2000 yılından beri süregelen 9 yıllık sürecin en iyi 100 filmini açıklayan Times'ın listesi, kaçırdığınız çok iyi filmler için de bir yol haritası niteliğinde.
Anne Hathaway ve Meryl Streep'in başrollerini paylaştığı kadın, moda ve kariyer üzerine oldukça eğlenceli bir romantik komedi olan Şeytan Marka Giyer (Devil Wears Prada) ile başlayan listede 1 Türk filmi de göze çarpıyor. 87. sırada yer alan Reha Erdem'in Beş Vakit adlı filmi 95. sıradaki Paramparça Aşklar Köpekler'i de geride bırakmış. Erdem'in filminin listede olmasının mutluluğunu yaşarken, modern klasiğin 95. sırada yer alması birçoklarımızı rahatsız edecek gibi.
Bu yıl tartışmalara sebep olan ve Sean Penn'e En İyi Erkek Oyuncu Ödülü'nü getiren Milk 53. sırada yer alırken bu yıl 8 Oscar'ın sahibi olan Slumdog Millionaire 6. sırada yer aldı.
Cannes'da 2005 yılı En İyi Yönetmen Ödülü'nü alan Michael Haneke'nin, 1. Uluslararası Avrasya Film Festivali Açılış Filmi olarak da gösterilen Saklı'sı ise listede 1. sırada yer aldı. Bu sonuçta çoğu kişi hem fikir olabilir mi? Sanırız bu da tartışılır.
