Here is how their ballots stacked up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Every generation gets its defining teen comedy. For the 21st century, that\u2019s \u201cSuperbad.\u201d The script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg \u2014 about pals named Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) trying to get laid before they graduate high school \u2014 is both hilariously profane and surreptitiously sweet. The director Greg Mottola took the antics and elevated them with retro opening titles and an uproarious sequence involving phallic cartoons. But \u201cSuperbad\u201d is also a feat of casting, introducing moviegoers to the talents of Hill, Cera and Emma Stone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Julianne Moore<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See her full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#julianne-moore\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/xyljoou0y9.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Superbad by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">The first clue that this Korean police procedural isn\u2019t bound by Hollywood genre conventions comes in the opening moments: A detective (played by Song Kang Ho) summoned to investigate a dead body in a rural outpost arrives by hitching a ride on a plodding tractor. The grim laughs continue when other hapless investigators fall quite literally into the crime scene. The director Bong Joon Ho has strong ideas about the limits of men facing unfathomable evil, and he explores them with his hallmark mix of unexpected humor and sharply observed drama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote svelte-d4cqw\"> \u201cI\u2019ve seen that movie at least 20 times and it hits me differently every single time. I remember being frightened, laughing, crying and holding my breath. And it may have the greatest ending, in my opinion, of any film.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"person svelte-d4cqw\"><strong>Charles Melton, actor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-d4cqw\">See his ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#charles-melton\" class=\"svelte-d4cqw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/fb936e9424.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Memories of Murder by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">It would be easy to assume that this Werner Herzog documentary about Timothy Treadwell, who spent many summers cohabitating with Alaska\u2019s brown bears, would skew educational. But Treadwell wasn\u2019t an expert in the traditional sense, and this film is more about a man grappling with his place in the world. Treadwell left behind hours of self-recorded videos, and his camera\u2019s microphone was on when he and his girlfriend were mauled to death in 2003. We watch Herzog listen to those moments, making it the most haunting audio you\u2019ll never hear.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/da2wdaridd.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Grizzly Man by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n\u2019s action film is one of the 21st century\u2019s greatest thrill rides, a real-time survival story about an abandoned astronaut (Sandra Bullock) who must find her way back to Earth while confronting the trauma she has long suppressed. With groundbreaking special effects that outshine most recent releases, Cuar\u00f3n crafts a suspenseful story that suggests the true terror of being lost in space isn\u2019t the prospect of certain death \u2014 it\u2019s being alone with your thoughts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Edgar Wright<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See his full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#edgar-wright\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/820aon2r53.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Gravity by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">There\u2019s so much to love. It\u2019s a superhero spectacle that actually has something important to say, about how identity, history and responsibility intersect. Wakanda, the Afrofuturistic world where the story takes place, is a visual wonder. The women (played by Angela Bassett, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong\u2019o and Letitia Wright \u2014 all excellent) aren\u2019t just sidekicks or love interests. Michael B. Jordan, as the tragically villainous Killmonger, has never been more swoon worthy. And, of course, Chadwick Boseman shines in the title role, sadly one of his last before dying of cancer.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/htxkw0dioh.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Black Panther by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">At first, Julie (Renate Reinsve) may strike you as a dilettante. An Oslo college student, she changes majors like outfits; later, in her 20s, she dates tetchy Aksel (Anders Danielsen Lie) while fantasizing about a life spent with the simpler Eivind (Herbert Nordrum). But this empathetic dramedy from Joachim Trier never judges Julie for her indecision, since a life lived robustly is bound to include some detours. How are you supposed to find yourself without looking everywhere first?<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/8o2ghg6y0u.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for The Worst Person in the World by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">The image of a nearly bald Samantha Morton shouting \u201cRun!\u201d is just one reason Steven Spielberg\u2019s Philip K. Dick adaptation is still haunting. In this dystopia, crime is stopped before it happens thanks to the foresight of human \u201cprecogs\u201d like Morton\u2019s character. Tom Cruise is appropriately on edge as a falsely accused police officer, infusing a deep sadness into his actions as he draws closer to the center of a huge conspiracy. A gnawing agony powers Spielberg\u2019s noir in which color has almost been drained from the world.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/baa8d6ofuw.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Minority Report by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">\u201cI\u2019m not a miracle worker, I\u2019m a janitor,\u201d Michael Clayton tells a disgruntled client of the law firm he works for. George Clooney, in his finest performance, delivers the line with a mixture of seen-it-all bitterness and intelligence. His character is nominally an attorney, but really he\u2019s a fixer trying to undo the damage after a colleague (Tom Wilkinson, at his absolute best) goes off his meds and finds his moral compass. What that does to Clayton\u2019s conscience is the crux of the writer-director Tony Gilroy\u2019s gripping thriller.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote svelte-d4cqw\">\u201c\u2018Michael Clayton\u2019 is the perfect David vs. Goliath story. All the plot points are given to you in the very beginning, but you as an audience member have to put the puzzle pieces together. And that is a really exciting way of making things tangible and entertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"person svelte-d4cqw\"><strong>Arian Moayed, actor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-d4cqw\">See  ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#arian-moayed\" class=\"svelte-d4cqw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/vktq9nprkm.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Michael Clayton by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Sword-and-sandal epics were long out of fashion when Ridley Scott charged in with this exciting drama full of intrigue and action. It helped that he had Russell Crowe, as the honorable soldier out for vengeance, working at the height of his artistry and a fresh, unaffected Joaquin Phoenix as the emperor longing to be beloved. The film set off a mini-resurgence in the genre, but none of the imitators understood that spectacle needs heart to match. That\u2019s what made \u201cGladiator\u201d so gripping.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Nicholas Sparks<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See his full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#nicholas-sparks\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/dl1xb1niq3.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Gladiator by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Few movies about adolescent girls are quite this raw or daring. Andrea Arnold\u2019s story concerns a girl (Katie Jarvis) who desperately wants to be a hip-hop dancer, a pursuit her mother\u2019s new boyfriend (Michael Fassbender) encourages. But really the film is about her awakening passions, sexual and familial and more, and the ways in which this seemingly tough girl is achingly vulnerable. It\u2019s fearless and electric, one of Arnold\u2019s finest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Lena Dunham<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See her full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#lena-dunham\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/dk2or5ytmu.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Fish Tank by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Before Greta Gerwig struck out on her own to make \u201cLady Bird,\u201d the first sign of her ascension was \u201cFrances Ha,\u201d which she co-wrote with the director Noah Baumbach. Gerwig also stars as Frances, a woman in her late 20s who is holding onto her youth in a way that is both irrepressibly joyful and deeply immature. Shot in nostalgic black and white, \u201cFrances Ha\u201d is a character study that captures the moment adulthood takes hold.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Mike Birbiglia<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See his full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#mike-birbiglia\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/jcaqnwagq5.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Frances Ha by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">The plot of Christopher Nolan\u2019s dazzling, ambitious space epic is a puzzle that even today remains mind-bending, mirroring how little we understand about where we are in the universe and why we exist. At its center is Matthew McConaughey as a widower who leaves behind his children, father-in-law and an Earth ravaged by climate change to join a NASA team trying to find a new planet. For all the far-off horizons, the movie is at its best exploring the precarious yet seductive concept of home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Simu Liu<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See his full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#simu-liu\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/rj4lrgf7ym.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Interstellar by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">The \u201cI\u201d is Agn\u00e8s Varda, the pioneering filmmaker who helped kick-start the French new wave. With an intimate voice-over and hand-held digital camera, Varda travels throughout France to consider the personal and political identity of gleaners, people who traditionally collected grain left in fields after harvest. The result is a profound, uncommonly tender and searchingly philosophical dream of what it could mean to live in the world \u2014 take only what you need, share everything you have \u2014 that is itself a tour de force of cinematic gleaning.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/685671d1d9.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for The Gleaners &amp; I by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">With the first installment of his \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d trilogy, Peter Jackson did the almost impossible: He brought J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s Middle-earth to life in the hills of New Zealand, appealing to longtime fans and newcomers who might be wary of the jargon about elves and orcs. The film set a new bar for fantasy blockbusters with makeup and effects that still hold up, and set pieces that are immersive and occasionally terrifying. As soon as Howard Shore\u2019s score kicks in, it\u2019s hard not to feel transported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Tony Hale<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See his full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#tony-hale\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/n71sjfi4ba.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">The opening scene of Celine Song\u2019s debut feature beguiles you: Late at night in a New York bar, a woman (played by Greta Lee) is seated between two men (Teo Yoo and John Magaro) and it\u2019s unclear who they are to one another. The closing scene with the same three people, filmed in one take on a sidewalk, may well shatter your heart. In between, Song\u2019s story unfolds in New York City and Seoul and is filled with exquisite reflections on time, love, fate and reinvention.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/yeeo62p41d.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Past Lives by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">The endless one-liners, the absurd set pieces, the big dumb sexist lunk of an anchorman played with just the right amount of lunacy by Will Ferrell, at arguably his best \u2014 this comedy is the perfect antidote to whatever ails you. Does the story make sense? Not really. Does that matter? No. You\u2019re there for the jokes, the rumble between rival news teams and the sense that cast members had the time of their lives making this movie. Plus now we all know \u201cSan Diago\u201d means \u201ca whale\u2019s vagina\u201d in German.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/qjxtck4qvv.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Lars von Trier\u2019s \u201cMelancholia\u201d is here to bum you out in ways both breathtaking and contemplative. Kirsten Dunst stars as a bride who is falling apart, all the better to match the state of the world, which just might be about to collide with a rogue planet. When it comes to bleak and brutal, von Trier does it best, yet the Danish auteur somehow manages to make total annihilation a thing of beauty in the process.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cwn10tts3u.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Melancholia by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">The Coen brothers dug into the 1960s folk scene by focusing on one of its losers. The title character, played by a breakout Oscar Isaac, is a sad sack, mourning the loss of his musical partner, and a jerk, prone to taking advantage of supposed friends. Llewyn\u2019s music is good, but not Bob Dylan good. This makes the movie one of the quintessential works of art about being an artist on the outside of greatness. The irony that the film itself is great is just the kind of karma Llewyn deserves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Rachel Zegler<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See her full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#rachel-zegler\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ntl6oc3afn.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Inside Llewyn Davis by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Joshua Oppenheimer\u2019s documentary masterpiece concerns the perpetrators of the Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66. Really, though, the subject is the incredible capacity of the human mind to compartmentalize and rationalize monstrous acts of cruelty toward other people. The way Oppenheimer goes about it makes for a movie that plays like psychological horror \u2014 all the more petrifying because it is nonfiction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote svelte-d4cqw\"> \u201cWhat Joshua Oppenheimer achieves is a completely profound meditation on guilt. The human cost on the people themselves who did these killings is so fascinating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"person svelte-d4cqw\"><strong>Chiwetel Ejiofor, actor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-d4cqw\">See his ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#chiwetel-ejiofor\" class=\"svelte-d4cqw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ww6jrt06ai.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for The Act of Killing by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Where is the line between the drive for perfection and unhealthy obsession? Natalie Portman took home the best actress Oscar for her role as Nina, a ballerina whose competition with a rival (Mila Kunis) for the lead role in \u201cSwan Lake\u201d pushes her into madness. The director Darren Aronofsky ratchets up the tension and disorientation in this psychological thriller until our heads are spinning along with the dancers. The scenes depicting Nina\u2019s hallucinations infuse body horror with an unforgettable dark grandeur.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/gdd9yolegi.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Black Swan by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Death, resurrection, family bonds and an electrifying performance by Pen\u00e9lope Cruz make up this gem of a drama from Pedro Almod\u00f3var. Multiple generations of women show resolve as they navigate obstacle after obstacle. It\u2019s an empowering work, dripping with beauty and passion (as so many of Almod\u00f3var\u2019s films are), and sprinkled with a dash of magical realism that opens up its narrative to new realms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Pamela Anderson<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See her full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#pamela-anderson\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/daq0t15a4g.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Volver by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">There\u2019s ambitious subject matter and then there\u2019s Terrence Malick\u2019s Palme d\u2019Or-winning \u201cThe Tree of Life,\u201d which tries to wrap its arms around all of creation. A meditation on memory and loss, this impressionistic film loosely follows a suburban family in 1950s Texas and a troubled son (Sean Penn) decades later. But in its audacious \u201chistory of the universe\u201d sequence, the movie searches for the meaning of one human life by examining the violent, beautiful, mysterious origins of life itself.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/vtvhxo2lk5.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for The Tree of Life by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Watching this quietly devastating feature debut from Charlotte Wells, it feels as if you\u2019re seeing someone\u2019s home movies \u2014 even in the scenes that aren\u2019t shot to look like camcorder footage of a father and daughter\u2019s Turkish vacation. The perfectly tuned performances by the young newcomer Frankie Corio and a breakout Paul Mescal (who was nominated for a best actor Oscar) add to the intimate realism. When hints of darkness seep into their sun-dappled trip, and it becomes clear their time together is in the past tense, it\u2019s heartbreaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote svelte-d4cqw\"> \u201cOne of the really powerful things to me, as a producer on this, is how much Charlotte believed in this story and these performances to communicate this really deep feeling that she had from her childhood with her father.

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert\u2019s wildly inventive movie might have you asking this, and so many other questions you never thought you would contemplate.

In dusty Depression-era Mississippi, three dimwitted escaped convicts take off on a treasure hunt. A whimsical, rollicking ride ensues, but it\u2019s the filmmakers\u2019 use of Americana music including gospel, Delta blues and bluegrass that elevates this quest into an allegory about freedom, forgiveness, hope and the many ways we are inherently flawed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote svelte-d4cqw\"> \u201cIt\u2019s gotta be George Clooney \u2014 his elasticity, his voice, his optimism, just everything about that performance.

Drawing on the audience\u2019s memories of his octogenarian stars, Jean-Louis Trintignant (\u201cThe Conformist\u201d) and Emmanuelle Riva (\u201cHiroshima Mon Amour\u201d), Haneke cast them as Georges and Anne, married former music teachers.

Moonee, age 6 (Brooklynn Prince), runs riot at a tawdry motel near Disney World. You alternately want to squeeze her with joy and put her in a long timeout, and that\u2019s the point: She\u2019s a kid, effervescently so. The film draws power from an unspoken tension (this existence is unlikely to end well) and the way a magical fantasy world \u2014 manufactured and marketed by Disney \u2014 sits just out of her reach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Mikey Madison<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See her full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#mikey-madison\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2wefdg6kxt.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for The Florida Project by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">A cartoon rodent, a Paris backdrop, an underdog (OK, under-rat) story: It\u2019s the setup for many animated tales. But there\u2019s a difference between rehashing the same-old and elevating a classic, much like the trajectory of this movie\u2019s titular dish. Remy, a country rat with a sophisticated palate and a belief in himself, heads to the city to make his culinary dreams come true \u2014 setting off an enchanting, witty and touching adventure. Its lessons about reigniting our passions, even when they have long turned to drudgery, linger well after the feast.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0kg79o37uw.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Ratatouille by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">You could call it the lesbian \u201cBrokeback Mountain\u201d \u2014 a moving same-sex love story with big stars (Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara), unpolitical except that it exists, set in a time (in this case, the 1950s) when gay people survived through self-imprisonment (notice how the motel blinds in \u201cCarol\u201d cast prison-bar shadows). \u201cCarol,\u201d however, ends on a slightly happier note. Blanchett\u2019s high-society mother must relinquish custody of her beloved daughter, but she\u2019s at least no longer fearful of her sexuality. Mara\u2019s young photographer says it aloud at the end: \u201cI\u2019m not afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4rydc3t79p.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Carol by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Star power has never been more glittery than in Steven Soderbergh\u2019s remake of the 1960 Rat Pack heist picture. This version pairs George Clooney at his most suave with an impish, spiky-haired Brad Pitt for a romp that keeps tension high while remaining impeccably sleek and stylish. Each member of Danny Ocean\u2019s team is an utter delight, including Elliott Gould in oversize glasses and Don Cheadle with a British accent. And Soderbergh gives Las Vegas a dreamy aura that matches the celebrities onscreen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Joel Kim Booster<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See his full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#joel-kim-booster\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/0w6iidm2z6.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Ocean\u2019s Eleven by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">This one is for the outcasts. Unfolding for the most part with a chilly sense of calm, Tomas Alfredson\u2019s drama follows a friendship between a detached boy, Oskar (Kare Hedebrant), and his offbeat neighbor, Eli (Lina Leandersson), who just might be a vampire. The film is tempered, bloody when it needs to be, but sympathetic to the challenges of its lead characters and generous in how it portrays their connection as it pushes the vampire movie in fresh directions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"on-name svelte-1b8tiq7\">Voted for by Jemaine Clement<\/p>\n<p class=\"ballot-link svelte-1b8tiq7\">See his full ballot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/movies\/votes-movies-21st-century.html#jemaine-clement\" class=\"svelte-1b8tiq7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/xu2cc23mdh.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Let the Right One In by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">What a haunting head trip Jonathan Glazer delivers in this electrifying thriller. Scarlett Johansson plays an alien with a come-hither stare that makes men shed their clothes and follow her into a liquid void. The imagery is hypnotizing and disturbing at once. It\u2019s a lyrical slow burn, with a score by Mica Levi that ratchets up the dread. And Johansson\u2019s commanding presence just might make you follow her into that void as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote svelte-d4cqw\"> \u201cIt\u2019s just a genuine vision.

Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the best director Oscar for this nerve-shredding film about a U.S. ordnance team in Iraq.

Cate Blanchett plays Lydia T\u00e1r, a virtuosic conductor with perfectly tailored shirts and a hubristic streak that is both her greatest asset and her ultimate downfall. The trick of \u201cT\u00e1r\u201d is that Field and Blanchett so meticulously craft Lydia that it\u2019s occasionally hard to remember she\u2019s not a real person.

This best picture Oscar winner was beloved precisely because it lacked the big speeches and exploitative flashbacks that often accompany newspaper dramas and instead committed itself to the unglamorous details of an often unglamorous job.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/nguq4rtxoc.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Spotlight by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">The father of the atomic bomb, and thus of our apocalyptic age, provides the director Christopher Nolan an ideal subject for his magnum opus.

Written by Gillian Flynn, author of the best-selling novel on which it\u2019s based, the movie gives contradictory accounts of the marriage between urbane Amy and Midwestern Nick, played with pitch-perfect precision by Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck, and keeps us guessing over who is the hero and who is the villain.

They all pile into a VW bus to give 7-year-old Olive (Abigail Breslin) the chance to win a child beauty pageant.

The disjointed narrative gives us a taste of what life is like for Leonard (Guy Pearce), who can\u2019t store short-term memories and who tattoos his body with clues about his wife\u2019s murder. It\u2019s a clever puzzle, but what makes \u201cMemento\u201d unforgettable is what it says about identity and the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, right up to its rug-pull of an ending \u2014 er, beginning.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ugwq1ddjtc.jpg\" alt=\"movie cover for Memento by \" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"svelte-1etx5n9\"\/>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-loylu8\">Never before have shootings, stabbings, beatings, beheadings, disembowelings, amputations, mutilations, gougings, slicings, choppings and bitings been so much campy fun.
