If the list is not a model of representational balance, call us out - we can take it - but also continue to call out an industry that hasn’t given us a more diverse landscape of voices to love, hate and argue over. (Remember, it’s only 50!) The final list is a reflection of that love, but also of a system that favors certain stories and storytellers at the expense of others.

What are we missing? Who are we leaving out? Why this movie and not that one? We know certain omissions and selections are bound to incite eye rolls, grumbles and maybe a shriek or two.īut we tried to stay true to our love of movies, these movies, and others that didn’t make the cut. That doesn’t mean we weren’t plagued by doubts along the way. We wanted our list to reflect the breadth of world cinema and of our tastes, but we also didn’t want to placate or pander or allow fear of Film Twitter or Outrage Twitter (or any Twitter) to weigh on our process. Picking the movies we love the most, while being mindful of variety and inclusivity, significance and staying power, was difficult (we know: world’s smallest violin). And we did not consider anything from 2022 it just felt too soon (translation: after the forever-long awards season, we needed a breather from talking about Tár, Everything Everywhere All at Once and the rest of ’em). Our only parameters: All six of us had to love, like or at least respect every film on the list. Countless emails and a few long Zoom meetings later, we had our list. We tallied up the points, and then hashed it out from there. The films with the most yeas - about 80 - advanced to the next round. Everyone voted “yea” or “nay” on each of those titles. In the spirit of transparency, our methodology went something like this: We all offered up titles we thought were worthy of consideration (an initial list of well over 100 movies). We thought it as good a time as any to look back at the films that have, to us, stood the ever-unfolding test of time. But we’ve arguably already lived through 100 years’ worth of upheaval, progress, pain, destruction, hope and heartache in the world - not to mention the film industry - since 2000. Sure, we’ve yet to hit the quarter-century mark, when these sorts of lists tend to start landing.
