The article discusses the complexities of creating a definitive list of the Top 10 movies of the 21st century, emphasizing the challenge of comparing vastly different genres and styles. It suggests a new interactive format: readers can participate in voting for their favorite films within specific categories, such as comedies or Meryl Streep films. After making selections, results based on collective reader votes will be updated every 15 minutes, allowing for ongoing interaction and a dynamic reflection of popular opinion.
Making a list of the Top 10 movies of the 21st century is hard, for those who work in movies and those who love watching them. It requires pitting very different films against each other in ways that don't always seem fair.
Why compare Meryl Streep to Denzel Washington when you can compare Meryl Streep to Meryl Streep? Why make one list, when you can make many?
For any category—horror movies, Meryl Streep films, etc.—we'll provide you with a pair of movies. All you have to do is pick which one you think is better.
Once you make 10 choices, we'll reveal the current results, based on the votes of all Times readers. We'll update these lists every 15 minutes, so feel free to come back.
