What isn’t on here that should be? What is on here that should NOT be? What is way too high, way too low, or just right?
Here is the list.
Thoughts?
Children of Men should be higher. I haven’t seen all the ones on the list, but it’s better than all the ones I have seen.
A bit early to be listing the top 100 of the century, isn’t it?
I’ve heard of most of those, but only seen two of them (#44 and #96).
Almost Famous and Amelie should be much higher on the list.Top Gun Maverick shouldn’t be on it at all.
I mean, we are 25% through, so time for reflection seems fine. I’m sure they could have added “…so far” to the list, but I think it is pretty obvious.
I would have these at the top, in no order as:
Lord of the Rings (combined is cheating, but all 3 would be top 10 for me individually)
Inception
Mad Max Fury Road
RRR - not on the list at all???
The Handmaiden
Oldboy
Men - also not on the list! This is the Alex Garland movie.
Hereditary
Well, almost 25%, 
I did also see part of #66, but gave up on it because it was so boring.
Well, I was much more “meh” about Parasite than most other people I know, so right off the bat this list doesn’t work for me 
The highest movie on the list I’ve seen was Interstellar. The visuals were fantastic, and they got the best physicist in the world as science advisor and listened to him… but it was still a pretty bad movie. No way it deserves to be on the top 100 list, certainly not at #5.
They list Mean Girls at #82, but don’t specify whether they mean the 2004 version or the 2024 version. I think the 2024 version was probably better, but I don’t know if that’s the consensus.
Unless I missed it, Avengers: Endgame at #100 is the only MCU movie they have on the list. But that wasn’t even in the top half of the MCU movies. If they were going to only have one, it should have been Avengers, but there were a number of others that probably merited a place on the list.
I’d presume they mean the original.
Yes, despite (or due to) being so over the top it escaped Earth’s gravitational well and floated off into space, RRR is such a striking action film it deserves inclusion here. Certainly more than Fury Road.
There are other films I liked better than some films included on the list - The Menu, Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, Baby Driver etc - but art is so subjective that none of them are hills I care to die on.
On taking another look, Inception is also on the list (#24). That’s another one that just wasn’t a very good movie at all. It’s just a brainless action movie that came up with a gimmick for why all of the rampant destruction of an action movie doesn’t matter. None of the Big Ideas were actually fresh, new, or innovative.
There are also some foreign-language movies on the list, but they’re underrepresented. But that’s to be expected, being chosen by readers of an English-language publication.
Pretty good list IMO showing a very wide variety of types of films. Only 8 films on there out of 100 I haven’t seen. Can’t really argue about any of the top 20. Though I might have them in a different order, they are all uniformly excellent films.
The only film on there out of 100 I thought was actually bad was Tree of Life. That was crap I could not even sit through.
Zodiac and The Incredibles too low, Fury Road wayyyyy too high (sorry Mahaloth!), and Lion and The Father, both of which made me weep at the end, nowhere to be seen, when they are right up there for me. Can’t see Casino Royale either, and as a massive Bond fan, that is criminal because it is top notch Bondage.
I’d have included Moonrise Kingdom somewhere between Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tenenbaums.
I haven’t seen Tree of Life so I can’t comment on that film itself, but I just want to make sure you’re not getting it mixed up with The Fountain, which was horrible and is deservedly not on the list, and could be mistaken as having that title.
Never saw The Fountain. The Tree of Life is a Terrence Malick film that I just found so self-indulgently boring and dull.
Hey, I liked the Fountain! It wasn’t a great movie by any definition, but it had a cool New Wave SF vibe to it. It was an ambitious failure, which to me can be better than a mundane success.
Personally, I think Mulholland Drive is overrated (and self-indulgent).
I’ll probably get voted down for this, but I thought Cloud Atlas was amazing and belongs on the list.
