My Favorite Films Of The First Quarter Century

 





The fact that we are now a quarter way through the 21st Century already is rather disconcerting, but it gives me an excuse to make up another list. 

These are my favorite films from 2001 to the present. I base my choices on my own personal preferences--they have nothing to do with popularity, awards, box office, politics, trendiness, etc. I'm sure I've overlooked a few titles. It's not like I spent hours and hours doing research on this....it's merely meant to be entertaining. 

And yes, every so often I actually do watch movies made in the 21st Century.....and I usually wind up being more disappointed than inspired. The list is in no particular order. 



THE LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy 

KILL BILL (Volumes One and Two)

BATMAN BEGINS

ROGUE ONE

SHIN GODZILLA

GODZILLA MINUS ONE

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER

CASINO ROYALE

WATCHMEN

PACIFIC RIM

BLADE RUNNER 2049

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD

ENNIO

DUNKIRK

DUNE (Parts One and Two)

GANGS OF NEW YORK

  1. An interesting list. I've only seen four of your choices: LOTR trilogy, Batman Begins, Blade Runner 2049 and Gangs of NY. I love the trilogy, I think Batman Begins is OK but I'm not a fan of the latter two movies. You're a much more adventurous moviegoer than I am!! Just curious: What is the appeal of Kill Bill 1&2? I hear so many people praising both films.

    1. I'd say the appeal is that both movies are outrageous over-the-top adventures.....Tarantino knows how to put on a show. And the fact that they star a gorgeous blonde doesn't hurt either.
