For our poll to determine the 100 greatest American films, we surveyed 62 film critics from around the world. This time, we received responses from 177 – from every continent except Antarctica. Some are newspaper or magazine reviewers, others write primarily for websites; academics and cinema curators are well-represented too. For the purposes of this poll we have decided that a list of the greatest films of the 21st Century should include the year 2000, even though we recognise that there was no ‘Year Zero’ and that 2001 is mathematically the start of the century. Not only did we all celebrate the turn of the millennium on 31 December 1999, but the year 2000 was a landmark in global cinema, and, in particular, saw the emergence of new classics from Asia like nothing we had ever seen before.

Warning: this list does not make apology to rape, abuse and to sexual violence, but I created as a warning to people sensitive on the subject and that can feel bad to see it on the screen. A lot of people already passed through abusive and violent situations, that's my tip about movies with scenes and subjects related to this abominable act to prevent some possible uncomfortableness.
(I'm sorry for my english)
