The 100 Best Films of the 21st Century—And What They Say About Us

Hey, friends. You know I love a good list. And when The New York Times dropped their Top 100 Movies of the 21st Century, based on a massive poll of over 500 directors, actors, and critics… I had thoughts.

 

Big ones.

 

So in this episode, I’m diving deep into this beautifully curated, occasionally controversial cinematic canon—what made it in, what was left out, and what it says about us as people, storytellers, and watchers of the world.

We’ll talk about:

• 🎬 Why Bong Joon Ho’s "Parasite" topped the list—and why it absolutely deserves it

• 🚗 The high-octane magic of "Mad Max: Fury Road" (yes, it hit me in the chest too)

• 🌀 Why "Mulholland Drive" still messes with our heads—and that's the point

• 🌍 The rise of non-English language films and what that means for the future of storytelling

• 🍿 The surprising lack of Oscar Best Picture winners—and why being timeless doesn’t mean being safe

• 📱 The curious absence of streaming-only films, and what that says about how we still crave the big screen

 

This isn’t just a list—it’s a snapshot of who we are as a culture. What we value. What we return to. What we remember.

 

And if you love movies like I do (Denzel, if you're listening—you’re forever top 5), this episode’s for you.

 

If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination. Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always…stay ALL IN!
