It’s the beginning of a new year and a whole new decade – meaning we’re now, somehow, 20 years into the 21st Century. It’s already been a transformative era for cinema, from the advent of digital photography, to the democratisation of filmmaking technology, to the rise of online streaming; two decades that saw a superhero blockbuster boom, increased distribution for international movies, and the arrival of vital, diverse new filmmaking voices.

10. Lost In Translation (2003)

9. Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)

8. Get Out (2017)

7. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

6. The Social Network (2010)

5. Moonlight (2016)

4. Inception (2010)

3. The Dark Knight (2008)

2. The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (2001)

1. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)



Rest of the list

I did not care as much for Infinity War and my history on that score is well known and infamous on this board. Endgame, at least in my opinion, was the better movie/payoff.

The MCU should have taken a bow after that but instead they are going to bleed it dry.

I also noticed there were only one Asian movie (Spirited Away) in the top 70. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was all the way down at 90, In The Mood For Love was at 91, and Yi Yi and A Separation didn't even make the list. Meanwhile, they found a way to cram about 41 Marvel movies in there. bullshite list.

Look, I like Lost in Translation. I think it is even a great film.

But, greater than No Country?

How that isn't everyone's #1 movie of the last 20 years is beyond me.

The top 3 are cool, but none of the rest are deserving of the top ten when movies like No Country, There Will Be Blood, and The Act of Killing exists. I'm also partial to The Master for some reason or another.

Last thing, Memento >>> Inception

I know all of these lists are going to be extremely subjective. I still think The Prestige is criminally low at #66.

I loved Infinity War, but not sure it is a top 10 greatest movie of the 21st century. Of course, I don't know their criteria (internal criteria). Maybe they thought it was based on the culmination of the MCU franchise, and it was better than Endgame so it got the nod?

Maybe because in Infinity War they didn't feel the need to make Thor fat?

This was a good film, but in no way should ever be ranked ahead of Return of the King.

ETA: Return of the King is at 43, ranked 20 or so places behind such masterpieces as Into the Spiderverse...

frick this list.

Sorry, but you are way wrong here. Fellowship is a more successful and cohesive film. It is by far the best adaptation of the three movies and lacks the pacing issues of its sequels.

Fellowship was far more deserving of a Best Picture win in 2001 against A Beautiful Mind than Return in 2003 against City of God/Lost in Translation/Master and Commander.

No Country and There Will Be Blood, not only outside of the Top Ten, but behind Infinity War.

It's a pretty common opinion.

I just can't take anyone's opinion seriously that thinks The Social Network is a better film than No Country. Or, other films like Moon, that don't make these lists.

Ex Machina should be in the top 10 and it didn't even make the top 20?

Nothing by Taylor Sheridan in the top 20?
