A '100 Best Movies' List Is Only As Good As Its Celeb Ballots
Briefly

The New York Times’ list of the best movies of the 21st century sparks discussions about individual tastes, as exemplified by Sofia Coppola's choice of Will Ferrell's Daddy’s Home alongside art-house favorites. The 2022 list emphasizes the personal selections of countless filmmakers rather than strict rankings. This broad array of ballots highlights the appeal of seeing what different artists enjoy, with their choices reflecting shared experiences. Observing how lists act as a platform for insight into celebrity preferences continues to fascinate audiences.
Coppola's Daddy's Home nod is part of what makes lists...so endlessly appealing. It's not the vague arbitrary final rankings...the name of the game is individual ballots.
We want to know what they're watching and why. Rather than provide insight into six directors...this time it's back with dozens and dozens of individual ballots for dissecting and laughing about.
