The Hollywood Reporter article got me thinking. I decided to list my Top 50 movies for the 21st century. It was harder than expected. They are listed in alpha order after giving the top spots (again in alpha order to the Sly Stallone films that I included). Any surprises? Any great films that I missed? Take a look and let me know.
