Miami Vice being in the top 50 alone makes this list a joke.

The New World at 15? 
Great cinematography and I would even say the first hour is great, but that movie falls off a cliff quickly.

Miami Vice being in the top 50 is one of the things that gives this list credibility.
Michael Mann films in general gain appreciation over time, much like Tony Scott's filmography.
Speaking of which, Man on Fire (2004) arguably deserves a spot on this list.

Master and Commander doesn't even make the list? Shouldve been top 5.

Miami Vice was terrible, and I’m a huge fan of the original tv show. LOTR defined that decade whether people want to admit it or not. I also agree about master and commander being a huge snub. How did Gladiator not make the list?

Allow me to third the opinion that No Country is easily a better movie than There Will Be Blood.
Thank you. Yes.
And unfortunately no love for what could arguably be the finest film of the decade.

No Dark Knight?
ETA: it’s 11 so I guess lol at me. I don’t think it should be top 50 personally.

You might be up on a hill with that one.

I had actually mentioned it further up. It wouldn't sniff my top 10 but it would solidly be in my top 50.
00s had quite a few action movies that were overlooked because they were trippy or atmospheric when audiences were still holding onto the cliches of the 80s and 90s.

It's good but def not the best or even a contender.
Posted on 5/24/20 at 5:37 pm to RLDSC FAN
Mulholland Drive is the. GOAT
Posted on 5/24/20 at 6:05 pm to RLDSC FAN
Miami Vice ahead of Donnie Darko and The Prestige. Yikes.

I really don't understand the love for Mulholland Drive...I think it's one of those things where people say their favorite novel is Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce just so they can sound smart.
From one of Wake's scholars:
That's Mulholland Drive. The first review of that movie I read started out with: "if you like movies that make sense, Mulholland Drive isn't for you." I gave it a go because I like some Lynch movies and abstract art.
But Mulholland Drive is just pure frustration.
From one of Wake's scholars:
quote:
There is no agreement as to what Finnegans Wake is about, whether or not it is “about” anything, or even whether it is, in any ordinary sense of the word, “readable.”

Finnegan's Wake was meant to challenge the very essence of what literature and language are.
Mulhollland Drive makes you question the self-contained narrative of the movie but it doesn't make you question whether it's even a movie at all. It is an assembly of emotions filtered through a combination of dreams, fantasies, and (possibly) reality. The emotions themselves are really the only important thing, no matter what setting they are grounded in. In that way, it's a comment on the film industry itself, as well as the mystique of "Hollywood".
