100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century - BBC
The 21st Century's 100 Greatest Films
Quote:
A poll by BBC Culture of 177 film critics from 36 countries aimed to find the best films of recent memory.
Matthew Anderson, the editor of BBC Culture, said greatest film polls often looked right back into the past.
“But we wanted to find out about the best films in recent memory. These are the films that most people feel strongly about.
“We hope that this list will spark discussion and debate, not just among critics and film aficionados, but among everyone who enjoys movies and has an opinion about what makes a good one.”
Each critic was allowed to submit 10 films which resulted in a total of 599, then sorted into the top 100.

I adore this one.
Also at Spirited Away. My favourite animated movie.
Overall, some great movies on the list, even if I would change a few things.

Wow. I haven't seen no. 1, 3 and 8. Will watch soon. A separation slaying, truly one of the best films.
In the mood for love is definitely the best chinese movie of all time along with chungking express.
Poor the most overrated movie that is crouching tiger hidden dragon. I see why china chose in the mood over dragon for the oscars. It's a classic.
Pan's labyrinth is one of my favorite movies.
Once and the Diving Bell and the butterfly didn't make it to the list. Sad.

No Kill Bill so the list is immediately invalid. How can two of the most iconic films (and the two best) from this century not be on there?
