Those 3 are in my top 10, all masterpieces.

Interstellar is a good movie in the execution however is deeply stupid in its concept and relies too much in cheap emotional tricks to hide its empty nonsense, I enjoyed it cause is well directed and is visually brilliant but I don't think it belongs to this ranking. Still better than Spring Breakers though.

I find the concept of comparing emotions with science really engaging and beautiful. But I really understand the criticisms the film received, and I've always thought that the film would have polarized reception. No problems with that . In my opinion, it was like Nolan meeting Doctor Who, and it felt great xD. And, yeah, I think there are probably hundreds of movies better than Spring Breakers this century. I don't dislike it, but I don't love it. Tree of Life though is one of the most pretentious, non-sensical films I've ever seen. But in general, this century wasn't so bad as so many people say. The blind nostalgia angries me.

Yeah the blind nostalgia is annoying.

To be honest I really liked Tree of Life, I think the movie does make sense, but is too ambitious for its own good and not very friendly with the viewer as it demands a lot of patience, open mind and lots of attention. Ultimately the film fell short of its ambitions because they are just insanely big and the way is made comes as confusing for most of the public so at the end the movie seems to be too pretentious, and it may be a pretentious film, but I think what achieves is still wonderful, its cinematography is ridiculously beautiful and it made me think deeply about life. That said I completely understand why people dislikes it, and I don't think they are necessarily wrong for that as it's a pretty love or hate it kind of experience.
