Yes, I have bravely picked my favorites of this year. If you click on the title - you will be taken to the page my regular review/recommendation is on. (Note: some movies were up for Oscars this spring, but I didn't see them until 2000, so have included them on my list.)
 CHOCOLAT: Is a sweet, touching magical fable that employs the sensual pleasure of chocolate to open the eyes of the repressed residents of a little village in France. A totally satisfying movie experience. |

| ALMOST FAMOUS: I found myself smiling throughout the whole movie. It is fresh and fun and wise, all at the same time. | DINOSAUR: I found myself in awe of the movie and the amazing computer effects - really an achievement from Disney. | THE PATROIT: Is a exiting view of the Revolutionary War with an emotional performance by Mel Gibson. The computer special effects are not only seamless, but very effective. |
| BILLY ELLIOT : Is a movie you can't help but love. Jamie Bell is terrific as the young man who finds an outlet in dance. | ERIN BROCKOVICH: Julia Roberts has taken on her most brassy character yet, based on the true story of a young divorced mother, who helped instigate the largest payoff on a lawsuit against a utility company. | REMEMBER THE TITANS: Is a well-done, true story of a Virginia high school team forced to integrate in 1971. It is honest without being raw and inspiring without being preachy. |
| BOYS DON'T CRY: Is a tough disturbing movie that earned Hilary Swank a well-derved Oscar for her performance. | THE GREEN MILE: is Stephen King's magical mystery tour that takes place on death row in 1935. Terrific performances lift this story up from its too neat storyline. | RETURN TO ME: There is so much heart and sincere warmth in this sweet love story that you can't resist it. |
| CAST AWAY: Tom Hanks gives a bravura performance that anchors the movie about a modern man who is survives a plane crash to live alone on an island for four years. A truly great performance by Tom. | HURRICANE: Denzel Washington gives a virtuoso performance in the lead role of Rubin Carter, the boxer who was falsely accused of murder. | VERTICAL LIMIT: is definitely an "E-Ride" that puts you on the edge of your seat from the beginning and has several scenes that leave you breathless with sweaty palms. |
| THE CIDER HOUSE RULES: is a movie that examines the commonly accepted rules of life and the reasons it may be correct to break them. Michael Caine earned his Oscar. | X-MEN: Is a well-done, exciting, and thought-provoking science fiction movie. The acting and special effects were all well done. | |
