Memento was far and away the most interesting film I saw in 2000. It's a shame it was largely overlooked, but good that at least a film like this did get made and released. One of the few films I plan to buy a copy of.
Something like Gladiator was entertaining in a mind off sort of way, but it is beyond me why Hollywood thinks a portrayal of real history would be less profitable. The histories of Greece and Rome (as far as we can know them) contain much more fascinating stories than most from California.
