Out of that list, these were the only ones I thought that belonged in the top 100 of the 21st Century, certainly not in that order-but...movie quality has so dropped off that I suppose many of those in the list would be included.
02. Mulholland Drive (David Lynch)
03. There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson)
06. No Country For Old Men (Joel & Ethan Coen)
07. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Michel Gondry)
20. The Wolf of Wall Street (Martin Scorsese)
31. The Departed (Martin Scorsese)
41. Amalie (Jean-Pierre Jeunet)
44. Once Upon A Time in Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino)
45. Moneyball (Bennett Miller)
48. The Lives of Others (Florian Donnersmarck)
0. Up! (Pete Docter)
62. Memento (Christopher Nolan)
71. Ocean’s Eleven (Steven Soderbergh)
73. Ratatouille (Brad Bird)
87. The Fellowship of the Ring (Peter Jackson)
92. Gladiator (Ridley Scott)
94. Minority Report (Steven Spielberg)
I included Memento only for the sheer and incomparable uniqueness of the movie. I fully get why people don’t get it. Also, I included The Fellowship of the Ring, simply because it is so popular and it has never even approached the quality people have always wanted. It was close in many respects.
But including “Brokeback Mountain” at #17????
Ugh.
But, as they say, art is in the eye of the beholder!
Of the ‘Rings movies, I thought Fellowship by far the best and truest to the spirit of the books. It was indeed great. I should have the objectivity to distinguish between it and the other films.
They included Black Panther?
That movie was trash.
