To be clear, The Meg 2 was 10 out of 16 films. It was a little bit better than Indiana Jones 5, Fast and the Furious 10, Megan, Cocaine Bear, Super Mario, and Magic Mike 3.

 

I think mine would be:

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Past Lives
Oppenheimer
Infinity Pool
Asteroid City
Beau Is Afraid
Rye Lane
Air
Jason Isbell: Running With Our Eyes Closed
How To Blow Up a Pipeline

Haven’t seen Barbie, Mission Impossible, and Indiana Jones yet.

 

Rough ranking (still so much to see):

Oppenheimer
Past Lives
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Elemental
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One
Asteroid City
The Covenant
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
Barbie
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Air
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
You Hurt My Feelings
Polite Society
John Wick 4
65
Creed III
Scream VI
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Renfield
No Hard Feelings
Meg 2: The Trench
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
We Have a Ghost
Missing
Red, White & Royal Blue
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Cocaine Bear
Love Again
Ghosted

 

Blackberry’s still my number one right.

Really want to see Polite Society and Past Lives.

 

Past Lives and Spider-Verse are the only ones that feel like locks to make my EOTY list. Though Barbie and John Wick 4 have a good shot too.

 

I've apparently seen 35 movies in theaters this year. I've put them through the ranker multiple times but I'm never satisfied with the result, there's just so many good ones it feels impossible to choose a top ten. Ironically, top five is easy.

Everything else I’ve liked this year and don’t care to rank:
Mission Impossible
Asteroid City
John Wick 4
Evil Dead Rise
Spider Verse
Talk To Me

 

Forgot about this movie, lol. It was good! Deserves to be in my “honorable mentions” just outside of my 10 so far, probably.

 

Shit, how did I forget Talk To Me? Fixed.

 

I don’t feel like looking through my Cinemark app to see all I’ve seen this year but my biggest miss currently is past lives.

 

I really want to see Bottoms, Mission Impossible and Talk to Me.

 

Yeah I’m real behind, spent most of this year catching up on older movies.

 

And you put Knock At the Cabin above Past Lives?

 

I did too, are you gonna yell at me about it

 

Yes. Both are really good films but Knock at the Cabin is more interesting.

 

classic 2/5 movie

 

Knock at the Cabin would rank a lot higher for me if the ending were just a little different.

 

please elaborate

 

Knock at the Cabin is cool.

 

I think if the ending were different Tim would have ranked it higher

 

My Top 10 is looking like

1. Asteroid City
2. Oppenheimer
3. Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3
4. Past Lives
5. Creed III
6. Bottoms
7. Beau is Afraid
8. Suzume
9. Blackberry
10. They Cloned Tyrone

Incredibly strong year so far though.

Air, Spider-Verse, Barbie, Knock at the Cabin and John Wick Chapter 4 are my next 5.
