I don't know if I could pick 20, that's super hard.

1. The Martian. - almost scientifically sound. Whatever you might think of Matt Damon, he also managed to make one bloke trying to survive incredibly entertaining.

2. Oldboy. - The vengance trilogy are some of my favourites to come from Asia, but Oldboy tops it. Hooked from the begining.

3. Pan's Labyrinth - just for the visuals. wow. and that lullaby.

Most of my faves are from the 20th but the one that sprang to mind this century is The Departed. Always think of animated separately but Toy Story 3 should of got a best film nom that year.
