During the end of May 2001 Shrek came out... it was unreal as Dreamworks was sticking it to Disney
That Summer............................ we had Tomb Raider, Jurassic Park III, The Mummy Returns.........FINAL FANTASY (even tho it bombed) and F*cking Fast and The Furious
   
Don't even get me started with Fall 2001 guys... DON't get me F*cking started....

2001 was a good year for pop culture as a whole. Especially by the second half. The movies of 2001 had a different vibe to it than the years prior. My favorite movies of 2001 is Rush Hour 2, Harry Potter 1, Valentine, Scary Movie 2, Tomcats, Save the Last Dance, Spy Kids 1, Soul Survivors, Planet of the Apes, Legally Blonde, Monster’s Inc, The Princess Diaries, Fast and the Furious and Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within. Underrated year in Hollywood Cinema

Underrated year in Hollywood Cinema 2001- 2002 school year was my favorite school year 8th grade, I can recite every damn word of any movie that came out in 2001...!!!!!
But back to 2001, it really did have a DIFFERENT vibe then years prior, Scary Movie 2 had me LAUGHING SO LOUD when they did the NIKE basketball scene lmaooooooooooo People forget FFantasy cgi was UNREAL for the time, there was nothing out like it not even PIXAR could compete even tho it bombed.
AMERICAN PIE 2 came out that summer, my favorite teen comedy of aLL DAMN TIME !!!
WHO can forget when LORD OF THE DAMN RINGS DROPPED !!!!!!!!!! I will never forget what I was doing before I saw that movie, I was playing GTA 3 that Sunday afternoon and I go down to the cinema and my DOORs were blown away by the movie. It is just one of those things you will never forget. It looked VIVID AF !

I'm more a fan of 2000 movies myself. We had Memento, Gladiator, the original X-Men, My Dog Skip (it's frankly a travesty that this film is forgotten), Titan A.E. (it was a good movie, dammit!), and the Road to El Dorado! Man, what a giant of a year.

Dreamworks definitely overshadowed Disney in the 2000s when it came to animated movies. Disney ruled the '90s though. It's crazy that the Lord of the Rings trilogy is almost twenty years old. Those are definitely timeless movies, as are the Harry Potter movies. Movies like the Mummy on the other hand are kind of hard to watch in 2020.

I remember all the buzz around the Planet of The Apes re-make. I also remember Vanilla Sky because Tom Cruse and Penelope Cruz were dating and the Media thought it was interesting because their last names were similar I guess.
I remember Mariah Carey’s Glitter being made fun of a lot for being a movie that bombed.
And yes, all the hype about LOTR and Harry Potter.
I also remember when Shrek first came out on DVD around November or December that year, that caused many people (or maybe just my family) to get a DVD ROM drive for their computers.
Freddy Got Fingered came out in March or April of that year and I remember a few kids in my 5th grade class kept singing “daddy would you like some sausage.”
I also remember when Don’t Say A Word came out, Conan O Brien had a character based on Brittney Murphy’s “I’ll never telllllll” line in the tv trailer.

Even though I didn't like the early 2000s, they were a pretty solid time for pop culture (except for the music, I really hated the music lmao). The movies, the television, the animation, early internet culture and especially the video games were absolutely awesome though.
