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.
