That's an incredibly bold claim. Don't get me wrong, it's a good film with some good performances but best film in the lats 21 years? Hmm.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps, but I can’t think of a better film since the turn of the century. Feel free to state otherwise!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
City of god
Dark Knight
Old Boy
Mon Oncle (My Uncle)
Kikujiro
To add a couple of feelgood films to what is generally a pretty dark and violent list.
corny and a bit cheesy but loved Road house, and as a kid stand by me was my fave film

I absolutely loved Inception, probably 10/10 for me, saw it before Shutter Island. Shutter Island then blew me away even more.

North by Northwest
Mulholland Drive
Some Like it Hot
Maltese Falcon
----------------------------------------------------------------------
some very solid choices here, i recently rewatched north by northwest and had forgotten how great it was, i felt a bit mean leaving out hitchcock (this one, vertigo, psycho, 39 steps) and kubrick (2001, paths of glory, barry lyndon), but couldn't quite squeeze any of them in.
and mulholland drive is a superb film, and one that rewards multiple viewings (almost certainly need to see it twice to figure out wtf is going on)
Martin Scorsese, David Lynch and Coen Brothers films feature in most of my lists.
Leon is another classic 10/10
Awakenings
A beautiful Mind.
Attack of the killer tomatoes
La Haine
The Dark Knight
Inception
There's a Colombian film about glue-sniffing street kids called The Rose Seller (La Vendedora de Rosas) that predates City of God by a few years. It was also filmed with non-professional actors most of whom had lived lives similar to those depicted in the film.
I don't know how it would stand up today, but it really impressed me back when it was released in Spain. One thing I recall is that even though it was a Spanish language film, it had to be subtitled because the Colombian street slang was almost unrecognisable.

Totally Don Draper - you could make a list of just Hitchcock films - The Birds, Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, To Catch a Thief ....
Also like Kubric, especially those films that leave you feeling - I don't know - almost empty inside!
I had to include The Crow because, for my sins, I adore the goth subculture and I feel the old testament, biblical sub-tone and portrayal of love in what is basically an action film.
Some Like it Hot, for me, is just one of the greatest comedy movies ever.

It was beautifully filmed no doubt, but a film needs more than that and I remember really looking forward to watching it only to be left feeling a bit empty. It’s been a very long time since I watched it, might give it another go at some point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Empty or indifferent? Because if I leave a cinema feeling empty, it might be that the film has stirred me to the point of feeling that life's a piece of sheet.

Sometimes, the director wants to make you feel empty inside. I think it's Kubrik's best trick. But also, look at a film like Lost in Translation, the director captures that loneliness, emptiness of being somewhere where you are completely alone and isolated. It's actually a very difficult thing to do imo.
A Clockwork Orange
Another of my 10/10's
Apocalypse Now. The Doors, the location. Brilliant film.
I liked Darren Aronofsky's early stuff as well. Pi, Requiem for a Dream. Black Swan was pretty good.
