Your Top 20 Films of All-Time (As of 2024) Movie • Page 8

Midsommer is a little better than Hereditary, but I really hated Hereditary.

 

interesting

 

couldn’t pay me to watch his newest one

might just be a director I enjoy one film by (they’re definitely out there)

 

Jason Takes Manhattan

I get it, but I also love it as a natural (and more frightening) extension of Herschell Gordon Lewis's Two Thousand Maniacs

then again, Beau is one of my favorite films at this point and I think you're crazy for not giving it a shot but if Ari Aster/nightmare horror-comedy isn't for you, it isn't for you

 

Agreed I thought it was schlock

 

You need to google the meaning of schlock then

 

I did. I used it correctly.

 

No

 

not a big horror guy and likely never will be but midsommar was a great movie. (un related so was get out but i havent seen nope yet). also extremely iffy on beau is afraid but i also love nathan lane and amy adams so maybe one day. coincidentally im watching only murders in the building rn which at least in season one featured them both

 

Nathan Lane is great in Beau Is Afraid, but he’s even better in Dicks: The Musical.

 

I think about Nathan Lane saying "Beau, my brotha!" at least once a week

 

I have a shortlist of 400 done now. I will try to do 100-91 tomorrow.

 

Every Ari Aster film is a masterpiece.

 

Drop of a hat, these guys will rock n roll.

 

an Ari Aster film about a man with crippling anxiety certainly isn’t gonna do this man with crippling anxiety any favors. maybe one day tho

 

Not trying to convince you, but I have crippling anxiety too!

 

The first hour is a long anxiety attack.

 

First 2 hours is a 10/10 for me but the last 30 min not so sure about yet. I need to rewatch it

 

It's much funnier on second viewing, lol

Honestly LOVE the ending, feel like it pulls it all together

 

Is there even a way to do a list like this? Since the ROUNDHAY GARDEN SCENE in 1888, there have been millions of films made, from the most expensive blockbusters to spur-of-the-moment experiments never seen by anyone but their creators. From the adoption of sound, the use of color, the normalization of frame rate, and the increasing use of digital technology, it is very hard to compare something like INTOLERANCE to KONG VS GODZILLA and have much to say about the value of the art form. What should be weighted more in a list like this? There is plenty of film that is foundationally important to the medium but difficult to sit through in the age of TikTok brain rot. Conversely, how old does a film have to be to deserve serious consideration for the greatest of all time? We all have seen someone make lists with movies that seem to only exist after the authors' fifth birthday. Does the exclusion of some classic make the list redundant, and does someone without a professional background in the craft even deserve a voice? It is all up for debate. However, it will be attempted regardless. These are 100-91. Truthfully, they could just as easily be switched with the last ten to fall off the list on any given day, which helps to illustrate how deeply moving these films really are.

Zodiac too low, list invalid.

 

Zodiac is probably the weakest of the 10.

But it's a great list, no shade meant!

 

Me coming for @SpyKi

 

He forgot #97. I choose to assume it was Walk Hard.

 

Walk Hard, while great, did not make the 100.
