BBC Culture's Top 100 Film of the 21st Century

Post by Spartan »

No idea how three separate films are at #100 in this Icesickle friendly list, but I'm ecstatic Mad Max: Fury Road made it in the top 20 at least.

For our poll to determine the 100 greatest American films, we surveyed 62 film critics from around the world. This time, we received responses from 177 – from every continent except Antarctica. Some are newspaper or magazine reviewers, others write primarily for websites; academics and cinema curators are well-represented too. For the purposes of this poll we have decided that a list of the greatest films of the 21st Century should include the year 2000, even though we recognise that there was no ‘Year Zero’ and that 2001 is mathematically the start of the century. Not only did we all celebrate the turn of the millennium on 31 December 1999, but the year 2000 was a landmark in global cinema, and, in particular, saw the emergence of new classics from Asia like nothing we had ever seen before.
We believe that the new classics on this list are destined to become old classics. Whether or not that happens is ultimately up to you, the moviegoers. But one thing is certain: cinema isn’t dying, it’s evolving.

Was hoping to see Love Exposure or maybe a Refn film on the list.

3 films by Haneke on the list. BBC must be gay for him. Good on them for picking Caché @ 23, my favorite of his.
Whether to Jason of Philaflava or John Podesta, I will speak my fucking perspective openly
