    OG List:
    Apocalpyse Now
    Before Trilogy
    Do the Right Thing

    Eyes Wide Shut
    Ikiru
    Inglorious Basterds
    On the Waterfront
    Tree of Life

    The Wolf of Wall Street
    Yi Yi

    6/10. I forgot about Kubrick and Edward Yang. I'll always represent a Scorsese movie. I do love Apocalypse Now but don't mind making room for Channing Tatum or Chris Marker.

    are we still lucky to be here? Prestigious

    Revisiting my list from last year that's in no specific order:

    Independence Day
    There Will Be Blood
    No Country for Old Men
    The Lion King
    Raising Arizona
    Swingers
    The Departed
    Dead Poet's Society
    Training Day
    Remember the Titans

    Realistically, I'd probably remove Remember the Titans for Shawshank Redemption and miiiight bump Training Day and Swingers off the list as well. I'm not sure for what off the top of my head though.

    Meet me in Montauk

    It’s tough movie to get through, especially when you’re busy. It’s a kind of movie you need to devote an entire day to. I’m sure the love for the film will only grow as time goes on.

    I don’t have a 4K TV or a good sound system so I’m kinda waiting to watch BR2049 again until I do, seems like a disservice to me lol

    I watched the first one on 4K not long ago and it looked incredible. I can’t wait to watch 2049 on 4K, given how great the standard Blu-ray looks.

    1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
    2. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
    3. Jaws
    4. Halloween
    5. LA Confidential
    6. Ghostbusters
    7. Reservoir Dogs
    8. Jurassic Park
    9. Back to the Future
    10. Return to the Jedi

    In no particular order, and these are my favorites not what I think is best. Didn't realize I was such a Spielberg fanboy. Might do a list of my most rewatchable movies which would be pretty different.

    My list is still correct. Tokyo Story would be 11 and could switch with Late Spring at any moment.

    Raiders, Last Crusade, Jaws, and Jurassic Park are all incredible. I went with Close Encounters but all of those films compete for my favorite Spielberg film. Maybe swapping out Last Crusade for Catch Me If You Can.

    I can say that I watched Mission Impossible 3 the other day....and it may bump something off my list. Probably South Park the movie or Die Hard.

    It's just such a near perfect action movie, and maybe my favorite Tom Cruise acting performance.
