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.

† NOTE: This is my second and broader list based on Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema (2019) by Mark Cousins. It's a complete list of all films by chapter that appear in Cousins' 14 hour documentary. It's ranked and notated to mirror the documentary's structure. My other (first) list is similar but more narrow selection of films and their TCM premier dates, based on the same Cousins' documentary which airs in TCM's 2020 Women Make Film Film Festival. https://trakt.tv/users/lezelmaz/lists/women-make-film-tcm-tuesdays-2020

†† NOTE: This list notes the first instance only of a film that may appear in multiple chapters.

TCM's monumental three-month-long festival, Women Make Film, celebrating female filmmakers with groundbreaking, 14-part documentary from Mark Cousins, Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema (2020), and three dozen movies by women directors. Cousins' extensive documentary is a TCM premiere, as are 23 of the 36 films in this installment of the festival. By the time it is completed TCM will have paid tribute to 100 films and 100 filmmakers spanning six continents, 44 countries and 12 decades! // CITATION: TCM.

† NOTE: This is first of two lists based on Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema (2019) by Mark Cousins. This list (with TCM premier dates) is narrower in scope and is a complete showcase of TCM's 2020 Women Make Film Film Festival through DEC 1, 2020. My second list (similar but broader), Women Make Film II, is a compendium of all the films by chapter that appear in Cousins' 14 hour documentary. It's ranked and notated to mirror the documentary's structure. https://trakt.tv/users/lezelmaz/lists/women-make-film-ii

†† NOTE: As I developed my broader Women Make Film II list, I noticed that while most films curated by TCM for their Women Make Film Film festival are culled from Cousins' documentary, several films (along with those female directors) did not originate from his doc, and are not included in that other Women Make Film II list.

Studies show that half of all film school graduates are women, yet only 5% of them are working Hollywood directors. This is not only a problem in Hollywood, but everywhere in the world. There’s prejudice and difficulties akin to them, common stories of declined financing help and even production interruptions due to certain chosen themes and subjects in their work.
There are exceptions to the rule that are forgotten, and others that are now breaking through. Although many who are active today seek refuge in independent filmmaking, TV and online media, they are – increasingly so – receiving more attention. The current list gathers some of the most prominent female filmmakers in the history of film, and the movies that made them so inspiring.

The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list serves as a companion to the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? 1,000 Greatest Films of all time list which, - by its nature - tends to have very few films from the 21st century in it. The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list attempts to highlight and honour this century's most critically revered films and act as a sort of 'resting bay' for many great films that are likely to be included in the 1,000 Greatest Films list sooner or later.
