Always an interesting topic to discuss. Best of lists. Used to love lists, but then the internet (which dug into our id and found this out) made everything a list and my joy for lists diminished. This one, though, has the best 100 movies of the 21st century.
1. There will be Blood
2. 12 Years a Slave
3. Boyhood.
4. Under the Skin
5. In the Mood for Love
6. Hidden.
7. Synedoche
8. Moonlight.
9. Zama
10. Team America: World Police.
So, off the bat, I haven't heard of 4 of these. Of the 6 left I have only watched 4. Damn. Of these, I'll agree that Moonlight deserves to be in the top ten of the century. That movie was amazing. It gets worse. I've only seen 2 more in the 11-20 level and I have heard of 4 more. But, really, this movie list is not all that great.
My list?
Not in order, because some can't be compared (docs are separate from fictional films).
FILM: Nadia and the Uprising. Moonlight. Mad Max. Waltz with Bashir, Ida, Exit Through the Gift Shop. City of God. the Handmaiden. Get Out. Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse.
DOCS: I am not Your Negro. Human Flow.
Honorable Mention: Inglorious Basterds. Prophet. Shoplifters. Guardians of the Galaxy.
