Funny how both Leo movies #20 in the lists 😄

[BarbieErin]

Where is Shutter Island and Once Upon a time in Hollywood? Plus, The Revenant should be much higher...

[Sliva]

Stupid lists, who cares about them.

[Jade Bahr]

Pretty sure he's the only actor with not only 1 or 2 but 3 movies in that critics list and you guys are still unhappy? 🤣

 

@Sliva I posted those lists because they wasn't voted by some random people but real critics who are very much a big part of Leos life as an actor and who are always very generous when it comes to his movies and performances. Actually they're the only one left who doesn't care for his personal life and only judge his professional achievements like it should.

 

But some people are never satisfied right?

Only 2 films on low positions. Why it's important?

Can't you read or are you just ignorant? I just explained why I feel it's important. Also The Wolf of Wall Street and The Revenant are also in the list.

 

Instead of spreading negativity feel free to ignore my posts the next time.

 it's not important because results are pitiful. Zero films of Leo in Top-10. 

[BarbieErin]

I'am not unhappy, I was just saying my opinion and Django not being there is unfair too, lol. 

 

But yeah, you're right about critics not judging his personal life, after all that would be quite ridiculous if they did.

Pretty sure the list was made in 2019 so Once upon a time in Hollywood may not have even been released by that point. 🙂

More lists of 2000s movies this time from directors/indie filmmakers. Feel free to ignore them!

 

Joe Dante (director: “Gremlins”)

No order 

“Mulholland Drive”
“Children of Men”
“Pan’s Labyrinth”
“Idiocracy”
“Speed Racer”
“Shaun of the Dead”
“Inglorious Basterds”
“Ratatouille”
“Battle Royale”
“Gangs of New York”

 

Parker Finn (writer/director: “Smile”)

“Requiem for a Dream”
“Catch Me If You Can”

(Spielberg firing on all cylinders — about as close as you can get to a perfect movie.)
“The Ring”
“24 Hour Party People”
“A Tale of Two Sisters”
“Children of Men”
“Zodiac”
“There Will Be Blood”
“Rachel Getting Married”
“Enter the Void”

 

Michael Felker (writer/director: “Things Will Be Different”)

“THE AVIATOR”
Saw this in theaters with my dad. I distinctly remember him whispering to me before it started, “Any time you see a Martin Scorsese movie, you may be seeing the greatest movie ever made.” And for awhile, this was the greatest. Everything I learned about crafting a compelling but flawed protagonist came from this film. The brief white flashes into Howard Hughes’ obsessive psyche and crippling anxiety genuinely still move me to this day. 

 

Nora Finghschneidt (writer/director “The Outrun”)

Other films of that decade that cannot go unmentioned: REPRISE (Joachim Trier, 2006), THE RETURN (Andrei Petrowitsch Swjaginzew, 2003) , I KILLED MY MOTHER (Xavier Dolan, 2009), THE WHITE RIBBON (Michael Haneke, 2009), THE SQUID & THE WHALE (Noah Baumbach, 2005), THE DEPARTED (Martin Scorsese, 2006) 

 

Annie Hamilton (actor: “Between the Temples”)

“The Gangs of New York”/”The Aviator” 
Can watch these two cuties any day any time. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous entertainment. I had a great “Aviator” poster, but I wasn’t allowed to hang posters in my room, so I kept it under my bed and would pull it out to view it before I went to sleep.  

“Catch Me If You Can” should be on here too – I know I’m cheating – but I cant put it on the header cus it’s Spielberg’s not Scorsese’s. My friends like to joke that it’s the only movie I’ve ever seen start to finish (at one point, this might’ve been true..) 

 

Robert Kolodny (director: “The Featherweight”)

11. “The Aviator” (Scorsese) 
 
Spiritually, Scorsese is my personal saint of cinema and it would be disingenuous to not include him here. “The Aviator” is a staggering film in so many ways, so fully grandiose and echoing with adoration for the history of cinema. It also belongs to a personal favorite sub-genre of “power hungry eccentric geniuses going over the edge”. Other entries in that genre include: “The Red Shoes,” “There Will be Blood,” “Tár,” and “Citzen Kane.” 

 

Joe Lynch (director: “Suitable Flesh”)

“THE DEPARTED” (Martin Scorsese, 2006) – At the time I thought the film was lower-key Marty, itself a remake of the fantastic Japanese thriller INFERNAL AFFAIRS. But it’s that moment when he and editor Thelma Schoonmaker abruptly cut the iconic Dropkick Murphy’s track after a montage to start a casual conversation with an old lady at a doorstep, I knew they were taking the studio star-vehicle potboiler to avant-garde heights only Scorsese could get away with. Seriously, any other director making the shot and edit choices he does in this would have been kicked off the lot or kicked out of the edit room. It’s a Hollywood “One For Them” that kinda backfired in that he made one of my favorite films in his filmography. Of the movies Scorsese directed in the 00’s, this is the one I revisit at least once a year.  

 

Neil Marshall (co-writer/director: “Duchess”)

INCEPTION
Perhaps the first intellectual blockbuster of the modern age. Christopher Nolan dared to try something new, dense and complex, challenging audiences to think for themselves in a time of largely being spoon-fed. And they loved him for it.

 

McG (director: “Uglies”)

In no particular order…. 

“The Dark Knight” 
“Amélie”
“Gladiator” 
“The Royal Tenenbaums” 
“There Will Be Blood” 
“Casino Royale” 
“Snatch”
“The Incredibles” 
“The Departed” 
“Slumdog Millionaire” 

 

Alex Saks (producer: “It Ends with Us”)

3. “The Departed” Watch this film every Christmas, by myself, since it came out. Can’t explain why. Do not read into that.

Jessica M. Thompson (director: “The Invitation”)

“A Beautiful Mind” (2001) – I feel this kicked off a feverish run of biopics (“Ray”, “Walk the Line”, “The Aviator”, “The Queen”, “La Vie en Rose”, “Milk” all quickly followed), and I am here for every single one of them. This was such an illuminating and searing insight into the fractured mind of a genius. (Also, what a one-two Russell Crowe had!) 

 

 

Jeff Wadlow (co-writer/director “Imaginary”)

“THE DEPARTED” (2006) 
I love Martin Scorsese, but I have a slightly controversial opinion — this is his best movie. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of GOODFELLAS, TAXI DRIVER, RAGING BULL (the list goes on and on), but if I had to pick one to re-watch right now, it would be THE DEPARTED. It’s just such an amazing concept (based on 2002’s INFERNAL AFFAIRS) and Scorese is at the top of his game. You can feel him bringing to bear all the tools he’s had as a filmmaker over the years, and he assembled a truly jaw-dropping cast. From Leonard DiCaprio giving one of his best performances, to Matt Damon’s awesome turn as a villain (what other director could get Damon to do that?), to all the supporting players (Vera Farmiga, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, Mark Wahlberg — and so many more), and to finally Jack Nicholson, giving arguably his final iconic performance (apologies to THE BUCKET LIST, which came out a year later) — this is Scorsese at his best.
