Ten years ago last May, I found myself so thunderstruck by a movie that I’m pretty sure my mouth hung open for nearly its entire two-hour running time. The film was George Miller’s visceral vision “Mad Max: Fury Road,” which I’d easily rank as the greatest action movie of the last quarter-century.
Turns out, so does Hollywood.
At 11th place, “Mad Max: Fury Road” was the highest-ranking blockbuster on our exciting new list, The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century, compiled by polling more than 500 people in and around the film industry. Contributors included Oscar-winning directors like Pedro Almodóvar, Sofia Coppola, Guillermo del Toro and Barry Jenkins, and actors such as Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Julianne Moore and Chiwetel Ejiofor. We even got a ballot from 98-year-old Mel Brooks.
