The New York Times has published a list of the 25 Best Films of the 21st Century So Far, and among them are three films for which Nonesuch Records released the soundtrack: Paul Thomas Anderson's 2007 film There Will Be Blood, which tops the list (and features a score by Jonny Greenwood), Richard Linklater's 2014 film Boyhood, and Joel and Ethan Coen's 2013 film Inside Llewyn Davis.

BBC Culture has just released its list of the 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century so far, and among them are three films by Paul Thomas Anderson—There Will Be Blood, The Master, and Inherent Vice, all of which feature scores by Jonny Greenwood—along with Richard Linklater's Boyhood, Joel and Ethan Coen's Inside Llewyn Davis, and Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream, for all six of which Nonesuch Records released the film soundtracks. BBC Culture says: "Film-making today, whether massively expensive or made with tiny budgets, shot on celluloid or video is thriving artistically as much as it ever has."
