Criss Angel Mindfreak

Black shag haircut, eyeliner, chain wallet — and a man apparently floating between Las Vegas rooftops. Mindfreak made Criss Angel the definitive 2000s magician: half goth rock star, half street illusionist, all catchphrase.

Movies 2001

Ocean's Eleven

Eleven thieves, three casinos, $160 million in one underground vault. Steven Soderbergh's 2001 remake of the Rat Pack classic put George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts in the coolest movie of the decade — a heist so smooth it made crime look like a hangout.

Movies 2009

The Hangover

Three groomsmen wake up in a trashed Caesars Palace suite with a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, a missing groom — and no memory of how. The 2009 comedy that ate the summer and made Zach Galifianakis a star.
