Everyone has an opinion, though 500 actors and directors shared their own for a new list to declare the 100 best films of the 21st century (so far). With 25 years of releases to pick from, the options were plentiful, but the horror movie that ranked above all others in the genre was an 8-year-old hit that earned widespread acclaim at the time of its release. <\/p>\n

On the list, published by The New York Times<\/a>, Jordan Peele’s Get Out<\/a> landed in the No. 8 spot for the overall best movies of the last 25 years. This was the highest of any horror movie, though there were some other genre films that made the list, including the sci-fi horror flick Under the Skin (No. 69), the horror romance movie Let the Right One In (No. 70), and Darren Aronofsky’s psychological horror film Black Swan (No. 81).<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe Plot Twist in Get Out, Explained
\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

Jordan Peele’s Get Out is a horror movie that became an instant classic, even though its many twists and turns are hard to grasp on first watch.<\/p>\n

Get Out was the first horror movie from writer-director Jordan Peele. Its success may have been seen as surprising at the time, as Peele was best known for his sketch comedy work. Get Out was a tremendous hit, however, even winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, among many other awards. It was also a huge hit at the box office<\/a>, earning over $255 million with a small budget of less than $5 million. Of course, that established Peele instantly as a major force in the world of horror, and he has since released two other genre films: Us and Nope.<\/p>\n

Get Out stars Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) as a young Black man who goes to meet the family of his white girlfriend (Allison Williams, M3GAN 2.0<\/a>), unprepared for the dark secrets about them that he’s soon to discover. The film also starred Bradley Whitford, Caleb Landry Jones, Stephen Root, LaKeith Stanfield, Catherine Keener, Lil Rel Howery, and Erika Alexander.<\/p>\n

Blumhouse is one of the most popular horror movie studios working today and has greatly contributed to the genre by making profit at the box office.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing the darkness of my imagination, there were so many ways this movie could go wrong,\u201d Peele told the L.A. Times<\/a> at the time about where the idea for Get Out came from. \u201cI thought, \u2018What if white people don\u2019t want to come see the movie because they\u2019re afraid of being villain-ized with black people in the crowd? What if black people don\u2019t want to see the movie because they don\u2019t want to sit next to a white person while a black person is being victimized on-screen?\u2019 All those questions were in my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parasite Led The New York Times’ Top 100 List<\/p>\n

Bong Joon Ho’s black comedy thriller Parasite was the film that topped the list. Other films that ranked ahead of Get Out include Mulholland Drive, There Will Be Blood, In the Mood for Love, Moonlight, No Country for Old Men, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Spirited Away and The Social Network rounded out the top ten.<\/p>\n

Get Out is streaming for free (with ad support) on Tubi; it is also available on Peacock for subscribers.<\/p>\n
