THR'S BEST 50 MOVIES OF THE 21ST CENTURY
The Hollywood Reporter's gaggle of critics published their list of the 50 best films of the 2000's late last week and, to no one's surprise...there was some disagreement. I, for one, was mystified that Paul Thomas Anderson's There will Be Blood merited only an honorable mention and The Master was nowhere to be found. Also, the Coen Brothers' No Country for Old Men...not a peep. Still, looking at the 50 films plus the honorable mention, TFF has been a launching pad for a bunch of THR's choices.
Among honorable mentions from TFF: Cache, L'Enfant, Under the Skin and Waltz with Bashir.
TFF films in the list of 50:
47-Bright Star
44-Things to Come
35-The Favourite
33-Portrait of a Lady on Fire
31-Manchester by the Sea
21-Parasite
20-Far from Heaven
18-Shoplifters
17-Talk to Her
15-The Power of the Dog
12-Moonlight
9-4 Months, Three Weeks and Two Days
7-Brokeback Mountain
6-Spirited Away
5-Mulholland Drive
4-Zodiac
2-Inside Llewyn Davis
1-Yi Yi
ONE MORE GUESS AT CANNES
Cineuropa has a post up as of last Thursday with an extensive list of potential titles at Cannes. Many of what not seem to be the usual suspects are there which also provides many of the same titles that I am eyeballing as possible Cannes/Telluride crossover films. Among them:
Monster/Kore-eda
Fallen Leaves/Kaurismaki
Poor Things/Lanthimos
The Holdovers/Payne
May/December/Haynes
The New Boy/Thornton
The Bikeriders/Nichols
The Captain/Garrone
Daaaaaali!/Dupieux
Ricardo et la Peinture/Schroeder
Will have actual Cannes titles for my next post on April 13th.
