A handful of Hollywood's most notable directors including Denis Villeneuve, Paul Feig and Sofia Coppola have revealed their favorite films of the 21st-century so far.

The lists were featured in an article by The New York Times, with further contributions coming from Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), Brett Ratner (Rush Hour), and acclaimed documentary maker Alex Gibney.
