Your Top 20 Films of All-Time (As of 2024) Movie • Page 5

wish I could’ve included a lot more but also didn’t wanna invest time in some long and grandiose list either

Children of Men is the one that hurts

 

Still need to see that one, too.

 

dang

yeah for sure

great film

 

Heat and Children of Men are both great.

 

I didn't see Children of Men until last year despite having it on DVD back in the day, but it's truly incredible. I've watched it three times in the past year

Heat also rules

 

Ill join in for a first time Heat watch this weekend

 

I recently watched Manhunter for the first time and adored it so I'm very interested

 

add thief to the list too if you’ve never seen it, so fucking good.

 

I watched heat for the first time recently it was great

 

Heat rules but please refrain from making your letterboxd review “dudes rock” after you watch it. We are retiring that phrase, it is a phrase for dorks

 

Dudes rock then

 

I also just bought Heat this past weekend, haven’t watched it yet

 

you better

 

I nearly put Signs on there, you don't know how good you have it!

 

dudes rock and don’t forget Saturday is for the boys!!

 

Michael Mann rules. Out of the movies of his I’ve seen the only one I don’t like is public enemies but I haven’t seen it since the theaters.

 

dudes don’t rock but Al Pacino and Robert De Niro do

 

I haven’t seen Children of Men since I saw it in the theaters, what 18 years ago? But I remember wanting to love it but not being into it. My guess is if I watched it now I’d see it through a completely different lens.

just showed my housemate Palm Springs and man that one might actually be on my list. forgot how much that movie meant to me when lockdowns first started, ultimate comfort film

 

Tons of recency bias on here (I re-watched The Wind That Shakes the Barley a few days ago). Debated whether it was too soon to include a film from 2022 or not, but then I remembered it's my list and I can do whatever I want.

1. A Perfect World (Clint Eastwood, 1993)
2. Rosemary's Baby (Roman Polanski, 1968)
3. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (Tobe Hooper, 1974)
4. Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Steven Spielberg, 1977)
5. Before Sunset (Richard Linklater, 2004)
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)
7. There Will Be Blood (Paul Thomas Anderson, 2007)
8. Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941)
9. Boyhood (Richard Linklater, 2014)
10. Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958)

11. Blue Velvet (David Lynch, 1986)
12. The Godfather Part II (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974)
13. The Wicker Man (Robin Hardy, 1973)
14. In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar-wai, 2000)
15. The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006, Ken Loach)
16. Spring Breakers (Harmony Korine, 2012)
17. Suspiria (Dario Argento, 1977)
18. Aftersun (Charlotte Wells, 2022)
19. The Night of the Hunter (Charles Laughton, 1955)
20. Seconds (John Frankenheimer, 1966)

 

great list

Seconds and Suspiria were both very close to making mine

 

there were a few Polanski films I was considering too but ultimately omitted for obvious reasons. that was one of them tho

 

triple post

might fuck around and do an honorable mentions list today
