Granted, I don't see as many movies as I used to, but I have always followed movies... There is a stunning number on that list that not only have I not seen, but that I've never even heard of.

Also, beware of any list by a critic who still feels the need to applaud Harmony Korine movies...
Spring Breakers was just dreadful.

I do like the Fury Road pick for No. 1... Of the movies listed, the two best that I've seen would probably be that or Winter's Bone.

I would probably pick "The Florida Project" and "Whiplash."
I know that people are tired of the MCU and superhero movies, but "Endgame" seems like a trolling omission, no? Or at least "Black Panther"?
There's a bunch on there I've been meaning to see, but I've been up to my neck in kid-friendly movies for a while now. Wife and I usually watch TV shows, when we watch things together.

Don’t need to read any further to know it’s complete bullshit.

Don’t need to read any further to know it’s complete bullshit. I liked it, but I also don't know that critics are enamored of historical dramas to the degree that the movie-going population at large is.

Well, critics being out of touch is nothing new, but 12 Years a Slave is a masterpiece and there’s no chance there were 66 better films this decade.
I completely understand that it’s not a “fun” watch. That probably had way more to do with its ranking.

I completely understand that it’s not a “fun” watch. That probably had way more to do with its ranking. I don't think that's it. There are a lot of movies on there that aren't "fun watches." "The Florida Project" isn't really a fun watch, at least the parts that don't just portray kids being kids. I've heard that "Manchester by the Sea" is not a fun watch. I respect critics more than most people, because I've listened to a lot of movie podcasts, read their in-depth writing on movies, etc. I think that "12 Years a Slave" is good. But it's not necessarily ... hmmmmm ... capital "A" art. It's like "Lincoln." It's a history lesson.

I think "Black Swan" should have been on the list.
I was happy to see "Melancholia" on it. Happy to see "It Follows." Happy to see "Eighth Grade." Happy to see "The Florida Project" ranked as highly as it is.

The Witch was a good horror film. There are several horror films on the list. ("Black Swan" would have been another, in my opinion, had it been included.) It's definitely a genre that took a huge leap into respectability this decade, as talented film makers realized the potential it held.

There’s no rationalization for leaving Black Swan off the list, either.

Mad Max: Fury Road I don't have time to scroll through 100 movies today, but about this subset: Glad to see 'Tree of Life' up very high. Brilliant work that didn't seem to get the critical acclaim it deserved when it first came out. Brilliant. Also very glad to see 'Under the Skin' so. I absolutely loved that movie. Again, brilliant work. 'The Social Network' is so over-rated and will fall in people's estimation over time. I liked 'Mad Max: Fury Road' but I don't get how much acclaim it gets. Great movie yet still over-rated. 'Moonrise Kingdom' > 'Grand Budapest Hotel' I really liked 'Lady Bird' but there seems to be some recency bias in play with that ranking. 'Melancholia' is a pile trite, self-important feces.
