Because some films appeal to both: like Inception and Mad Max. But the top hipster movies since 2000 are all on this list. But this list is clearly missing some of the greatest movies of the time period, Lord of the Rings as an example. On any normal list, Lord of the Rings, or at least one of the trilogy, would be top 10. But hipsters don't like it, so it doesn't even make the top 100, instead they put on crap movies like Spring Breakers.

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.

not a great but a good list

first movie that comes to mind to add is The Hunt

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.

Doesn't ring any bell. This is the very first time I'm hearing about this movie. xD

I'll add it to the "To watch" list.

Mulholland Drive is one of my favorite movies so I have no issue with that being at the top (I mean, it's just a a neo-noir version of the Wizard of Oz with lesbians and hitmen, but damn if it doesn't do dream logic better than anything else out there), the rest of the list is sort of hit or miss, but I'm glad Oldboy is still getting some love, I think I've seen Memento, Requiem for a Dream, and The Royal Tenenbaums  a couple dozen times a piece now. 

Surprisingly, this is a little less art house-y than I was expecting coming from a critics poll. I would have put Battle Royale on there from a pure entertainment prespective.

Tbh, I didn't understand anything about the film. It was really beautiful and well directed (I really liked that "documentary" about life scene), but I just couldn't put all the pieces together. I still don't see the relation between all the film parts XD. But, yeah, I know a lot of people who really love the film, and some people hate it. It was always gonna be a very polarized reception.

I don't know what's so hipstery about the list. There are plenty of blockbusters and mainstream movies on that list. But obviously there are films outside Hollywood, in case some people don't know.

Pretty much what I did.

No Lord of the Rings? Lol. At least Wall-E is there.

For a list made out of 177 critics around the planet is impressive how little hipsterism is on it.

Let's be honest here, the only people that would think this list is very hipster is mostly people that knows little to nothing about the subject, it is actually a great test to perceive those who never watches anything outside hollywood blockbusters and yet have the balls to call hipster to everything else simply cause they don't get it.

Is like if someone spend his life eating McDonalds everyday and then suddlenly someone gives him a Paella and then he goes like what is this shitty food? Where is the Ketchup, the fat meat and the melted cheese??  what a shit for snobs and hipsters!! And critics think Paella is better than McDonalds? They know nothing, they are just pretentious people!
