    That reminds me that I have not seen Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood yet.

    Not Scorsese’s best work at all. One of the GOATs for sure but if that dude didn’t say yes to the part it’s a nothing movie.

    Of course DDL carried it but thats kind of the point. If you take the superstar off any team they wont be nearly as good. Its like saying the Bulls were great but MJ kind of carried them to that. I mean... yea. That Bill the Butcher character was an all time great movie villain.

    You can say this same exact thing with Lebron and the 2018 Cavs, but that’s still comfortably a top 100 team of the 21st century.

    Does American Pyscho qualify for this list?

    That movie was fcking something else if you didn't know what to expect going in. Extremely unique. The book is even weirder.

    Technically 'no' because the 21st century starts in 2001, but also... Gladiator and Memento are on here... so idk.

    Also…Gladiator to me is one of the more overrated movies ever. Watched it when I was 12 and was of course captivated but watched again as an adult and was completely underwhelmed.

    It’s really on the nose and not particularly interesting at all once you’ve already seen it.

    I enjoyed 25th Hour more than both of those movies, which isn't on the list

    Hell, A History of Violence is a very good movie that doesn't get talked about anymore.
    Big fan of A History Of Violence, very underrated IMO

    Btw, I don't think I've ever seen a movie as trippy as Mulholland Drive which is #2. Such a mind fvck of a movie, even though it's a low budget film it still holds up pretty well.

    Gladiator is definitely a good movie, but I 100% feel the same way that you do, I thought it was a masterpiece when I saw it as a kid

    The movie I think is probably the most overrated on the list is the Wolf of Wall Street. I won't dispute it's well made and entertaining, but I found it to be an ultimately hollow and extremely one note movie. To me it's essentially look at how crazy these wall street guys are, they do drugs, eat goldfish, toss midgets!

    I don't think it should have even made the list, to have it top 20 is a total joke. Even if I concede it's not as well made, I liked Boiler Room better and thought it did a better job actually explaining the scams these firms were running.
