Moulin Rouge 2001
From Amazon:
A dazzling and yet frequently maddening bid to bring the movie musical kicking and screaming into the 21st century, Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge bears no relation to the many previous films set in the famous Parisian nightclub. This may appear to be Paris in the 1890s, with can-can dancers, bohemian denizens like Toulouse-Lautrec (John Leguizamo), and ribaldry at every turn, but it's really Luhrmann's pop-cultural wonderland. Everyone and everything is encouraged to shatter boundaries of time and texture, colliding and careening in a fast-cutting frenzy that thinks nothing of casting Elton John's "Your Song" 80 years before its...

This has to be my favourite movie of 2001. It's just so darn fun. I love the music, the colors, the acting, everything! This movie is like some acid trip, but you don't want it to stop. And it seems to cover almost every emotion, which makes for a ride. I can't say enough about this movie. It's great!
