[BothWings]

I really just can't say...
But I might nominate Interstellar, and Flight, for starters.

 

[1srelluc]

All Quiet on the Western Front, which is nominated for a total of nine Oscars, including Best Picture and Best International Feature Film.

Blah, I'm sure something woke/black will beat it out.

 

[Synthaholic]

Not necessarily in order.

Gravity
Minority Report
No Country for Old Men
American Hustle
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
There Will Be Blood
12 Years a Slave
The Hurt Locker
Mad Max: Fury Road
Skyfall
Casino Royale
The Dark Knight
Internal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Bourne Identity
Monster
The Town
Watchmen
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Django Unchained
X-Men: Days of Future Past
The Incredibles
Finding Nemo
Spotlight
Gangs of New York
Wall-E
Ratatouille
Prometheus



That's all I can remember. I'm sure I'm leaving out a bunch of good ones. I did have to google some, like Gangs of New York, Internal Sunshine, and Finding Nemo, unsure if they were late-1990s. There are some that are called excellent, but I never watched, like Brokeback Mountain, Inception, Pan's Labyrinth, Parasite, or any of the Lord of the Rings movies.

Who knows....I haven't been to the movies for years.

I don't do that anymore.

Me neither. I've seen No Country For Old Men, because it was the Coen Bros., but I thought it wasn't that good. If it's the best of this century, then we haven't missed anything.

Was it as good as the one with John Boy and Ernest Borgnine?

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

I dunno. I really haven't seen anything in the past 30 years that was worth watching over again...........except for a few types of genre movies I like, but I wouln't call them the best movie of this century.

Of course, then again..........you'd have to give me the criteria of which you would consider a movie "the best of the century". That would narrow it down for me I suppose.

I really thought "The Outpost" was an excellent movie. .

 

[candycorn]

Tick Tick Boom. Awesome film.

Flight fascinates me. The alkie element. So real.

No Country for old men was very good. When on HBO i will tune in parts of it even after seeing it since the mudlim killed the country.

Gawd, that one sucked major ass.

This year's Oscar winner ( to be ) , All quiet on the Western Front , though some will contend that a re-make does not count .


Which rules out the Sun , Moon and the Stars .

The remaking of any really good movie is, as any sane person would agree, the only crime truly worthy of slow and painful execution.

Not in every case. The Front Page was not bad as a remake of His Girl Friday, itself a movie version of Ben Hecht's stage play The Front Page. The Maltese Falcon with Bogart was the third remake of that movie.

There are several we enjoy over and over.
If the year 2000 is 21st Century (I imagine its the last year of the 20th Century), the best is "Chocolat."

But also my runners up would be:
"Open Range"
"Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl"
"The Help"

All made early in the 21st century

Too many these days are mostly gratuitous sex, violence, profantity and special effects covering up weak disjointed story lines, lack of character development, sloppy or unimaginative editing, and lacking amazing photography that made so many of the earlier films forever unforgettable.
