I don't know that I'd put it in the top 5 of the century but it's damn good.

I saw it once maybe a decade ago and remember thinking it was great, but somehow I’ve forgotten much of the plot. I’ll definitely have to revisit it. I also may not think of it as one of the best film of the century, but I’ll at least say it’s the best Clooney performance I’ve seen.
