TSPDT is a modest but fast-growing film resource dedicated to the art of motion picture filmmaking. More specifically, they’ve created an algorithm, assembling lists from all around the world to produce two highly-referenced lists: The 1,000 Greatest Films and The 21st Century’s Most Acclaimed Films. As far as I’m concerned this is the most comprehensive film list on the internet because there are no biases, just the data. Ask most critics/directors/historians and they would say that the list is reputable, especially the top 200. Regardless, the long-awaited yearly update for 21st Century films has come and these are the results: 1 In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-wai) 2 Mulholland Dr. (David Lynch) 3 Yi yi (Edward Yang) 4 The Tree of Life (Terrence Malick) 5 There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson) 6 Spirited Away (Hayao Miyazaki) 7 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Michel Gondry)8 Caché (Michael Haneke) 9 Tropical Malady (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) 10 Uncle Boonmee (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) 11 Holy Motors (Leos Carax) 12 Mad Max: Fury Road (Georg Miller) 13 Toni Erdmann (Maren Ade) 14 Lost in Translation (Sofia Coppola) 15 A Separation (Asghar Farhadi) 16 City of God (Fernando Meirelles) 17 Boyhood (Richard Linklater) 18 Melancholia (Lars von Trier) 19 The Turin Horse (Béla Tarr) 20 Brokeback Mountain (Ang Lee) 21 WALL-E (Andrew Stanton) 22 Moonlight (Barry Jenkins) 23 Under the Skin (Jonathan Glazer) 24 The Social Network David Fincher) 25 Talk to Her (Pedro Almodóvar) 26 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Ang Lee) 27 Dogville (Lars von Trier) 28 Amour (Michael Haneke) 29 The White Ribbon (Michael Haneke) 30 The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson) 31 No Country for Old Men (Joel & Ethan Coen) 32 Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks (Wang ) Bing) 33 The Gleaners & I (Agnès Varda) 34 Werckmeister Harmonies (Béla Tarr) 35 The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (Cristi Puiu) 36 Platform (Jia Zhangke) 37 Russian Ark (Aleksandr Sokurov) 38 The Act of Killing (Joshua Oppenheimer) 39 Elephant (Gus Van Sant) 40 Punch-Drunk Love (Paul Thomas Anderson) 41 A History of Violence (David Cronenberg) 42 Grizzly Man (Werner Herzog) 43 Pan’s Labyrinth (Guillermo del Toro)44 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (Cristian Mungiu) 45 Phantom Thread (Paul Thomas Anderson) 46 Parasite (Bong Joon-ho) 47 The Hurt Locker (The Hurt Locker) 48 Zodiac (David Fincher) 49 Inside Llewyn Davis (Joel & Ethan Coen) 50 Once Upon a Time in Anatolia (Nuri Bilge Ceylan) Contribute Hire me
