The ranking's 10 top movies included In the Mood for Love from 2000, 2004's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, 2010's The Social Network, 2008's The Dark Knight, Inglourious Basterds from 2009, No Country for Old Men, released in 2007, Mulholland Drive from 2001, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, also released in 2001, and 2019's Parasite.
2015's post-apocalyptic film, Mad Max: Fury Road, took home the list's top spot. According to the publication, the fourth Mad Max film took home the title of the best movie from the 21st century because it's action-packed, had incredible imagery, and an important story.
The Film's Director, George Miller, Revealed Why Tom Hardy Was Cast as Max Rockatansky
The co-creator of the Mad Max franchise, George Miller, discussed taking on writing and directing Mad Max: Fury Road in a 2015 interview with Vice. Miller noted that Mad Max: Fury Road famously used practical effects, making it even more immersive for the audience.
"This is a movie that's real vehicles and real people and real desert. It had to be old school. There no flying humans. It's not a green screen movie. So, we had to shoot it for real. And I think that makes the movie feel very very authentic and, all the action and so on. Everything you see on the screen happened," said Miller, now 81, to Vice.
Miller also explained how he chose Tom Hardy to replace Mel Gibson as Max Rockatansky. As fans of the franchise are aware, Gibson originated the character and played him in Mad Max (1979), Mad Max 2 (1981), and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985). He said that Hardy, like Gibson, has charisma, while "having element of danger and mystery," which are necessary traits to play Max.
"For characters who don't say much, you need to be see a lot of stuff going on inside. And he was the first one who walked through the door that reminded me of Mel, 30 years before," said Miller during the Vice interview.
