The 25 Best Movies of the Century: No. 21, ‘Mission: Impossible—Fallout’

Sean and Amanda return to continue their yearlong project of listing the 25 best movies of the 21st century so far. Today, they discuss their favorite installment of the beloved Tom Cruise action franchise with Mission: Impossible—Fallout, which features some of the greatest action filmmaking of all time. They explain why this concretized director Christopher McQuarrie as a legitimate star filmmaker, explore what this film means and represents about Cruise’s movie stardom persona, and share why they went with this film instead of Top Gun: Maverick as the official late-stage Cruise movie for the list.
