I love Frequency, and not just because I'm a New York Mets fan. It's a great mystery, and a fascinating time travel movie with a twist.

Unbreakable was #8 on my ballot. Overall, it's a solid, grounded superhero film that some people who don't care for the genre may enjoy.

#22. Sexy Beast - 21 pts. (included in 5 lists)

Director: Jonathan Glazer
Starring: Ray Winstone, Ben Kingsley, Ian McShane, Amanda Redman

I thought I'd seen a lot of 2000s movies, but I've only seen 8 of these so far.

I saw Sexy Beast back in 2000, and remember liking it. However, right now all I can remember is Ben Kingsley screaming "NO" a hundred times

Unbreakable has grown in appreciation for me. I was very on the fence on my first viewing, but have seen it a couple of times since and I dig it.

I saw Emperor's New Groove a couple of years ago for the first time. It's a lot of fun, but it has a special place in my heart cause it's the first film I saw with my kids.

It's been a while since I watched Unbreakable, but I remember liking it a lot when I saw it. I'm planning to rewatch it for the upcoming 2000s Countdown because if it's as good as I remember it being, I think it has a good chance to make my list.


I'm not a fan of David Spade, so I had low expectations for The Emperor's New Groove, but it turned out to be a very funny movie.

#21. (20.2.) バトル・ロワイアル [Battle Royale] - 25 pts. (included in 5 lists)

Director: Kinji Fukasaku
Starring: Tatsuya Fujiwara, Aki Maeda, Taro Yamamoto, Chiaki Kuriyama

#20. (20.1.) Quills - 25 pts. (included in 3 lists)

Director: Philip Kaufman
Starring: Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet, Joaquin Phoenix, Michael Caine

Battle Royale got 3 pts from me. It is #15 in my ballot.

Obviously Quills was my number 1. Disappointed it only made it to 20.

Believe I had "Quills" at 2 or 3.

#19. Chicken Run - 26 pts. (included in 6 lists)

Director: Nick Park
Starring: Phil Daniels, Lynn Ferguson, Mel Gibson, Tony Haygarth

Chicken Run was my number 4. A lot of fun.

#18. Billy Elliot - 30 pts. (included in 5 lists)

Director: Stephen Daldry
Starring: Jamie Bell, Julie Walters, Gary Lewis, Jamie Draven

Maybe between the three of us we can get it onto the 2000s countdown

Very touching movie. Gary Lewis as the father is superb.
One of my most loved films of the new century. I've seen it at least 5-6 times through the years. It is #3 in my ballot.
