged with "ought to win Oscars" until all the hype has buggered off and I haven't seen some of the supposed best movies of 2001. This is more a list of movies I thoroughly enjoyed in 2001 rather than a definitive best of... 1) The Lord Of The Rings: The Followship Of The Ring Peter Jackson's realisation of the book they said it would be impossible to film. Boy were they wrong! I absolutely adored Tolkien's LOTR trilogy(yes I know pedantically it's not a trilogy) ... Read the complete review

2001 wasn't a great year for cinema and there were certainly a lot of movies that are reguarded as really really bad (Jeepers Creepers, not even the best horror film in the last ten minutes let alone the last ten years, Pearl Habour, big budgets don't make a good film and The Mummy Returns, I could create better effects for the Scorpion king) however there were some outstandingly good films hidden amoungst the forgettable and often regretable there are some really cool films that make that year a bit better. All the films in my list were given a UK cinema release in 2001 Number 10-A.I Artificial Intelligence Haley Joel Osmand stars in a future ... Read the complete review
