30 Most Important Movies Made Since 2000

27. The Wolf Of Wall Street

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Paramount Pictures

It feels as if it was made by a man half his age, but the now 72 year-old Martin Scorsese was the genius behind The Wolf of Wall Street, a movie that's part slapstick comedy, part dark satire of Capitalism and part seductive depiction of money, sex and a whole lot of drugs akin to Caligula.

It features Leonardo DiCaprio's best performance that wasn't just the year's best, or even one of the best since 2000, but one of the best ever.
