Hi everybody — We worked on NYT’s 100 best movies of the 21st century list, and asked over 500 stars and filmmakers in Hollywood and around the world to vote for their 10 favorite movies released since Jan. 1, 2000. We just published a separate list of our readers’ top 100 picks, though you can still make your own ballots here for fun. There is also a movie-ranking quiz, where you can pick which movie is better than the other. If you need help finding a movie to watch, we have a guide with some starting points. From Kyle: Hey! I’m Kyle Buchanan and I serve as The Projectionist, the awards season columnist for The New York Times. I cover the movie industry and pop culture for the Times, reporting from film festivals like Cannes and Venice and writing profiles of major movie stars including Daniel Craig, Jennifer Lawrence, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. I also wrote the best-selling book “Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road,” and would like to note that even though George Miller’s action masterpiece placed at #11 on our list, I personally think it should have been even higher. From Leah: Hi there, I’m Leah Greenblatt! I write primarily about movies and books for The Times, covering everything from the return of the raunchy sex comedy to classic celebrity profiles (like Michael Keaton reprising his role in “Beetlejuice” last year.) More recently, I dug into how they pulled off that wild plane stunt in the latest “Mission Impossible” and why we can’t seem to get enough of stories about cults (And also, Joni Mitchell). This is my second time working on a major NYT culture list: I helped put together the 100 best books of the 21st century, which some of our readers are still debating more than a year later. I love the conversations that these lists lead to, and what they can tell us about ourselves. All of these links are available for free, even without an NYT subscription. We’ll answer questions from 3-4:30 p.m. ET. Ask us anything about how the list came to be. submitted by /u/thenewyorktimes |
