Films we call “classics” tend to be from the 1970s or ’80s—the kind our seniors saw in cinemas back in the day.
But we’ve watched plenty of great films ourselves.
From blockbuster action films we rushed to see on opening day in IMAX, to A24 discoveries stumbled upon in independent cinemas—we can almost recall the temperature of the day we saw them.

So this time, we’re bringing you a film feature focused entirely on masterpieces of the 21st century.
Action, romance, comedy—everything that has passed before your eyes over the past quarter-century, gathered here for you to rediscover.
Seen this way, there are so many films to love beyond the classics of the 20th century.

Think of it as POPEYE’s very own “Greatest Hits” album of cinema.
So—what’s your number one?
