90/100 is better than I expected but I've been at my worst seeing things the last few years and I guess they didn't want to put too many recent ones on.

81, but most of the ones I missed are ones I have absolutely no interest in. I don't even know what Gleaners, Toni Errdman or Fish Tank are. I'm gonna assume they are boring and pretentious like most of the list.

Also missing:

In The Mood For Love
Call Me By Your Name
Yi Yi
Grizzly Man
Memories of a Murder - will watch this eventually
Melancholia - maybe
The Act of Killing
Volver
Tar
Amour
Aftersun
Best In Show - maybe
Before Sunset - will watch this eventually
A Seperation
Adaptation - maybe
Zone of Interest

I've watched half of Mulholland and Carol but turned them off. One because it sucked, and the other cause I was only ever interested in a "certain part" and lost interest after it happened.

Fish Tank is watchable as a "raw/poor person" British indie instead of more pretentious art movie and has a good Fassbender part, but yeah it wouldn't make the list if it was directed by a man.

Haha, actually I love Magnolia, also I think Boogie Nights is very good and I enjoyed Hard Eight.

But I didn't see Punch Drunk Love and then I started There Will Be Blood, but I kind of disliked that / was bored by the start of it, turned of the film and I haven't seen any more minutes of the PTA films since then.

I really couldn't stand Punch Drunk Love. I'd definitely go TWBB, Boogie Nights and Magnolia over it. Haven't seen his last two or The Master.

48. The Lives of Others (Dir: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck)
36. A Serious Man (Dirs: Joel and Ethan Coen)

80. Volver (Dir: Pedro Almodóvar)
83. Inside Llewyn Davis (Dirs: Joel and Ethan Coen)

Thanks, I do like the Coen brothers and been meaning to see Past Lives. The others are foreigners and I could see them, but I always worry they're too artsy for me.

Post subject:  Re: How many of NY Times top 100 of 21st century have you se
Volver you can skip but The Lives of Others is worth seeing. It has been about 18 years since I saw it, but it resonates. Set in 1980s cold war era East Berlin.
