Films of the 2000s

Send us Fan MailThe films from 2000-20009 had many a peak and trough. There were some huge hits such as Avatar, Gladiator, The Departed, The Dark Knight and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but attempting to choke them like a mean old vine were Battlefield Earth, The Ladykillers and The Room. It was a decade that saw a new James Bond, the re-emergence of fantasy and comic book hero genre's and Pixar was at the peak of their powers.Lewis reveals which film watched in preparation he had put off for more than 20 years as well as both he and Matt picking their favourite directors, actors and actresses of the decade.
