2000 Films Reviewed

Won't bother with an introductory spiel (wow, this is the fifth year I'm doing this!). Veterans of the cinematic Good Fight are unlikely to mind. Wet-behind-the-ears rookie types may want to take a detour to the 1996 Films page, though.

You can see them ranked by rating as well, you know. I mean, we have the technology...

(V) = film seen only on video

(TIFF) = film seen (or first seen) at the 1999, 2000, 2001 or 2002 Thessaloniki Film Festival
