​177 film critics from around the world just compiled their 100 best films of the 21st Century, putting Mulholland Drive at Number 1 and completely ignoring The Road, Beasts of the Southern Wild, and Ken Loach...! Here's my stab at a top 20, mostly from their top 100 but with a few editions:
  1. The Act of Killing (Joshua Oppenheimer, 2012)
  2. The Road (John Hillcoat, 2009)
  3. No Country for Old Men (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2007)
  4. The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, 2006)
  5. Beasts of the Southern Wild (Benh Zeitlin, 2012)
  6. Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller, 2015)
  7. Let the Right One In (Tomas Alfredson, 2008)
  8. Far From Heaven (Todd Haynes, 2002)
  9. Dogville (Lars von Trier, 2003)
  10. Pan's Labyrinth (Guillermo Del Toro, 2006)
  11. Inherent Vice (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2014)
  12. Birdman (Alejandro G. Iñárritu, 2014)
  13. The White Ribbon (Michael Haneke, 2009)
  14. Under the Skin (Jonathan Glazer, 2013)
  15.  City of God (Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund, 2002)
  16. The Revenant (Alejandro G. Iñárritu, 2015)
  17. The Wind That Shakes the Barly (Ken Loach, 2006)
  18. Nightcrawler (Dan Gilroy, 2014)
  19. District 9 (Neill Blomkamp, 2009)
  20. ​Memento (Christopher Nolan, 2000)
 Then, of course, there's The Avengers...
