City of God is hands down the best movie I've ever seen in my opinion. I was going rant about it not being in the top ten, but to be fair opinions are subjective and they do have it at 15. So I might disagree with some of the placements but you are right the list isn't terrible.

My only favorite on that list is Spirited Away.
The only other films there that I would re-watch: Social Network and Mulholland Drive.

I like this movie but two is ridiculous.
Master and Commander not in the top 10 is also ridiculous.

I change my comment after re-reading the list. Black Panther is the most overrated movie of my lifetime. I mean it was OK for a comic book movie, but not even the best in that particular series or of that phase of Marvel, even.

+1 it's a standard comic book film, just with an all-black cast. The 3rd act has some laughably bad CGI

LOVE both of those movies, but would never in a million years think critics or the likes would put those near the top of a best of list.
Why not? Critics love Tarantino and Scorsese

Yeah at least Get Out did something somewhat creative. Those "issue" movies annoy me not because of the topic, but how they get overrated by pretending that they were the first movie to cover the issue. Call Me by Your Name is a really bad offender, here. That whole movie/trope has been done countless times before and it was the only thing that gave the movie any novelty. Compared to Moonlight, for example, which was awesome on its own.
With Black Panther we have to pretend there was never a black comic book hero before, even though Blade got a trilogy

i don't hate hate it, but there are some ridiculous ones on there as far as ranking in the top 10.
i like get out, but it's not even top 50. moonlight is utter BS.
biggest FU on that list is Interstellar as 89.
other observations:
I've seen 61
No Sicario or Hell or High Water or Wind River is weak
I forget about Children of Men but I think it might be top 10
I don't like Arrival but it's a great movie.
i don't know that it deserves a higher rating, but i also for got how awesome Michael Clayton is.
They put Royal Tenenbaums right by Grand Budapest and those are his only 2.

Yea at one point it would have been pretty high up on my all time list, not just the 21st century. My taste has changed a little after losing some family members and sad movies just don't do it for me as much anymore/I don't really rewatch sad movies these days, but still a near perfect movie.
Actually kind of surprised There Will be Blood is that high. I love that movie so much but it was pretty polarizing.
The Revenant being left off is one of the bigger offenses of the list.

Moonlight is #5? Moonlight?
La La Land is its superior in every way: in craft, composition, and quality.
Such a shame LLL lost to Moonlight.
