"People have been asking me so I thought I might as well join (or crash) the party initiated by The New York Times last week and put in my two cents regarding the 25 Best Films of the 21st Century (so far). I don’t see “everything” anymore and I haven’t been to Cannes since 2011 still there’s nothing that even a recovering film critic likes better than a list.

My single “best” film-object (1) is followed by a list of 11 filmmakers and one academic production company (in order of “best-ness”) responsible for two or more “best films,” (2-28) these followed by another eight individual movies (again in order) (29-37) and finally four more tentatively advanced films (these alphabetical) (38-41). I’m sure I’m forgetting some but that’s the nature of the beast—or best." - J. Hoberman.
