List of the Week: 21 Best Films of the 21st Century

Since the New York Times published their series "The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century," the internet (we used to call this Film Twitter, maybe we still do) has been abuzz with reactions and responses. This has consisted of, more often than not, folks publishing their own lists of their favorite films from this millennium. After doing a lot of thinking, I decided to draft my own list.
