Ha! Good guess, though that does give you huge scope for what the movie might actually be.

I suspect TDK will be on at least two, if not three no.1 lists, and in doing so make it the no.1 collective movie as well. I also know there will be some movies that some will want to Lynch, and others some will find themselves in the mood to love. Who knows whose those films will belong to though? It might take 500 days of Summer to work it out!

My #1 film since 2000 is...

Image

In the mood for love (2000)

Well, it seems some of you have guessed what my #1 film would be. It wasn’t that difficult, it was my #2 film in my all-time Top 100, and my #1 wasn’t from this century. Memories of Murder almost dethroned it, but the beauty of Wong Kar Wai’s masterpiece still is up there.

If the higher-placed films in my Top have a thing in common, it’s how important they have been in my life as a film lover. And of course how well they held up with time. I’ll always remember the day I discovered “In the mood for love”, when it was released back in the fall of 2000. I remember I didn’t really want to see it. Back then, I wasn’t that much interested in Asian cinema (boy has that changed), and in fact, I went to a Paris multiplex to see Charlie’s Angels. But I read the times wrong, there wasn’t Charlie’s Angels when I arrived, it was “In the Mood for love”. I had just done 45 minutes in subway to come watch a film, and even if I had done that to watch Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz kick ass, what the heck, I thought, I’ll go see that Hong Kong film even if I’m afraid it will bore me.
Well, turns out, it didn’t bore me at all. In fact it triggered something in me. I found out that language didn’t matter. The time depicted (Hong Kong in the 60’s) didn’t matter. Beauty is universal. That’s what this film taught me. I fell in love with it, instantly. I fell in love with the languidness. I fell in love with the atmosphere. I fell in love with the music. I fell in love with the costumes. I fell in love with Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung. I fell in love with that unspoken love, that impossible love. I didn’t go looking for that film. But it found me, and changed the spectator I was. It’s one of the most beautiful film I have ever seen in my life, and it is the most beautiful this century has birthed.

The film follows a man and a woman in early 60’s Hong Kong. They are both married, but we never see their spouses. Little by little, something develops between them. Is it love ? And if it is, is it really possible for them to love each other ?

Here’s the official French trailer for you, I only found fan-made trailers or a bad US one online. There are only three lines of dialogues in the trailer. The first says “What are you thinking about ?”. The second says “You think you know your wife ?”. And the third one says “I didn’t think you would come” :

Ah Chien, Chien, you are a bank of global cinema. Not too surprised this was your #1 film of the millennium. And what a film. As you know, it made my Top 10. It's a beautiful film about desire and longing, about that feeling of wanting to do something, the anticipation and sadness it brings. And so amazingly shot. I've seen the film several times, on TV, cinema, and on my Criterion DVD (which includes the wonderful music video for DJ Shadow's Six Days - check it out if you haven't already). I never tire of the ways it which is captures complex and subtle feelings through tiny actions, visuals, and music. So not a bad choice.

And indeed, what a Top 100. Your Top 10 had 8 films from my list alone, and overall we had 30 films in common, which isn't bad considering I haven't seen a quarter of your list. I was delighted and surprised to see you include The Congress, a true cult film, as well as amazing films such as Mustang, Toni Erdmann, and Oslo August 31st. And of course all those wonderful Korean films. This weekend I just watched Park Chan Wook's I'm A Cyborg, and while it's not his best work, it's still full of wit and wonder. And I managed to see Aquarius recently, which probably won't make my Top 100 but was still a great film.

I'll try to ignore the ones I hated, such as the Clint Eastwood films which to me, represent the very worst aspects of masculinity ;)

But what excites me most is the prospect of discovering more great films. I'm already indebted to you for Memories of Murder, and I'm now eager to see Adieu Berthe (which I missed in Cannes!), Two Lovers, Guilty of Romance, The Chaser, and The Good, the Bad, the Weird. But we can chat about all that over a frenzied drink next month!

Okay... going over Chien's list...

I've only ever seen 31 of them. Two of them are the Studio Ghibli films that I barely remember, and I do fondly remember Oldboy and The Host

Many of the films are ones I either hated (Pineapple Express, Interstellar, Children of Men), or saw once and will likely not revisit anytime soon (Primer, Valhalla Rising, Benjamin Button).

What was left, though, was high-quality stuff. I love that you included Tintin and Arrival, and there were six films that our lists shared, which is honestly more than I expected, given how disparate our film tastes are.

Chien:
This may shock you, but my uncultured ass hasn't seen a lot of the films on your list ;) . I'm planning on putting a stop to my ignorance by using yours and six's lists as a guide to start tackling more foreign cinema in the near future (especially the Korean stuff). Of the films I actually saw, your list was kind of all over the place for me on the whole. You had everything from films that ranked highly on my list (Donnie Darko, Black Swan, Gran Torino) to some of my least favorite films of all-time (The Tree of Life, Mullholland Drive, Royal Tennenbaums) to films I respect, but didn't really enjoy (There Will Be Blood, Assassination of Jesse James, Eternal Sunshine). Overall I've seen 41 films from your list and we had 5 overlaps.

40 year-old virgin : A sweet and funny comedy, Apatow's best.

Nope, Amelie was in my Top 5, but it wasn't my #1 (I'm as lazy as you to go see where it as exactly, but I'd say it was #3 or 4 in my all-time Top 100).

It was on my To See list for years, until this Christmas I just bought the DVD for something like €5. This year I watched it, and boy was I impressed. A detective story, one full of frustration and corruption, with dashes of bizarre humour. It's a superb film, and if I had seen it sooner it would certainly have appeared in my own Top 100.
Glad I made you discover this gem of a film, Six ;)

I hope you'll love them, they are not as immense as Memories of Murder, but they are all great films. Glad you liked Aquarius too.

You are probably right, it is true are tastes are more than often vastly different !

I have a bit of catching up to do

JOHNERLE The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) - Fantastic movie. see previous comments.

NUMBERSIX In the Mood for Love (2000) – Still havent seen

RON BURGUNDYMad Max: Fury Road (2015) - Its on Netflix now, so i'll give it another go once i have a chance

SHRYKESPEARE Lord of the Rings (2000-03) - See comments previous and further below

SURFERBlack Swan (2010) - It was fine, but didnt impress me as much as you obviously

UNDEADMONKEY Signs (2002) - Before Signs, i had never seen a movie that enthralled and completely engrossed me the way this did. The atmosphere, the characters slowly being revealed against this great mystery. The aliens aren't the point of the movie, it's about the choices we make and the consequences they have. Gibson and Phoenix were phenomenal in their roles.

W 28 Days Later... (2002) - Was on my list, fantastic movie.

Typing this on phone. Painfully tedious...

Anyways heres my quick thoughts on #7, #6 & #5

BANKS
Up in the Air - didn't think it was very good. Almost shocked to see it up so high
Shaun of the Dead - mentioned that I like Hot Fuzz much more but this is still above average
Her - another surprise in terms of placement. I should re-watch this

BOOSH
Mystic River - watched this last year. I liked it far more than I remembered.
Mud - very high up. It's certainly good. Great performances by the two leads.
The Tree of Life - actually saw this just over a week ago thanks to those who had it in their top. I have very mixed feelings. Such a grand scope but it lacks cohesion in its final message. Perhaps I'll appreciate it more next time. Also has some excellent visuals

CHIEN
Eternal Sunshine - incase you hadn't noticed last year was a year of discovery and increased appreciation. This one fell in both categories as I just don't remember the first viewing, funny that ay ;) it was a real treat, nearly made my list.
On the occasional.... - so the 3 Korean films I watched the other day weren't this (they were: JSA, Sympathy for Mr vengeance & The Chaser) but I know this film MUST be even better than those so I'll strive to watch this asap.
The Host - very good genre mixing with humour and heart.

J-ERLE
Take shelter - I am starting to forget why exactly I liked this so much, I think it was that planting of the seed of doubt
The return of the King - simply a stunning end to a glorious trilogy, and yes, I read the books first.
Wall-E - niiiiiiice pick mate :)

SIX
The 40 year old - it's good, just didn't quite hit me as well as it did you.
In the Mood - bah, been on WL for years, this is the year I see It finally
Crouching tiger- what a surprise. I held off seeing this for years. When I did, it was terrific! Good choice

SHRYKON
Dodge ball - Sooo funny. Ben stiller at his best.
LOTR - hardly a boring moment across 10 hours
Wall-E - yeeeeesss

SURFER
Mulholland Drive - on my list
Black Swan - not on my list
TDK - my No. 2!

TRANNY
super bad - I did LOL a fair bit when this came out
Django - awesome, so glad it wasn't a Will Smith movie in the end, I bet he wished he played the part here in hindsight
Memento - on me list

UDM
Spidey 2 - it was ok
Signs - I probably liked this more than I should have
HP 6- can't remember much about it

W
City of god - terrific
28 days - excellent
Guardians - can't wait to see sly in the sequel in a cameo

This is embarrassing. I thought Six was posting it on my behalf, seeing how I sent it to him. I apologize for the delay.

Anyway, my #1.

WALL-E

In the distant future, Earth has become a wasteland of garbage that has long been abandoned by humankind. The world is barren and used. No hope exists for a renewed existence. Except for one robot. The Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth Class, or WALL-E, has spent 700 years going about his job while spending his free time finding interesting items among the rubble and obsessively watching a VHS copy of Hello, Dolly. Through these activities, Wall-E has learned sentience and has begun to realize how lonely he has become. Wall-E seeks love.

One day, another robot, the Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evalutator, or EVE, has arrived on a routine mission seeking new life. As it turns out, WALL-E has what she's looking for: a plant. However, WALL-E has other ideas. The expedition is a success but the story is only beginning.

Andrew Stanton and company spent 16 years between development and release (this includes the five years of active production) to get this film made. Ever the perfectionist, Stanton was still working on elements of the story three months before the opening to make sure WALL-E's journey from worker bot to savior of Earth was as flawless as possible. Much of the film's beauty is its use of images and physical humor to tell the story. Heavily influenced by the silent comedy greats Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, WALL-E is as much a great romantic comedy as it is a sprawling space opera. It's hard not to find amusement out of the little guy's adventures (unless you're one of those people who tried to claim the film had a political agenda). The film also wisely avoids celebrity stunt casting like so many animated films nowadays do. Instead, the voices of the three main characters (the third character is Microbe-Obliterator, or M-O), along with most of the sound effects, were mostly created by film sound legend Ben Burtt. Burtt creates a new world that haven't been heard by audiences before and without Burtt's efforts, it wouldn't be the same movie.

The themes also have an universal appeal. It's a comedy, an adventure film, a sci-fi movie, a story of an unlikely hero's journey, and a tale of the corporate world's destruction of civilization and the fight to resurrect it. But most importantly, it's a love story. After June 27th, 2008, cinema would never quite be the same again.

Everything on this post is strictly the opinion and only the opinion of Buscemi.

Re: Fantaverse Top 100 Movies of the New Millennium (2000-)

Ah, I forgot that you had sent me your #1! Thought you wanted to post yourself for the glory ;)

I really enjoyed Wall-E. I've only seen it once, and really should give it another go, but I really respected how the film managed to be essentially a silent film for the first half. The second half didn't quite grip me, and its environmentalist message was a bit too on the nose, but I see that as something to inspire kids rather than cynical adults like me ;). The animation was beautiful too.

You had quite an impressive list, Boosch. Even though you only had 50 films instead of 1000, we had a good amount of crossover picks, 9 in total. You were the only other person to include the melancholic animation Waltz with Bashir and the beautiful The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. And lots of Tarantino, which is always good to see.
I've seen everything but three films from your list. I'm not that interested in Life Itself or De Palma (I need to watch more of his films before I watch a doc about him), but Far From Heaven is definitely a priority.

I would have done 100 (with paragraphs) but I don't have all my lists from this century on file (and sorting through my IMDb ratings would take too long) and I was working on that screenplay (in fact, I'm already beginning work on the next one).

As for 1,000, I could do it but it would take months to compile (and I would have some controversial choices in the middle).
Everything on this post is strictly the opinion and only the opinion of Buscemi.
