“Legally Blonde” (2001)

A film that is so endlessly quoted and loved that Amazon makes a Prequel -TV series inspired by him, well over 20 years after its publication, is “Legal Blonde”, for which Reese Witherspoon will probably be known forever.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Community of the Ring” (2001)

Peter Jackson's “Lord of the Rings” and “Hobbit” trilogies both came to the main video in May. The trilogy “Lord of the Rings” is in general – and rightly – to be superior, but which of the three films is the best is entirely with you. There are strong cases that have to be taken for “The Two Towers” from 2002 and the best picture with “The Return of the King” 2003.

The first episode in Jackson's three-part “Lord of the Rings” paper is an almost perfect fantasy film that patiently relieves the viewers into the world of Middle Erd and the search for Frodo-Baggins (Elijah Wood), whose mild-man hobbit protagonist, which is asserted with a twilight level of responsibility. It is an epic of unrestricted magical and timeless cinematic power.

“You have mail” (1998)

“You have Mail”, Nora Ephrons irresistible reinterpretation of Ernst Lubitsch's “The Shop around the corner” is a romantic comedy of one of the most reliable and influential voices in the genre. The film takes place in Manhattan and follows a bookstore owner (Meg Ryan), who unintentionally falls in love with the owner (Tom Hanks) of the large bookstore chain, which threatens to get her out of business.

“You got mail” Mines the Chemistry and Combined Star Power of Ryan and Hanks in a brilliant effect and his history of non -matching lovers to tell with infectious humor, sensitive sensitivity and sterile romance. The film sees how Ephron acts to her most effortless and self -confident – both as an observer of human behavior and as a reluctant romantic. Is it better than Ephrons other Ryan-and-Hanks jam “Sleepless in Seattle”? It is too close to say. Just make your choice.
