The 2000s

The archive's shortest decade by necessity: this window closes in September 2001. 9 films make the cut so far, the last handful of ordinary theatrical releases to catch the towers before that stopped being possible.

For the reverse-chronological version of this story (the actual last films, newest first), see The Final Films. What's here is the same as every other decade page: the towers as an unremarkable part of the skyline, caught by films that had nothing to do with what came next.
