Good Movies / Re: YOUR Top 2X Films of the 2...
Last post by Rev. Powell - December 30, 2025, 12:32:46 PM
Hard. According to IMDB, I rated 49 films from 2000-2025 a perfect 10/10 (and it's possible I forgot to log some). So I will have to cut about half of them.

25) MYSTERIOUS SKIN (Araki, 2004)
24) HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH (Mitchell, 2001)
23) SITA SINGS THE BLUES (Paley, 2008)
22) THE SECRET OF KELLS (Moore/Twomey, 2009)
21) THE WOLF HOUSE (Cocina/Leon, 2018)
20) BRONSON (Refn, 2008)
19) THE LOVE WITCH (Biller, 2016)
18) BUGONIA (Lathimos, 2025)
17) KNIVES OUT (Johnson, 2019)
16) THE SUBSTANCE (Fargeat, 2024)
15) MEMENTO (Nolan, 2000)
14) EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE (Daniels, 2022)
13) THE WITCH (Eggers, 2015)
12) THE MASTER (Anderson, 2012)
11) BLANCANIEVES (Berger, 2012)
10) THE ACT OF KILLING (Anonymous/Cynn/Oppenheimer, 2012)
9) THE TREE OF LIFE (Malick, 2011)
8) A SERIOUS MAN (Coens, 2009)
7) ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (Gondry, 2004)
6) PAN'S LABYRINTH (Del Toro, 2006)
5) ADAPTATION. (Jonze, 2002)
4) THE LOBSTER (Lanthimos, 2015)
3) WALTZ WITH BASHIR (Folman, 2008)
2) THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (Jackson, 2001). My favorite of the 3 but can stand for the series.
1) SPIRITED AWAY (Miyazaki, 2001)

Good Movies / YOUR Top 2X Films of the 21st ...
Last post by M.10rda - December 30, 2025, 11:07:25 AM
Tarantino did it - however questionably - so we can do it better!

(I like Tarantino as a director, as evidenced by my own list... I just think he has whack taste as a viewer/critic.)

This took me at least a month to compile.  :bouncegiggle: I went with 25 films instead of QT's 20, per 25 years so far in this century, but feel free to make as long a list as you feel like.

There are no rules to this Topic - though I made a few for myself. You do what makes you happy.

I included films from the year 2000 (they certainly are part of the 1900s), which technically would make 2000-2025 twenty-six years. But there are no films from 2025 on my list anyway. (Sorry, WEAPONS.)

I also made the choice to disqualify serialized films. The biggest omission here for me is obviously TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN - which would otherwise probably be #1 or #2 - but if I included that, I'd want to include THE GOOD PLACE, GAME OF THRONES, possibly Lindelof's excellent WATCHMEN sequel, or RUSSIAN DOLL or even more stuff that are cinema but aren't feature films. So!  :lookingup:

This was painful at times to make. A lot of great films I've seen are missing from this list. I am positive a whole lot of great films I haven't seen are missing from this list. But this is my list circa the end of 2025, it'll be different than a top 50 list in 2049 or 2050... and it's still cooler than Tarantino's list!

25.) DAWN OF THE DEAD (Snyder/Gunn, 2004)
24.) INLAND EMPIRE (Lynch, 2006)
23.) POULTRYGEIST: NIGHT OF THE CHICKEN DEAD (Kaufman, 2006)
22.) LATE MARRAIAGE (Kosashvili, 2002)
21.) CHARISMA (Kurosawa, 2000)
20.) WILDCAT (Frost/Lesh, 2022)
19.) IT IS FINE! EVERYTHING IS FINE! (Glover, 20??)
18.) DJANGO UNCHAINED (Tarantino, 2012)
17.) I HEART HUCKABEES (Russell, 2004)
16.) GO DOWN DEATH (Schimberg, 2014)
15.) ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF A SPOTLESS MIND (Gondry/Kaufman, 2004)
14.) IT FOLLOWS (Mitchell, 2015)
13.) A SERIOUS MAN (Coens, 2009)
12.) ICHII THE KILLER (Miike, 2002)
11.) MULHOLLAND DRIVE (Lynch, 2001)
10.) THE DANCE OF REALITY (Jodorowsky, 2014)
9.) PAPRIKA (Kon, 2008)
8.) ZODIAC (Fincher, 2007)
7.) NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (Coens, 2007)
6.) WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES (Tarr, 2000)
5.) RUSSIAN ARK (Sokurov, 2003)
4.) CACHE (Haneke, 2006)
3.) A TASTE OF TEA (Ishii, 2005)
2.) MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (Miller, 2015)
1.) MEMENTO (Nolan, 2001)

There are some peculiar picks but I'll defend any and all of 'em. Please post your own and do likewise! (I won't flame you, I promise.)

For years, I wanted to check this out due to this music video (animated by Christiane Cegavske of "Blood Tea and Red String"):

Glad I finally tracked this down after all these years: the album is amazing! Americana noir.
