    Most recent? Probably CHILDREN OF MEN or BABEL.

    The seamless action sequences in CHILDREN OF MEN were a real jolt the first time I saw it. How they managed to execute such lengthy, complicated choreography is beyond me.

    Hoop Dreams (1994) is hanging around my top 10. The most recent one that's no-doubt, gone-off-the-bat is The Sting (1973).

    There have been plenty of objectively great films the past 20+ years but they don't seem to stay with me the way movies used to.

    That’s close to how it is for me as well.

    These films would be contenders, not exactly “new”:

    Apollo 13 (1995)
    Forrest Gump (1994)
    Fargo (1996)
    The Others (2001)
    Vanilla Sky (2001)
    No Country for Old Men (2008)
    Shutter Island (2010)
    Toy Story 3 (2010)

  15. Both are great films but Children of Men, technically, remains an astonishing achievement to me.
    For me:
    I thought "Age of Ultron" managed to be both a terrific bit of entertainment AND have some darker themes that were examined as well. I also like that they (as in the comic) didn't truly made Thanos a bad guy who does what he does just because he's evil. In HIS movie he's the good guy trying to save the universe from all of these pesky "heroes". A well developed and directed film. Definitely Captain America Winter Soldier would be on that list--it manages to capture the paranoid vibe of films like "Three Days of the Condor" and other 70's political thrillers while dealing with some interesting themes.

    If I could ever choose 10 films ( doubtful) Crash would not be in it I suppose, but I love it and consider it essential. Good call.

    Yes, spectacular. If this was a question of the top 10 in different genres, this would be in the War genre. It was a compliment to James Jones's novel even with the changes. nolte was really good.
