Happy 25th Birthday, ROTTEN TOMATOES: RT critics reveal the top 25 films of the past 25 years -- and embarrass themselves?

In celebration of Rotten Tomatoes' 25-year anniversary (1999 to 2024), top critics were recently approached by the site to put together a list of the TOP 25 FILMS.

While their list was commendable, there were several critical omissions that in my opinion invalidate it. (No films were selected between the years 2002 to 2005; and only one female director's work was selected out of the 25 film directors of which some director's work was listed more than once!).

Are we really just going to sit idly by and let the Statler & Waldorfs of the cinema declare that no Pixar film or Wes Anderson film in a quarter of a century is worthy of inclusion here?

I have compiled my own list that I feel is more inclusive and more encompassing when it comes to the diverse array of film work over the past quarter century because I passionately feel that we’ve been given better examples of cinema in the past 25 years that were ignored by this coterie of critics for Rotten Tomatoes.

They were wrong.

Here’s my list.

Please enjoy.
