Ο μεγάλος νικητής φαίνεται πως είναι η ταινία «Mulholland Drive» του 2001, στην οποία πρωταγωνίστησε η Ναόμι Γουότς. 

Δεύτερη αναδείχθηκε η ταινία «In the Mood for Love», ενώ στην τρίτη θέση κατατάχθηκε το «There Will Be Blood». Αξιοσημείωτο είναι, ωστόσο, ότι καμία από τις πρώτες τρεις ταινίες δεν κατάφερε να κερδίσει το βραβείο Όσκαρ.

Στην πρώτη δεκάδα βρέθηκαν ακόμη οι ταινίες «The Tree of Life», «Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind» και «Boyhood», η οποία χρειάστηκε 12 χρόνια ώστε να ολοκληρωθεί.

Από την πλευρά του BBC, ο συντάκτης του «BBC Culture», Matthew Anderson υποστήριξε πως: «Θέλαμε να βρούμε τις καλύτερες ταινίες και αυτά είναι τα έργα για τα οποία οι άνθρωποι έχουν τα πιο έντονα συναισθήματα. Ελπίζουμε ότι αυτή λίστα θα αποτελέσει θέμα συζητήσεων, όχι απλώς ανάμεσα σε κριτικούς, αλλά και σε οποιονδήποτε αγαπά τις ταινίες».
