NYT: The Best 100 Movies of the 21st Century
Saturday, June 28, 2025
I’m a sucker for these types of projects: “The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century,” as selected by 500+ directors, actors, and other “notable names in Hollywood and around the world.” Love the chance to see individual ballots as well. The fluid presentation allows you to note what you’ve seen (82 in my case), mark what you’d like to see, and create your own top-10 ballot. Here’s mine:
A few more I have great memories of seeing since 2000: Yi Yi, Columbus, Ida, Cold War, There Will Be Blood, Winter’s Bone, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Boyhood, The Lives of Others, The Master, Private Life, Past Lives, Marriage Story, A Separation, Drive My Car, Tree of Life, Tár, Anatomy of a Fall, Manchester by the Sea, Lady Bird, First Cow, The Squid and the Whale, The New World, Saint Omer, Petite Maman, Aftersun, George Washington, Selma, Get Out, The Best of Youth, Bright Star, Meek’s Cutoff, Ex Machina, and Gerhard Richter Painting.
