Glad to see Spirited Away on the list. No War of the Worlds by Stephen Spielberg though? I thought that was a great movie. Better than AI, anyway. Or maybe remakes dont count on the list?

That's a bold, bold choice. I actually really liked it. Think it is the best ever example of a genre that refuses to be made right. I pooped in the bathtub to protest the ending though. Bold.....bold choice. :)

Some good movies in it but how movies like Spring Breakers could land there is beyond me.

Because the list isn't made for normal people, it's made for pretentious hipsters. So while most people would consider Spring Breakers to be garbage, to a pretentious hipster, it's brilliance.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Then I don't understand why  so many movies  for "normal" people are there as well^^

The fact that most people here don't even know most thee movies (myself included) clearly shows this is suppose to be some "hipster" list.

Most of those I don't even remember coming to the big screen or a trailer for it on tv.

Reading through the posts, I dont know if I should feel embarrased or proud that I dont know most of the movies. I'm not too much into films to be fair, but still...

But no Pixar movie in the Top 5 or even Top 10 is bad.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Holy shit that list is terrible lol

I don't think I've even heard of most of these movies. Where's The Departed, Gladiator, LotR, Django Unchained, V for Vendetta, etc, etc....? Get outta here

If you haven't even heard about most those movies then how can you say the list is terrible? The fact that you haven't heard about most of them is already a sign of ignorance in the subject honestly but is true that the films you name could perfectly be on the list too (except Gladiator).

Or maybe everything you are just unable to understand qualifies as pretentious and hipster in your head.

Spring Breakers is the most questionable movie of the entire list, but there are way more great films than questionable ones in it.

I have seen 67 of them, is a very respectable list, lots of classics and even underrated movies, but the order of the ranking is really questionable.

My top 30 of the century would be:

30. Wolf of Wall Street
29. Seom 
28. Lost In Translation
27. Where The Wild Things are
26. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
25. Inside Out
24. Mullholland Drive
23. Amelie
22. Requiem For a Dream
21. Enter the Void
20. The Social Network
19. El Secreto de sus ojos (The Secret In Their Eyes)
18. Let The Right One In
17. UP
16. The Dark Knight
15. Gravity
14. Her
13. El Laberinto Del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
12. Mad Max: Fury Road
11. 24 Hour Party People
10. Hedwig and the angry inch
9. Dancer In the Dark
8. Toy Story 3
7. Oldboy
6. In the Mood For Love
5. La Vie d' Adele (Blue is the warmest color)
4. Dogville
3. Wall-e
2. Spirited Away
1. City Of God

And I'm still leaving out tons of films I loved like There Will be Blood,  Amour, Howl's Moving Castle, The Pianist, Hierro 3, Castaway On The Moon, Scott Pilgrim, Once or Almost Famous

Nice list! And a couple of films I didn't even know about! Thanks a lot!

You're welcome, your top is pretty nice too, there's some movies there that I could have included in mine if I didn't forgot them like Dreamers, We need to talk about kevin, 4 months 3 weeks 2 days,  A separation or The Russian Ark. Pretty good movies.

So you thought this was an all time best ranking and the only thing you miss is The Princess Bride? XD

Is a list about movies of the 21 century, hard to include a 1987 film.
