These are the best movies of the 21st century, according to movie experts and fans
Looking for something to watch on your next movie night? Film fans and industry experts have chosen the best 100 movies of the 21st century, giving a long list of must-watch titles. The New York Times compiled two lists - their industry expert list came first, picked by "Oscar-winning directors like Pedro Almodóvar, Sofia Coppola, Barry Jenkins and Guillermo del Toro, as well as acclaimed actors like Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mikey Madison, John Turturro and Julianne Moore". Next, they asked readers for their views on their favourite films released since 1 January 2000 - and while there's plenty of crossover between the two lists, there are a few differences, giving a fully-rounded picture of well-made films that are entertaining to watch. Take a look at the top 10 from each selection. Parasite Mulholland Drive No Country for Old Men There Will Be Blood Interstellar The Dark Knight Mad Max: Fury Road Spirited Away Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The Social Network Parasite Mulholland Drive There Will Be Blood In the Mood for Love Moonlight No Country for Old Men Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Get Out Spirited Away The Social Network Many of the same titles crop up in both lists, showing plenty of agreement between fans and experts. Bong Joon Ho's Oscar-winning Parasite, the first non-English-language film to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards, tops both lists. David Lynch's psychological thriller Mulholland Drive placed second in both lists. Differences between the top 10s include Interstellar, The Dark Knight and Mad Max: Fury Road appearing in the readers' favourites, while they make 89, 28 and 11 respectively according to industry insiders. Meanwhile, the experts loved In the Mood for Love, Moonlight and Get Out, but film fans placed them in positions 12, 18 and 17 on their list. Generally, film fans chose more blockbusters and crowd-pleasers for their 100 favourites, including Sinners, Barbie, Mean Girls, Dune: Part One, Dune: Part Two and Top Gun: Maverick. Critically acclaimed films, including Roma and Frances Ha, were favourites in the expert's list that did not translate to those readers chose. See both full lists from movie experts and film fans at The New York Times.
