Detournement Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/sep/13/100-best-films-movies-of-the-21st-century Presumably to mark 1/5th of the (possibly final) century being behind us The Guardian have decided to do loads of Top 100 lists. The music album list isn't even worth discussing but the film list has a lot of good stuff on it. I haven't watched enough foreign language movies to confidently critique the list but there are some strange choices and for me some crazy omissions. The fact that Ted is on the list is fucking mental. The films that jump out as missing for me are City of God, Four Lions, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Children of Men, The Pianist, Inside Lewlyn Davis, Motorcycle Diaries, Y Mama Tu Tambien, Shame, Moon, Zodiac, The Master, Springbreakers, Enemy, Nightcrawler, Igby Goes Down, Moon, Moonrise Kingdom, O Brother Where Art Thou, Nocturnal Animals and the Baader Meinhoff Complex. (I possibly got carried away into some more personal choices there). I'm not sure about There Will Be Blood as number one. The Master is better in every way and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Joaquin Phoenix are incredible whereas Daniel Day Lewis and Paul Dano and that wee boy are annoying as f**k in There Will Be Blood.

The OP Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Very arbitrary list, doubt it would even make my “Top 20 lists” list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig94 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 The Dark Knight is way too low down the list. Heath Ledger's performance in that movie alone, should make it a lot higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I've never heard of half those movies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Looked at the first 20 and the top 20. As much as I fuckin' love Team America, World Police, it's way too high on that list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Paddington 2 should be top three. EDIT: And The Dark Knight is higher than I'd have it. Edited September 17, 2019 by Warren Mears 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 There Will Be Blood is a superb movie mind you. Wouldn't have it top but outstanding performance by Daniel Day Lewis nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
