After looking over the NY Times’s
list of the 25 Best Films of the 21st Century to date, I starting
think about what films would be on my list. It is tough. On one hand you have
all your favorite movies, some are more objectively good and some are certainly
not; and on the other hand, you have films that are great but not necessarily
films you seek out to watch. I decided on a compromise. These are the films
that I think are the best – but with my biases/loves built in, let run wild. I
also included my favorite documentaries at the end. Ranking all these films is
impossible (I narrowed it down to 103; 13 documentaries and 90 features). So,
this list is organized by year for the features, followed by documentaries and
finally my personal 25 favorites.
