Netflix has been making smart decisions for the past 4yrs in the movie department with grabbing bonafide stars and top directors to their films.
Not the indie crap filled with literal unknowns they're known for.

Here's the full list for those curious of the TOP 100 21st Century movies:


I've watched 38/100..... 😭😭

Basically that's about 38 movies I've watched so far in a possible 76 I would have watched.

More Chris Nolan movies gets in but farther down the list in the top 100: Memento, Inception, Oppenheimer, Interstellar.

Zidoh:
Have you watch this epic movie ?

abduleez1:
Damn..... The perfect casting for Circe. Since Anya Chalotra is Circé in DCU, I don't mind Charlize being Hecate.

Pls Nolan, make it R rated and you'd be my GOAT. 🙏🏽

I'm sorry to say but this list is trash bro.
No wonder they keep churning out trash these days.

Lmaoo... like 90% of the films here are so niche... Though i have seen a great number of them, but I can't genuinely recommend many of them, to a casual cinephile, make the person no go naked, swear for me 😩😩.

Again, these lists are always flawed like i would always say, our perceptions of what a really good movie is, is so so wild to be tied down to any list.

I saw "Citizen Kane" (1941) one time, basically to aura farm and say i am into classics, and bro, i almost vomited at the rubbish this movie was serving 😭, i don't remember even finishing it and this is supposed to be one of the greatest movies of all time o...oh please please please!

For me it's a Masterpiece.
Slow burn but the pay off is outright worth it.

Mulholland Drive.......8/10

What's with David Lynch's weird style of storytelling? Why is this dude obsessed with dream sequences and ambiguous storytelling.

This is one of the most ambiguous movie I've ever watched seducing me into the story and confusing me once more throughout, even until the end where I began piecing everything together.

It's a pretty slow burn and everyone might not be patient with it. I was beginning to get annoyed after 1hr of watch time and I'm yet to understand what the whole story was about. Even slept off yesterday night after an hour.

Things really begin to kick off from around 1hr25min or so. And then it began a wild ride or what's real and imaginary.

It's a brutal take on living the Hollywood dream.
Wanting to be a successful actor or actress.
Get auditioned. Wow the filmmakers. Get the role. Kill it. And then begin an accomplished career of stardom and success.

It is always sweet dreaming this shït up but reality sets in about the brutal nature of the industry.

I was already cussing the director midway into the film cos I was losing my patience and really needed to get to the juicy part. You might still not understand the movie even after watching the whole thing trying to figure out what was dreamed up or what was reality. But once you fully understand the film you'd begin to appreciate it's story or the whole point to it.

It's a brilliant take albeit a weird and overly ambiguous one.

David Lynch's love for sound score driving his movie is cool but his style of sound design isn't one I'm keen on. I don't really like his sound choices and I just knew I was watching a David Lynch production just by the sound after watching that his atrocious EraserHead movie. 😭😭

I also mostly don't like how some scenes very noticeably in the first 45mins or so where some sounds where higher than normal and some were lower than normal in many instances. It was kinda distracting having to adjust my volume most times.

Top top film, overall. Great acting from the cast....darn beautiful women with a decent dose of pristine nüdity and bööbs. Great film....reminds me of VERTIGO and how films of that era (20th century) were made. Old school directing with mature themes and serious topics, no frills attached and without the nowadays focus on agendas.

BlackManta:
Nooooooooooooooo

Anyway, looking forward to Superman.

11 days to go.

oyaskii:
First of the triple summer slam, and it's well on it's way to "El bomba" 💥 👀.

Not a good sign 😬

Beorn:
The audience rating is what truly matters. Critics ratings of Jurassic franchise have always not been so great, yet the audience end up making it gross highly.

Illusioneffect:
It probably will be
Greek mythology is brutal: blood, guts, gods misbehaving, monsters, seduction, existential dread.

Baddestguyp:
Just finished this movie...

The movie is good but Critics calling it one of the best movies of all time must be joking...

On that list there are way better movies...

For a better version of the movie, go watch Perfect Blue.


Both movies have some similarities but Perfect Blue is much better.

Baddestguyp:
Maybe it's me, but I prefer The Handmaiden to Parasite...

Although Parasite did have themes that resonated more with society

Only 1 Wong Kar-Wai movie on the list?

Love Exposure (2008) I watched a few weeks ago should be there as well...
Although I think the perverted scenes may have put off some critics...

abduleez1:
Lmao why now?? Why you go spoil Citizen Kane like that?? !! 😭😭😭

I don download that film for over a year or two now, but to watch am na problem. You don come add to my fear. I watched Netflix's MANK that's an adaptation of how Citizen Kane came to be and I can put that movie in greatest movie list of all time I've ever seen, despite it being in Black and White.
Gary Oldman became a generational GOAT for me after watching that movie.

Na wetin make me go download Citizen Kane to actually see what the final product was and all the awards and controversy it garnered.

But that behaviour of pretending to be a "true Cinephile" by watching classics, is so on point. 😂😂
I say I wan do Agba cinephile I download "A Space Odyssey" and that film is one of the shittiest shite I've ever seen.... I never still finish that movie till today after watching about 30-45mins I dey fear to go back. But I already know I hate that movie and just believe people who love that movie are just pretentious putting it in the GOAT list.

I no know wetin Stanley Kubrick dey cook for there and I'm not buying it about it being a very different era from now when it was released. 😭😭

oyaskii:
There was a time i was actively chasing all the classics.. Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Lawrence of Arabia etc., then i realized there was zero prices for seeing them, i had to disembark make mid no go wound me 😭.

There are some good ones, but mannn, the stories hold up, but the other aspect of the film making was most times gutter quality, considering film making, now is like, light years above it... maybe people born in those era would appreciate it more, but mann i know where to draw the line, might revisit later on, but make better film breeze blow my hair small 😩😩
