...Film-making today, whether massively expensive or made with tiny budgets, shot on celluloid or video, is thriving artistically as much as it ever has. But today youll find greater diversity in the kinds of films being made, if not in the people who are making them. Thats why we, the editors of BBC Culture, decided to commission a poll of critics to determine the 100 greatest films of the 21st Century. Last year, we asked critics to name the greatest American films of all time, and we were surprised that only six films made since 2000 made the top 100. Is there a feeling that time sanctifies a classic? Perhaps. But this time, we wanted to prove that this century has given us films that will stand the test of time, that you will continue to think about and argue about if only you give them a chance and watch them...

“Only 6”? How arrogant. As if these 15 years deserve more than the last 10 decades.

The best year for Hollywood movies, 1939! All made before CGI. They actually required the actors to act.

I’m surprised this made up to number six. After watching the whole movie....then reaching the ending, I actually had to go back watch the movie a 2nd and 3rd time. Great story, but it’s one of the weirdest movies I’ve ever seen.
To: FatherofFive
Good move. Have walked out on four I think before I finally stopped going.
If there’s a cast of two, one will be bay, and the hero.
If it’s a cast of 3, one will be muslim, one will be gay and one will be christian, the first two being the good guys

Saw 9 of them on the list, the best of the bunch considering the acting content is “The Pianist”.
