I love threads like this.

There are so many great older films that didn’t make the list, but being limited to movies in this millenium will have to make me really think.

I HATED A.I. Couldn’t stand it and wanted to walk out but I was with a date. When we were talking about it in the car she wanted to walk out to but thought I wanted to stay.

Snowpiercer was another stinker. Made no sense at all.

Children of Men was another stinker.

Interstellar is long and somewhat tedious, but the space/time aspect is fascinating although it loses me at times not being a physicist. Arrival I can watch any time. Again, space/time including some clairvoyance. Very cool movie.

I just watched a nice Japanese movie called “Tang”. Safe for kids and some good humor.

“Ken Kasugai has been deserted by his wife, because he was absorbed in a game. One day, missing child robot Tang appears in front of him.”

The only good “multiverse” movie was Jet Li’s The One. Everything Everywhere at Once was 45 minutes too long.

Worse list I have ever seen! What about classics like ‘Forbidden Planet’, ‘The Day the World Stood Still’, War of Worldsthe Worlds’ (1953, and so many more and BETTER movies!!

Out of the 50, I've started watching them all (I say "started" because most I didn't make it to the 45-minute mark; "Snowpiercer" I didn't make through the intro since I saw it was an uncredited rip-off of one of my favorite Amiga games). Having said that...

No "V for Vendetta"? Shame!

There should also be "The Prestige (come on now: David Bowie as Tesla? Yes, please!) and "Monsters". Special mention really should go to "Sputnik", the Russian alien movie from 2020.

Stopping now before I hit "wall of text" syndrome. :)

As a kid in the early 50’s, the original “The Thing” scared the bejesus out of me and my pals.

The Matrix Resurrection made the list, so I stopped at 50.

Blade runner original with Harrison Ford, Rutger Howard.

Final death vs shutdown scene with dove/pigeon to me was best in class.
