TOP 5 GREATEST MOVIES OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Overview: Less than 10 years into the new century, the American box office is bigger than ever, yet it seems to many of us like movies suck more than ever. The truth is, though, that if you really look at all movies made since 2000, there have been some excellent films.

Criteria: Any major motion pictures released at the American Box Office beginning January 2000 to current date. For you jerk-wads that want to argue that the century didn’t actually begin until 2001, up yours, that’s a myth. Look it up: http://www.geek-central.gen.nz/peeves/21st_century_start.html

Rob's Notes: The movie “Gladiator,” actually inspired this idea when I watched it recently on HBO and realized it had just been released in the year 2000. I started thinking of some of the greatest movies of my lifetime and realized that a lot of them, despite all of the crap I’ve seen lately, have come in the past 8 years. A great movie, by the way is simply defined; you can watch it over and over again and enjoy it every single time. Great movies stand the test of time and extensive viewing. All of my movies pass that test.

Arnie's Notes: Look here Live Free or Die Hard is the GREATEST action movie of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!  He takes on a plane and then shoots himself in the arm to kill the bad guy!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!  Old School has to be on the list because it has given us so many lines to use in everyday life including the inspiration for a segment on our show that I do.
