Empire's 50 Must See Movies of 2002

Add to my lists | Print this list

It’s been a damn fine year for movies. Spielberg and Cruise got it together at last, Yoda made mincemeat of Count Dooku and Bond outshone a certain Mr Diesel just like we knew he would. But with such a smorgasbord of celluloid treasures laid out before you, did you rise to the cinematic challenge and bear proud witness to the vital movie events of the year? Or did you skulk in the shadows a Gollum-like husk of a creature only venturing forth for such ill-chosen turkeys as Killing Me Softly or, God forbid, Pluto Nash? Yep, steel yourselves because it’s time to test your cinema-going mettle and discover if you caught the 50 must-see movies of 2002.
