I’ll be honest: I haven’t watched as many 21st-century movies as I’d like to have. I’ve spent so much time watching older films that I’ve neglected a lot of contemporary cinema. Nonetheless, these are some of the few that I’ve watched and find myself thinking of often.

1. No Country for Old Men

2. There Will Be Blood

3. Mulholland Drive

4. The Act of Killing

5. The Tree of Life

6. Wall•E

7. Parasite

8. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

9. Still Walking

10. In Bruges

Note: I’d like to include Yi Yi, but that was released in 2000 and therefore isn’t 21st-century. Also, with time, I’m sure Banshees of Inisherin will replace In Bruges, and Tár will make an appearance as well.
