It’s no wonder looking at that list that his films have gone to the dogs.
Watched One Battle After Another - a big giant meh. Maybe I had too high expectations for it.

Ready or Not is a film that passed me by entirely and only came to my notice now there’s a sequel coming out. Well worth a watch for those who love their horror infused with a bit of comedy and schlock. A girl marries into a very wealthy old money dysfunctional family and has a wedding night to remember.

My top 5 filums of the 21st century:
- Hunger (2008 Steve McQueen)
- The Lives of Others (2006 Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck)
- Quo Vadis, Aida? (2020 Jasmila Žbanić)
- An Cailín Ciúin (2022 Colm Bairéad)
- All Of Us Strangers (2023 Andrew Haigh)
There’s many honourable mentions but I can’t be bothered listing them. I’m pretty happy these are the 5 best films I’ve seen from this century.

I haven’t seen numbers 4 and 5 but couldn’t argue with your first 3.
The Lives of Others is one of my all-time favourites, let alone the 21st century.
An understated contender for me would be the wonderful That They May Face The Rising Sun (2023)

I wasn’t a fan of all of us strangers - Aftersun and Tyrannosaur would definitely be in my top 5.
I haven’t heard of Tyrranosaur and I haven’t seen Aftersun, which I really mean to.
I thought All Of Us Strangers was an incredibly moving film, without being sentimental or twee and all four performances were phenomenal.

You have to watch 4 and 5, especially An Cailin Ciuin. A great film to watch with the family over Christmas.
It’s all subjective. But I hated All of us strangers
Such is the nature of art mate and I respect your opinion.

I also forgot dead man’s shoes which I would probably have at number 1
Aftersun is very good. Paul Mescal is excellent.
