Spike getting his first nomination for a landmark movie about racism when Driving Miss Daisy won and then finally winning when Green Book won is the academy in a nutshell. But his reaction is great and I'm so glad he has one.
I really love A Beautiful Mind….. it’s a shame that it’s legacy is winning Best Picture in one of the best years of cinema. It wouldn’t get anywhere as much hate if it had won a different year
There were problems with this ranking system (Chicago should have been higher, for example), but the last two selections were ace choices. When “Parasite” won the Oscar, I remember experiencing an almost outer-body experience while completely screaming for joy. It felt like we were about to be ushered into an international artistic renaissance and it has been fascinating to watch subsequent award show ceremonies spotlight diverse, international and global artists.
I’m pausing before #21 is revealed to say this video IS my cup of tea. I wonder if like me, a number of Rory’s top five will be in years where a better film was snubbed: No Country For Old Men (Michael Clayton) , Parasite (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Joker), Spotlight (Bridge of Spies, Mad Max). Oppenheimer is the only Best Picture winner that would be in my top five movies of the 21st Century.
Post viewing comment: I saw Parasite on an appropriately rainy Sunday afternoon a few hours before it won Best Picture. It was the last movie I saw at a theater before Covid shut everything down Although I do like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood more, it’s certainly better than Joker, don’t know why I cited that.
Birdman took my breath away with how good it was when I first watched it. The critics I saw at the time were exuberently fanatical about it which solidified my fandom… so why is it now seen as a ‘divisive’ winner and dropped in critical standing? Almost to the point of being derided if you say you like it or looked at like you’re a pretentious wank. There’s several above it on this list which don’t really come close to the amazement Birdman gives off.
Agree. One of the ways I rank a movie is if and how much I enjoyed the experience of seeing it at a theater. Birdman is a pitch perfect Saturday Night movie to be followed by a drink and conversation afterwards.
It's so funny to me that Kubrick has an oscar but it's for visual effects. The only other director to win an oscar for visual effects was the director of Godzilla Minus One this past year.
Coda higher than Crash & Coda? Come on now. Also Oppenheimer is too high and I ❤ that movie. Also EEAAO has no business being up so high and above No Country for old men and The Departed

@@justingerald he's a sore loser. Very classless guy. I don't recall Ang Lee mouthing off when Brokeback got Robbed
Wait no fucking way you're a small channel
This was great, looking forward to watching your videos for a while
A big problem for CODA is that Apple refuses to release it on DVD or to libraries so almost no one has been able to rewatch and reevaluate.
I thought I saw it at my Library, but I could be wrong.
I really love A Beautiful Mind….. it’s a shame that it’s legacy is winning Best Picture in one of the best years of cinema. It wouldn’t get anywhere as much hate if it had won a different year
Perfect entertainment for a rainy afternoon. How about going back through the decades

Extreme hot take, Shrek wouldve been a better winner for best picture than a beautiful mind
Shrek 2001, American Beauty 1999
@@parangaricuchillo I meant a beautiful mind.

Good ranking list.
Oh man listening u list 2001 movies and then seeing donnie darko on the "to watch" list.
Bro, WATCH IT
Cool vid btw
Yeah Donnie Darko is dope.
Coda higher than Crash & Coda? Come on now. Also Oppenheimer is too high and I ❤ that movie. Also EEAAO has no business being up so high and above No Country for old men and The Departed
Nope
oppenheimer ranked top 3 of the century and over eeaoo is crazy. otherwise, pretty good list.
Hot take: I HATED the shape of water.
Bruh I was w u until the departed ranking. Aint no way in hell is spotlight better than the departed🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️🤣
Great video
Great Video
Birdman is the best one
great vid
Fun fact: 2000 was the final year of the 20th century, not the first of the 21st.
Crash is a masterpiece compared to CODA. Still totally baffled how that won. “Perfectly nice” is far too kind.
CODA has the same premise as a German film from the 90s called Beyond Silence. so really not all that novel.
@@SomeRPGFan I thought it was a remake of a French movie?
NEVER let this man cook again.
I might agree with some or disagree with others, but some arguments have no base, and I think he's being quite bias.
The 21st century began in 2001. Gladiator doesn't belong here.

@@michaelsheehan49 ? Duh to the plot and reviews for a movie with that plot and just overall since I haven't seen all of them then I'm just guessing
