I love Under The Skin.
Fish Tank is great.
Interesting that you have somewhat stuffy hollywood royalty like The Hurt Locker and Wolf of Wallstreet in with more idiosyncratic directors like Bela Tarr and Kim Ki Duk. A strange mix. I thought The Great Beauty and Inglorious Bastards would both be top 20. Tarrantino in particular should hit that film critic-meets-movie reviewer sweet spot.
I'm going to guess Uncle Boonmee, Hidden, Kid with a Bike, Lincoln, The Skin I Live in, Anatolia, Act of Killing are up next. And the coens and pixar to dominate the top 20.

Inglorious Basterds 62?!
My favourite movies since the millennium are Django: Unchained, Public Enemies, The Bourne Trilogy, The Departed, Shutter Island, Legend, This is England, and The LOTR Trilogy. Probably a few I've missed but they're the ones that pop into me head first.

That was an odd film.
I loved the first half but was left scratching my head by the end, in a shabby hotel room with a guy on dialysis.
@R.N7 can you update the OP with these please?
Done.
Ugh
Ida below Moulin Rouge highlights the aggressive pointlessness of these lists. One is a work of art, the worth of which anyone is free to debate. The other is a Baz Lurhmann film.
Ida's an aggressively good film
One of the best films ever made. We agree. I know we do. Sadly I just don't get the time to watch films anymore. 'life, ohhh life...'
Yet you have the time to watch the footy and the cricket and chat about it on here. I think you've got your priorities messed up, man.
Yeah but United is United. As for cricket I don't actually watch that much of it. But yeah I do need to get back into watching good quality films.
Sunshine is one of my favourite's made this century
Brokeback was so much better than Crash. Crash is one of the worst movies I've ever ever seen in my life, and it won. I still can't believe that.
Jesus. Have you seen any direct-to-DVD movies? Those are scraping the barrel
Cronenberg's Crash is brilliant, Haggis should have picked another name for the film, I hate it just for that.
Who are these tweenage girl critics who voted for Moulin Rouge? I mean I actually like it ( although it's no Strictly Ballroom) but it's candy floss, just sugar and air. If it's the first musical you ever saw then sure it's kind of novel but I can't understand who would choose it over the rich Sweeney Todd, the witty Romance and Cigarettes and Pitch Perfect or the weighty Dancer in the Dark.
Avatar will have to be in there somewhere now I guess, just bove My Winnipeg.
Bigelow again?

Good lord, that's a film I can't be watching again any time soon.
Every film would be a bit better with zombie Mark Strong
I loved Dredd but pissed off that they won't be making any more.
Hmmm
Inside Out should be higher!
Loved that film, plus the score by john Murphy is fantastic.
Rumours are they are potentially doing a TV series version possibly on Netflix.
Cartoons should only be on kids films best lists. How can the best animated film even come close to a good film? I'll never understand this.
Leviathan is a great movie.
Why wouldn't it?
I find it hard to care for computer animated characters or drawings. It doesn't make much sense since I like science fiction films but I just can't enjoy animated films somehow.
I've never even seen Wall-E or The Lion King. I'd honestly rather watch a Pauldy movie.
Good lord, I cringe to think what 44 films they have above Blue is the Warmest Color. 12 Years a Slave? Inside Out? Phfft!
Hmmm
I think it's because you're part of that older generation who have grown up with animation and childrens cartoons being synonymous.
If you'd just watch a few and broaden your horizons you'll see that there's a lot of good stuff. I mean the first 9 seasons of The Simpsons is probably the greatest sitcom ever. In science fiction especially, the likes of Akira and Ghost in the Shell are magnificent adult films.
Watch Grave of the Fireflies. If you can get through that without caring for the characters then animation truly has no impact on you
I feel like it's the other way around to be honest. I grew up in a time where it was the most normal thing for kids to watch Manga series like Fist of the North Star and other pretty violent cartoons instead of all this pansy Pokemon stuff they watch nowadays.
I've seen and enjoyed a lot of cartoons when I was younger. Even these last few years I've watched a ton of pixar and disney films with my daughter. I just somehow can't seem to enjoy them anymore, don't ask me why.
Oh, and Ghost in the Shell has been on my watchlist for over 20 years as it's been recommended to me by mates so many times. I'll make myself watch it one day.
Plenty of great films on that last list, though most feel too high up.
You cried watching it, didn't you?Watch Grave of the Fireflies. If you can get through that without caring for the characters then animation truly has no impact on you
Not whilst watching it
