Film critics agree:

I agree with #1 at least. Best movie of the 21st century.

Mulholland Dr just wasnt for me. Confusing, incoherent plot that was ultimately boring. I watched it a few years after it came out and had gained a strong following as a great film, and was left just a little mad i had wasted my time on it. I was like "That is the film people keep saying is great?!" I know people say it takes multiple viewings to understand it better but my last thought was 'fuck that film' lol, so no thanks.

i watched it for the first time a few weeks ago and to me it felt like daniel day lewis shouldn't have been in the movie. watching gangs of new york was like watching a decent comic book movie with an oscar award winning performance.

Rescue Dawn (Herzog eviscerates military heroism in an amazing and ambitious companion piece to Little Dieter Needs to Fly)

There Will Be Blood

A Scanner Darkly (Linklater slavishly captures the book and still manages to summon charismatic characters from a PKD novel, which honestly would put it above the source material if it wasn't so personally linked with the author)

I'm Not There

Kung Fu Hustle

Mulholland Dr.

The Piano Teacher

Dancer in the Dark

Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Why? I only know her because of what she's said about Revenge of the Sith.

In addition to a lot of stock shitty libertarian ideas, and homophobia (despite being gay herself, like Milo), she thinks that college rape prevention measures infantilize girls and "neuter" men because women actually like the danger (and generally defending men and pointing the finger at feminists at college ideologues for making an assault on "free speech", making her very popular with gamer gaters)

But mostly she just makes a career out of "provocative" baseless statements (lol Revenge of the Sith as greatest work of art of the century is a relatively tame example) justified through really vague means and gussied up with long winded sentences and verbiage so as to make them appear like they have any intellectual merit.

Also, if you watch any video of her it's abundantly clear she's fuckin nuts.

Damn right. It's Shalamayalan's low key masterpiece

I've always found it his weakest "early period" movie, and I say that as someone who liked Lady in the Water. Part of the problem was that it was easy to guess the twist, which I don't innately think is a problem, but it just didn't have much to go on beyond that.
