Reasonable list but some pretty big oversights ... Nightcrawler really should have been in there...

... would also have liked to have seen Interstellar, Sicario, It Follows, The Guest, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Edge of Tomorrow, The Lego Movie, Stoker, Rush, The Raid, and We Need To Talk About Kevin.

Thanks for sharing!

My 3 favorites so far this century are their #1, #2, and #8 picks, so of course I'm going to be excited. But outside my personal bias, this does seem a rather high-quality list that would inspire me to checkout the 25-30% I haven't seen yet.

1. (1) Mulholland Drive (David Lynch, 2001)
2. (2) In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-wai, 2000)
3. (8) Yi Yi: A One and a Two (Edward Yang, 2000)

My very short and spontaneous should-be-included list:

1. Russian Ark (Aleksandr Sokurov, 2002)
2. Dancer in the Dark (Lars von Trier, 2000)
3. Y Tu Mamá También (Alfonso Cuarón, 2001)
4. Black Swan (Darren Aronofsky, 2010)
5. Gravity (Alfonso Cuarón, 2013)
6. Ex Machina (Alex Garland, 2015)
7. O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2000)
8. Moon (Duncan Jones, 2009)

And in the first fifteen years of eligibility there have been thousands of movies shot worldwide (50,000?), so we're all just learning.

I'm a Tarantino fan, so I think Inglourious Basterds should be in the top ten, but I also agree with # 1.

I'd have included Kill Bill Vol.1 & 2 (if we're treating it as one film) over IB myself ... personal taste I guess.

I think I'd have put No Country For Old Men in the top 3 at least. The Raid would be in my top ten too along with Up and Toy Story 3.

I've seen around 3/4 of these films. Very nice list with many of my favorites.

A recent one not on the list which comes to mind is The Tribe.

Yeah, I suppose it is. But Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa is just one of the greatest performances on film ever.

I don't see "Bad Moms", "Fast and Furious 7" or "Expendables 2" on that list. Therefore, I call shenanigans.

Good list, but Into The Wild (2007), Milk (2008) and Adaptation (2002) should be there as well.

He was amazing in it ... and he's been playing the same role ever since! biggrin

I liked Fassbender's character in it as well, shame he wasn't in it that long. The scene where he deals with the drunk soldiers in the cellar bar was superb.

Good call on Into The Wild (2007) ... heartbreaking film. Have you seen Wild with Reese Witherspoon? Very similar and enjoyed that one even more.

Wild was good, but not great. I was a little disappointed really when I finally saw it after hearing all the award buzz it was getting.

I love the idea that this movie can be shown and understood in any country as is. No spoken dialogue or subtitles whatsoever.

I have only seen 6 of them.

Also 2000 should not count, it was the last year of the 20th century and should be included in the 1900s list. Pls most films released in 2000, were filmed and made in 1998 or 1999.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

I've actually seen most of them but there are others I've never even heard of. And of the ones I've seen, there are several that I feel shouldn't be anywhere near the list. There are also some strange omissions too. Maybe it's there and I just can't see it but where the hell is Up? And Toy Story 3? Pixar's best movies are left out but Ratatouille is in? The Raid and it's sequel should be here too but they're not.

Just as well Ratatooing and Up Balloon to the Rescue are not in there, or any other mock busters like Snakes on a Train!

I didn't think people like Children of Men, I did, I just got the impression it didn't register with most people.



A lot I haven't seen, I guess I need to catch up, but a lot I have seen, which surprises me.


A couple that I have seen, I'm not so crazy about, but I guess if I think about it at least one of the 2 gets a strong reaction out of me so I guess that means it impacted me and I'll never forget it.


OMG, The Russian Ark, I loved that, just loved it.

Two movies I absolutely did not like but people tend to love generally are "No Country For Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood". I can respect the artistry of them but to me it is unnecessary to subject yourself to them. I do not recommend.

No Country For Old Men is one of my favourite movies. Loved the book too. Brilliant villain. There Will be Blood was ok, i thought, nothing special.

To me both put you in the foulest of moods for no apparent reason.

A funny story; When it was announced on my local news station that "No Country.." won the Oscar for Best Picture, a man in the background could be heard audibly yelling, "Get the f!ck out of here!".
