It's Persepolis! This is a good one. It's not your standard CBM fare but it was based on a comic and by jove does it tick all the right boxes. We both agreed that it's good as well which is a real rarity for us as you'll have heard over many, many episodes. There's so many layers to it too and I highly recommend that you watch it and see what you'll take from it. There's the story of a woman oppressed, there's the questions it raises over religion vs state, there's the East v West elements -...

It's Ghost World! I boldly predicted that there would be a Five Star movie amongst these 2000 movies. Before we watched Ghost World, we hadn't found one yet.

It's Josie and the Pussycats! It's a cult movie apparently. Not even a typo. People genuinely think this is good in some way. That's churlish. It's not bad really. It's not particularly good but there's a lot of charm to this movie and I can imagine that those who were there at the time watching it, all the way back in 2001, had a real good time. Glory days really. We had no idea what was coming over the course of the next two decades. Arguably, 2001 was where we peaked therefore making...
