The Jackie hatred on here just doesn't let up. If I ever get around to seeing Black Panther I reckon I'll enjoy it.

I definitely don't hate Black Panther, and I think it's great how much it connected with an underrepresented audience. 5/10 for me, very standard Marvel fare with notably shit cg fight scenes. I only mentioned it cos I thought most of the rest of the list was pretty spot on. Same with The Lost City of Z - actually could have been really good but Charlie Hunnam is just a terrible actor. Extremely handsome though.

Wasn't aware that Jackie hatred was common here but I do think it's really shit. And I was so excited for it too, what with the great trailer and Mica Levi score. Just found it so empty and boring - up there with Drive at the top of my critically acclaimed films I actively hate list.

Lots of Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy love here and I very much agree.

My own top ten, counting down: Four Lions, Christine, The Other Side of the Wind, Cloud Atlas, Drive, Dunkirk, Gravity, Mad Max: Fury Road, It Follows and Under the Skin.

Christine came out in the 80s. Duh! And it is a bit cheesy. I mean, a killer car? As if!

There is nothing more more timely or more evergreen than a big red car on fire running over Jerk Fonzie.

I definitely don't hate Black Panther

I'll happily stick my hand up and say (again) that I hated it - terrible acting, ropey script, mostly dodgy CGI (even compared with dodgy CGI in general), and SO right-on and knowing it feels badly dated already.

Having said that, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 hovers at the very top - and by a BIG margin - of my list of recent abominable major blockbuster films.  It's a bun fight between that and Last Jedi.

not quite conforming to the topic but The Guardian have gone for BEST 100 OF THE 21ST CENTURY SO FAR

Plenty I haven't seen but it gives the impression of more of the same as Indiewires for me, some good stuff but mixed in with a few rather backhanded nods to the mainstream,  political grandstanding, obscurism, overplaying recently hyped films and Wes Anderson.

Found Zama to be a bit of a disappointment, not bad but more a navel gazing version of Aguirre that preffers to wallow in IMHO not especially interesting obtuseness rather than really commit to its story.

[Bad Ambassador]

Team America as the 10th best film of the last 20 years. Hmm.

[DukeDeMondo]

My Top Ten of the Twenty Tens. No particular order.

Hard To Be A God

Tangerine

Le Quattro Volte

The Turin Horse

The Woman In Black*

Kill List

Under The Skin

Blue Valentine

Toy Story 3

November

Just thrown together off the top of my head, know. Probably a bunch of really obvious stuff I'm forgetting about. Widows. Anomalisa. Rocketman. Hagazussa. Maybe they should be on there? Maybe they would be, if I was thinking about it yesterday or tomorrow instead of today. Who knows? 

* The uncut version, I mean, not the fucked about with version that was released in the UK with the howls all knotted and the shrieks all dulled.

EDIT: Fuck, The Lego Movie. Should be on there, but I dunno what I'd take out to make room for it. Balls.

[imitationleather]

How did "worst film ever" Zero Dark Thirty make the list? Were only 100 films released this decade or something?

[joaquin closet]

Gwarn A Serious Man.

TWBB the obvious choice, and for a reason.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

Put Under the Silver Lake on the list, you cowards!
