Haven't seen enough to do a full Top 10 list.

Haven't done this for a long while now, but I do have seen lots of films from the year of 2001. In fact about 144 titles seen as of today (since my IMDb account was created back in summer of 2011). That means it is the third most watched year, after 2006 (152) and 2002 (145) titles seen.

Anyway, here are my Top 10 Favorite Movies Of 2001:

01. Elling - 10/10
02. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - 9,5/10
03. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - 9/10
04. Monsters, Inc. - 8,5/10
05. The Pledge - 8/10
06. Training Day - 8/10
07. Hannibal - 7/10
08. Atlantis: The Lost Empire - 7/10
09. American Pie 2 - 7/10
10. Wet Hot American Summer - 6,5/10

Considering the amount of movies seen that year, I am not very impressed as few have come close of scoring above 6/10.

4.A Beautiful Mind
5.Bully
