Quote from: nrico2006 on July 23, 2025, 12:58:56 PMChildren of Men, Social Network, American Sniper, Oceans 11, Hurt Locker, Black Panther,  Wall-E,  Ratatouille, Inception, Up, Minority Report, Almost Famous and Bridesmaids should be out too.

You're a harsh man nrico I'd have Almost Famous and Up in there definitely.

Bridesmaids is probably a top 10 comedy in the last 25 years as well although I wasn't a huge fan. Comedy movies have fallen off a cliff in the last 25 years very few that are laugh out loud funny.

Watched Primal Fear recently, courtroom dramas, gone as a genre it seems

Interstellar and Gladiator should be way up that list.

I assume it's 2000 to present as Gladiator was 2000.

Is Parasite that good?  Must give it a watch.

I downloaded a copy and sat down ready to watch Interstellar last week and the sound was completely keek. Had to abort the mission.  I'll be back.

Parasite is excellent, very memorable first watch sort of film but is good second time round as well.

Old Boy is another Korean classic, absolutely off the wall.

Captain Obvious

A top 100 from 1980 to 2000 who blow that list out of the water.

Another shout for Parasite here.
Is Old Boy the one with "that" twist at the end yes?

Oh , missed that. was wondering why the wizard of Oz wasn't  on it

nrico2006

Actually hard to easily identify one's that should be there. Warrior, Drive, Collateral and Avatar should be there.

I have watched 60 of those films. Has anyone seen all 100 of them?

Anchorman is on the list at 85 so it isn't all bad.
