Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

Its funny how opinions vary. This is onviously not every bodies list or taste. Its the average of a lot of critics. They clearly see more films than most of us. I've seen about half of these and dont like Mad Max or There will be Blood much. However, they are infinitely better films than many I have been unfortunate enough to see.
I would watch in the mood for love regularly and have watched Mulholand Drive many times. Mulholand Drive is probably my favourite film after The Big Lebowski.

Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

Well I thought I was a bit of a Film buff until I saw that list. Only seen 11 of them. Only two that I would see again and thought were great were Wolf of Wall Street and Zodiac. On the "see once and ok scale" I would put Memento, Children of Men, Hurt Locker, History of Violence, Zero Dark 30, Inception, Dark Knight, No Country For Old Men. On the crap scale I would have Mad Max although loved the original.

Mad Max was fucking shit.

Eerie Descent 11:42 Sat Aug 27

Many legendary screen actors built a career out of that sort of repeated screen presence. Nobody praised John Wayne or Clint Eastwood for their versatility.

Agree with the point made about the recent Mad Max - see the first half hour and you've pretty much seen all you need to. It is an exhilarating half hour though imo. It seems to be a problem with this list overall though, that it overrates newer films. I like Boyhood but it will not be remembered in 20 years time. I love the Coens but Inside Llewen Davis is inferior to their best films.

Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

Couldn't agree more Dancer, it was absolute litter. Tom Hardy is the most overrated actor I've ever witnessed, he has a unique quality of being the same character regardless of the role he is supposed to be playing.

Private Dancer 11:21 Sat Aug 27
Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

Mad Max is one of the very few films that I downloaded to watch and turned off after 30 mins or so. Utter garbage.

Alex V 9:54 Sat Aug 27
Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

I've seen 67 of these. Quite a nice little project to see the remainder. I am terrible for watching films that I expect to be good - I feel like I have to be in the right mood, and any hint of tiredness it's hard to watch something worthy.

Mad Max features a crap story, rubbish dialogue and mediocre acting. It's also one of the most visually inventive films I've ever seen, although after the first 30 minutes there's not much new to see in it.

RH 5:45 Fri Aug 26
Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

Please add Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie into the top 10

Can we add Sausage Perty?

Sven Roeder 3:01 Fri Aug 26
Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

Worked out I have seen just over half of these
The two that catch my eye are Memento which I love ...
& The Master which is an enormously tedious pile of poo
Am presuming PS Hoffman killed himself because of the embarrassment of that film

Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

And what exactly is that then?
Its a fucking list of films.

Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

Not a single Lord of the Rings film?

Whether they are your thing or not for them not to be in that list tells you all you need to know.

Brasco: Ahoy there!
Schmidt; Yes?
Brasco: I said ahoy there!
Schmidt: Ahoy yourself
Brasco: John Brasco, Claire Wisconsin
Schmidt: Warren Schmidt, Omaha


About Schmidt (2002) should have been included. When these things are decided by committees, there is always something wrong.

And. The Secret in Their Eyes only at 91.! Tells me all I need to fucking know.

Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

A film list chosen by a bunch of hipster's. And not a Michael Bay film sight. I am shocked.

Telling that the top two are repeated, isn't it? Dogtooth is 245 on that list btw.

Pancho 5:50 Thu Aug 25
Re: Best Films of the 21st Century

Nice to see 25th Hour there but City Of God should be higher.

Certainly higher than most of the top 20
