Movies encompass the length and breadth of the human experience, making any Best Of list hopelessly subjective. Comparing, say, The Silence of the Lambs to Fantasia to determine which one is “better” actively insults both movies. Similarly, scholarly lists — like the British Film Institute’s once-a-decade model which sets the pace on this front — tend to overlook “base” genres like horror and comedy, which often prove more influential. And if a reader isn’t already inclined to seek out arthouse fare like The 400 Blows or The Passion of Joan of Arc, their inclusion in a given list means very little.Influential films, however, can be measured a little more objectively, as well as encompassing popular movies that find the sweet spot between art and commerce. And while it can be difficult to separate the true game-changers from the flashes in the pan, time has a way of revealing. Below is a list of the 25 greatest films — subjective, as every list is — measured both by their artistic accomplishments and their lasting impact on the medium.Hollywood in the 2010s can be summed up in three words: Marvel Cinematic Universe. What started as a comparatively humble set of films soon turned into something much more. Shared universes became the order of the day, thanks solely to the groundbreaking Avengers, which turned the MCU into the king of the cinematic cage overnight.
