By ForGeeks Films by Paul Thomas Anderson, David Lynch and Hayao Miyazaki have topped the ranking of 100 great films of the 21st century from Kinopoisk. Seven Russian films have been included in the top 100 films from around the world, with Alexei Balabanov’s drama ranking highest of all.
Films from Paul Thomas Anderson, David Lynch and Hayaaya Miyazaki have topped the list.
Kinopoisk’s editorial team has completed a special project, created in collaboration with 230 industry representatives, highlighting the most important films of the 21st century, and presented the final part of the ranking – films from 25 to number one. Producers, directors, writers, screenwriters, festival participants, critics and journalists, including Vyacheslav Murugov, Valery Todorovsky, Gavriil Gordeev, Klim Shipenko, Valery Fedorovich, Evgeny Nikishov, Yana Wagner, Makar Kozhukhov, Konstantin Mayer, Mikhail Mestetsky, Kirill Sokolov, Ivan I. Tverdovsky, Anton Shchukhov, Konstantin Mayer, Mikhail Mestetsky, Kirill Sokolov, Vyacheslav Murugov, Valery Todorovsky, Gavriil Gordeev, Klim Shipenko, Yevgeny Nikishov, Konstantin Mayer, Konstantin Mayer, Mikhail Mestetsky, Ivan I. Tverdovsky, and Anton Shchukhov. Tverdovsky, Anton Shchukin, Ivan Samokhvalov, Yuri Bykov, Peter Buslov, Marina Stepnova, Alexei Polyarinov, Egor Moskvitin, Rustam Mosafir, Pavel Lungin, Roman Kantor, Stanislav Zelvensky, Adilkhan Erzhanov, Artyom Gabrelyanov and others. In total, respondents mentioned more than 700 films.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Oil” topped the poll, with David Lynch’s “Mulholland Drive” coming in second and Hayao Miyazaki’s animated “Ghostbusters” rounding out the top 3. The top 10 also includes “Dogville,” “No Place for Old Men,” “Avatar,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotlight,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Inception” and “Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood.
Klim Shipenko, director, screenwriter: “For me, ‘Oil’ is Paul Thomas Anderson’s most significant, epic and monumental movie. It is my favorite director alive and certainly one of the most important directors of the 21st century. Few films can be compared to “Citizen Kane,” but “Oil” is definitely in that range in terms of power of statement. Take for example the theme of godhood! It’s stunningly done across all movie departments. And, of course, the acting is beyond brilliant – not just Daniel Day-Lewis, but the rest of the cast.”
Alexei Balabanov’s “Cargo 200” was ranked 17th among Russian projects. In total, seven Russian films made it into the top 100: in addition to “Cargo 200,” the rating includes “Leviathan” (55th place), “Night Watch” (77th place), “Arithmia” (80th place), “Shapito Show” (82nd place), “Return” (85th place), and “Elena” (98th place).
If the rankings were based on the number of mentions rather than a point system, Hayao Miyazaki’s anime “Gone with the Ghosts” would top the list. The films “City of God,” “Kingdom of the Full Moon” and “Portrait of a Girl on Fire” were also mentioned more often than others, but fell 2-3 points short of making the top 100.
More than any other film.
Pavel Voronkov, film critic: “Miyazaki, who, along with del Toro, is a member of the club of modern storytellers, has turned an ancient Japanese tale about babai-kidnappers (as well as “Alice in Wonderland”) into a poignant story about what capitalism is doing to us. Or rather, what we are doing to ourselves by professing capitalism. Also, Ghost Gone, like the rest of Miyazaki, is one of the lamest ways to get into anime (even the American movie academics have managed it). Once you’ve been whisked away by the ghosts of the place, you won’t want to go home.”
After you’ve been whisked away by the ghosts, you won’t want to go home.
The project will also be dedicated to a special edition of the podcast “Close-up”, and Yandex Music will feature a playlist with the best soundtracks from the films that made it into the top 100. After the full publication of the rating in the online cinema a selection of films from among those mentioned in the list of “100 Great Movies of the XXI Century” was released. “Mulholland Drive,” “Dogville,” “No Country for Old Men,” “Parasites,” “La La Land,” “Oldboy,” “Melancholia,” “Amelie,” “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” “Everything Everywhere at Once” and more are currently available for streaming on Kinopoik.
