New York Times 25 Best Films of the 21st Century

[TheGodling]

40 year old virgin made it over Children of Men :logan:

lol @ singling out Children Of Men like that's the only movie more deserving to be on that list than fukking The 40 Year Old Virgin.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

I've seen 10.


@ 40 hear old virgin being in there

 

[Uno]

Superbad is the best comedy this century

 

[QuintessentialMan]

trash list.
3 of them i agree with though.
ive seen 8 of them and only heard about a further 6 though so maybe i'll check some of the others out.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

What a weird list. Reads more like an assortment of genres, rather than a 'best of' list.

 

[straightcash]

I have seen 16 of them, of the remaining 9 films I am only familiar with (have heard of) 2 of them.

Not that it matters because the list loses all credibility for including The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Regardless I will agree with the assessment of @FlyRy that he sucks as a cinephile.

WOW. They really put 40-Year-Virgin in this shyt?

Wtf, with all the other good movies out there?

 

[Jax]

I still haven't seen Million dollar baby.

 

[MartyMcFly]

Yeah I get the desire to have a comedy on the list but 40 year old virgin seems like....not saying it wasn't funny, but is the funniest movie this century? It's definitely important but is it the funniest

If it was supposed to just represent comedies I actually think it would fit.


A lot of careers were launched off that film.

 

[Tommy Fits]

They didn't include no country for old Men

That's why I feel like it's there. It may not be the funniest (to me anyway) but you can make an argument it's the most important. like you said it launched a lot of careers and outside of the hangover it's the most imitated story now this century for comedies.

 

[g-ice]

Seen 13 in there and ummm,...yeah

Odd choices of films to say the least.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Jesus that's a terrible list

 

[Alpha Male]

Boyhood was the biggest waste of an ambitious project I've ever seen.

Amazing technical achievement but so forgettable. Can't recall 90% of it.

 

[Cattle Mutilation]
