Live Poll: Best Movies of the 21st Century

In June 2025, the New York Times published a list of the top 100 best films released since January 1, 2000, based on votes from more than 500 influential directors, actors and other notable names in Hollywood and around the world. Which of their top 25 is your favorite? List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls599581583/ Poll: https://www.imdb.com/poll/tpAoLHeoFoY/ https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/movies/best-movies-21st-century.html?unlocked_article_code=1.RE8.aHbf.pbO5_35bR-X1&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Ah, "The New York Times" doesn't know that the 2,000th year isn't part of the 21st century.

Aside from the fact that they included the year 2000 in the poll when it is not part of the 21st century, I think they could have chose their voters more carefully. They excluded so many film historians and foreign critics only to include people who are popular on Letterboxd and other influencers. Even some film directors and actors (judging from the top they gave) aren't as well-versed as critics on 21st century films. Which is understandable since their job is not to watch films, but to make them. This is disappointing because as a cinephile, I want to discover new films. I have no interest in seeing a list of films that I already know. The list they built is interesting only for people who are newly getting interested in cinema, and for people who must have their taste validated by some higher authority. Anyway. Here is my top: Goodbye to Language, Geographies of Solitude, Trenque Lauquen, Flanders, Annette, Holy Motors, Pacifiction, A Couple, Mulholland Drive, Horse Money. Two of my favorite films were not in their database (And, I did not care to add them): The Human Hibernation and Memento Stella
