Best of 2000...and beyond!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2001)

Billy Elliot has the single most powerful and inspiring confrontation scene ever captured on film. And what's more remarkable about it is that the entire scene--rolled out through a frenetic dance--is conducted without uttering a single word. Hollywood could learn a lot about "less is more" by watching this film. Moreover, the multi-talented Jamie Bell is absolutely amazing in the title role. If you have not seen Billy Elliot yet, then hopefully this will push you to see it.
