Readers Poll 2001

BY None NonePublished Nov 17, 2016

1. Memento (Directed by Christopher Nolan)

It was saddening, yet it had a strange power. One of the best concepts ever, that was done perfectly. I walked away kinda empowered by it, probably cause the end was awesome. -Fenwick McKelvey, Halifax NS

This broke the rules and had you asking questions long after you saw it. -Rick Lamming, St. Thomas ON


2. Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Directed by Peter Jackson)

This is an extraordinarily entertaining film. The good vs. evil dichotomy is eternal, I found it interesting that the evil represents the Church, and the good are just people fighting for their own self-determination. -Mark Evard, North Bay ON

This film was the best possible version of The Fellowship of the Ring could have hoped for. If they had included Tom Bombadil, he would have been played by John Goodman, so count your blessings. -Mark Capel, Waterloo ON


3. Ghost World (Directed by Terry Zwigoff)
My autobiography, minus the creepy old man sex. -Jonelle Aspa, Edmonton AB

Perfectly conveys the wit of the Clowes' comic. -Joel Finnis, Guelph ON

The funniest yet meanest film I've ever seen. This movie was great. The actors were hilarious. Buscemi and Birch where incredible. A real gem! -Daphney Dubuisson, Gatineau QC


4. Amélie (Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet)

It was just so charming and cute. I fell in love with it. Sure, it was idealistic, but what the hell? -Megan Whyte, Edmonton AB

This isn't just the year's best film, it's the best film ever! -Kirsty Robertson, Montreal QC

That film is magic. After seeing Amélie you just feel happy and that's great. -Kethlene Forestal, Montreal QC


5. Shrek (Directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson)

Animated film's time has come to shine as this film clearly proves. -Matt Cowley, Redwater AB

There's so much to this film, I could watch it over and over. -Michele Marques, Richmond Hill ON

Very funny and a little twisted. -Derek Clark, Calgary AB
