Author Comments: 

Clearly, I have a lot of 2002 movies to see again.

Title (Director) [rating]
[approximate rating]: Just a guess based on how strongly I feel about these films right now; some of these I haven't seen in 10+ years.

Rating system, adapted from the one used by SteveR:
100-97 = All-time favorite
96-90 = Fantastic; best of the year
89-80 = Remarkable
79-70 = Very Good
69-60 = Good
59-50 = Okay
49-40 = Mediocre
39-30 = Bad
29-20 = Horrible
19-10 = Torture
9-0 = Would end a war if dropped on opposing country
