BBC Lists Top 100 Films of 21st Century; David Lynch Tops It
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
There may still be 84 years to go, but a new list ranks David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive," Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love" and Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood" as the top films of the 21st century - so far.
The BBC created the Top 100 list by surveying 177 film critics - from every continent except Antarctica - and included films from 2000, though not technically the start of the century. Among the notable entries: Todd Haynes' "Carol" at No. 69 and "Her" by Spike Jonze at No. 84.
No films directed by Woody Allen, nor any by Alejandro G. Inarritu, who won back-to-back directing Oscars for "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)" and "The Revenant," made the list.
