Watched the first 2 eps (1980s, 1990s) of CNN's Tom Hanks-produced The Movies, but am putting off watching the latest ep about the 21st C. In the 80s ep, i liked about half - yes, i'm a prig - but noted almost every picture, even all the dreadful latchkey fanboy wish-fulfillments, in their rundown as being landmark in its way. For the 90s, those ratios were about 25% good, 75% landmark. I know i'm going to be nostalgic for those %s in the 21C ep, even though it got off to a rollicking start. And this decade................
I know i'm old and movies are made for those who'll go and i wont go, and i know that TV is exploring a lot of the themes & filmmaking techniques i used to look for in movies, but i still want to be swept away & brought home safe as much as i did when i was 11 and, except for the awesome 3D experience of Gravity (which does not translate to 2D, cinematically) that hasn't happened in a very long time.

There are always going to be critiques with lists of this sort... but Magic Mike XXL at #26? I can't say that I've seen that movie, but seems odd. Particularly given that they've left out stuff like 12 Years A Slave, Whiplash, Black Swan, etc.

I’ve done a lot of that too! I love history and art so it’s just a natural path for me.

I'm intrigued by a lot of that list.
But the inclusion of The Last Jedi and Melancholia gives me pause.

The movie from this century that’s stayed in my head the most. This list looks right up my alley. Think I’ll start running through all those that I haven’t seen. Should I start at the bottom or the top?

No and I’m sure you would like some of them and dislike others but it’s just what I’ve seen and I’ve liked. I’m no modern film connoisseur or anything either.

You are probably the first person I know whose also seen it. Yeah it really did stay with me and I listened to that Psychedelic Furs song on repeat for like a week after seeing it. As for the list, it has no order so you should approach it from whichever end you looks best.

I'm aware of its metacritic rating. I suppose it's not weird to put it in a top 100. 27th seems p high.

Oh, my post was misleading. I meant I should see the indiewire list. I have seen all on your list other than La La Land (which I've no interest in seeing).

I couldn’t disagree more. From the fact the singers weren’t typical musical quality singers and didn’t get dubbed, the downbeat ending, the somber tone. I think it quite expertly brought the classic idea of a Hollywood musical into much more modern sensibilities.

Wow, your list makes the linked top 100 one look like a pile of cat poop.
Maybe you should be compiling it instead.

It was horrible (and Scarlett Johanson was often naked in it so that's saying something). I skimmed through if after about an hour of going absolutely nowhere.whoknew said:
