As the 21st century was getting underway, Hollywood released a series of films that were daring,

entertaining, and absolutely unmissable.

Films like 25th Hour, Bring It On, Zodiac, and No Country for Old Men.

They arrived during the George W. Bush era, a chaotic time in America.

Think 9-11, Katrina, the mortgage crisis. After the Bush

Big Picture Feet.
