    I don’t agree with the placement on some of these. Gladiator is way too low. In all fairness I would have put Iron Man and Cap 2: Winter Soldier somewhere on this list. It skews a little pretentious.

    PRESS THE LITTLE RIGHT ARROW FOR THE LIST



    What’s say you, Clutchfans? What was missed and what should have been left off?

    I'm surprised Mad Max Fury Road was so high. I loved that movie but it's really just a fun, well-done action movie.

    American Sniper? Probably shouldn't be on the list.

    I would have moved Everything, Everywhere All at Once into the top 10 or 15.

    Maybe 20 or so of these I haven't seen yet so can't comment, but overall a pretty good list.

    Replace it with Black Hawk Down.

    Under the Skin and The Tree of Life were both totally pretentious crap.

    O Brother, Where Art Thou? is too low.

    I would put The Prestige and Rogue One somewhere on there.

    I think the prestige is my favorite movie of his. Top 3 would be the 2nd Batman and interstellar.

    Might be a bit early for a definitive list.

    ...though given post-covid box office struggles, maybe not?

    Thanks. It wasn't obvious from the thumbnail where the slideshow dots are white on white. I'm still booing Xerobull regardless.

    I'm glad that Arrival (2016) was on the list. It gives me a chance to say that it was an abomination that Amy Adams wasn't even nominated for Best Actress, and not only should she have been nominated for an Oscar, she should have won. In my opinion.

    Damn, I didn't even notice that The Prestige wasn't on there. I feel bad because that's a top 5 movie of all time for me.

    the 1st thing that stands out

    Mad Max Fury Road the 11th best movie of the 21st century??

    Marvel has fallen off a cliff to me, but Infinity War should be on there.

    Mostly see all of the ones that would be near the top of my list. Overall, it seems like they did a pretty good job.

    On first glance, these are the ones I disagree with the most.
    #5 Moonlight
    #23 Boyhood
    #32 Bridesmaids
