The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> article got me thinking.\u00a0 I decided to list my Top 50 movies for the 21st century.\u00a0 It was harder than expected.\u00a0 They are listed in alpha order after giving the top spots (again in alpha order to the Sly Stallone films that I included).\u00a0 Any surprises?\u00a0 Any great films that I missed?\u00a0 Take a look and let me know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
