Haven't seen Mulholland Drive. I've seen 22 movies on this list. IMO the best movie of this century is The Lives of Others (32 on this list). The best American movie of this century is No Country for Old Men (10th).

I haven't seen The Lives of Others but I did really enjoy "No Country for Old Men". I would probably put "There will be blood" above "No Country"

 
Artsy Fartsy list.  Where are the ####### superhero movies (and I did see TDK on the list)?  And nothing by Will Ferrell or Melissa McCarthy?  

This list sucks. 

Spring Breakers????

Any list that has Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and No Country for Old Men in the top ten of the century is not a list I agree with. 

 
I've seen 6 in their entirety - Requiem for a Dream, Moonrise Kingdom, The Royal Tenenbaums, 25th Hour, Memento, and No Country for Old Men.  

Bits and pieces of some of the others...Finding Nemo, Almost Famous, Mulholland Drive.

Better than I thought I'd do.

 
Life of Pi belongs somewhere on the list.

I've seen 27 of them:

Requiem for a Dream, Finding Nemo, Let the Right One In, Ratatouille, The Pianist, Dogville, The Royal Tenenbaums,  Inglourious Basterds, Zero Dark Thirty, Moulin Rouge!, Leviathan, 12 Years a Slave, The Dark Knight, Oldboy, WALL-E, 25th Hour, Memento, Lost in Translation, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Mad Max: Fury Road, Pan's Labyrinth, Children of Men, Zodiac, No Country for Old Men, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, There Will Be Blood and Mulholland Drive.

 
Darjeeling Limited, Wes Anderson's best movie, isn't on the list. All the ones that are like parodies of a Wes Anderson film made the list. Moonrise Kingdom is a joke, just a string of set pieces disguised as an actual movie.

If it had ended with him frozen in front of the Blue Fairy this would be about the right spot. But the actual ending really ruins the movie.

If it had ended there, it would be an ok movie, not top 100 of the century.  

The additional stuff makes it top 3 worst all time.

 
No Woody Allen flicks? Ridiculous. Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Melinda and Melinda, Midnight in Paris, Match Point. All quality movies. Hell of a lot better than some dumpster fire like Hurt Locker.

The frustration by people who didn't get Tree of Life is pretty funny.

Getting it and liking it a are not the same thing.  That movie is a dreadful bore created by an artiste for his post-hippie self styled pseudo intellectuals who fancy themselves the smartest folks in the room, any room, audience.

a lot of movies that I like, but there are some stinkers (spring breakers was awful, derivative, gratuitous garbage) in there.

and IMO City of God and Lives of Others are top 5. glad to see yi-yi right up there.

llewlyn davis and the Master are grossly overrated here.

I dunno, Roger Ebert was always an everyman when it came to reviews, and he loved it.

 
No Goodfellas.......even on a BBC list is wrong.

Brooklyn is one of the worst movies I have ever sat through. I could give you all the reasons it was a total dud but then I would have to waste even more time explaining why I hated that film. I'm Irish even and I hated much of the film.

I really liked Brooklyn. It was in the top 10 of movies I saw last year. Saoirse Ronan was a true treasure in the movie.

I was really surprised that none of the LOTR movies were included

1st of all it took place in the 50s, they should have set it in the 20s or 30s, I felt like I was watching a movie that wanted to be something else. 

And she only comes back to America because she is outed in Ireland and the whole process smells of religious dogma but that wasn't the way the film presented itself early on.

It was a bad movie that got a lot of critics to approve it because IMO it seemed like a small film they were supposed to get behind but the script/story was horrible.  

I guess you enjoyed The Hours?
