Shortly after Gravity comes Cuarón's final film on our list - and similarly, the film is noted for Lubezki's impressively long takes. Children of Men storms the top 20 at #19.
RT Consensus: "Works on every level: as a violent chase thriller, a fantastical cautionary tale, and a sophisticated human drama about societies struggling to live. This taut and thought-provoking tale may not have the showy special effects normally found in movies of this genre, but you won't care one bit after the story kicks in, about a dystopic future where women can no longer conceive and hope lies within one woman who holds the key to humanity's survival. It will have you riveted."
