Top 100 movies since 2000

29, including Brokeback Mountain I jerked off to it a handful of times at most, hence I'm safe.

34 - most of them some time ago when the kids were younger. I took my son to watch Brokeback Mountain 30 times in the vain hope that he would have a career in marketing.

So I just watched Parasite. My initial reaction was "I'm not sure why this won Best Picture at the Oscars or is on the top of this Top 100 list" and while that holds true, overall the movie was well made and I enjoyed viewing it. Maybe my expectations were higher, and in retrospect, I suppose there was a "Hitchcock" structure/style that made it worth viewing.

I don’t see Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World on that list.

[xenon]

43 - most of them I watched over 10 years ago. I don't watch that many films these days.

Yeah there’s those years of parenthood where you don’t watch any movies that don’t have talking animals in them.

Unless you’re Tyler Robinson, then you’re watching them even more than you did as a kid. Though they are kinda different…

Have seen 15 on that list.

I only recently learned that one of my favorite movies, Rushmore, was directed by Wes Anderson, a guy I somehow decided I had no interest in, without ever knowingly seeing one of his movies. I see a few of his movies up there and will make it a point to see them all. It’s not so heavy a lift to be a completist with directors. He and Paul Thomas Anderson deserve that.

@Horace not sure if it’s marketing but I’ve heard Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest movie, One Battle After Another, is really great. Apparently an extremely hectic first hour too

Just watched Moonlight. You may recall it dramatically one best picture after an incorrect announcement was made.

The film is set in three acts, the acting is terrific throughout, but the first act for me was the best, the other two acts were a bit on stall mode… a decent movie that was made in a way that almost required it to be a best picture nominee, but not one I’ll watch again.
