Earlier this year the New York Times published a list of the 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century. Compiled by, as they state:
“More than 500 influential directors, actors and other notable names in Hollywood and around the world voted on the best films released since Jan. 1, 2000. Here is how their ballots stacked up."

They also let the readers select their favorites as well. Which was suspiciously similar to the list of the notables.

So we decided to look elsewhere. We found a list on the Guardian which was a little different. It stopped at 2019 so it’s wasn’t as complete as the NYT. But still a great reference point.

Join Patrick Bracken, Andrea Wolanin and Skip Shea for a fun and irreverent discussion as they go through the lists - eventually - and listen to their thoughts on these lists. And lists in general.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
