Who is the best director of the 21st century so far? According to the list published by the newspaper The New York Times, Christopher Nolan, at least because he is the most represented, with five titles, among the 100 best movies released since 2020 (the American newspaper considers that the 21st century begins in 2000 instead of 2001). The five Nolan films they have chosen occupy positions 28, 53, 62, 65 and 89. If the position in the ranking is prioritized, perhaps more valuable are the four films that appear by Paul Thomas Anderson (3, 25, 42 and 56), the brothers Ethan and Joel Coen (6, 36, 76 and 83) and Alfonso Cuarón (13, 18, 46 and 97). However, none of these filmmakers tops the list drawn up with the votes of more than 500 personalities from the film world. Number 1 goes to Parasites, by South Korean Bong Joon-ho, of whom there is another title in the ranking: Memories of Murder (Chronicle of a Serial Killer).
