Your Top 20 Films of All-Time (As of 2024) Movie • Page 9

I'm constantly impressed you all can rank 29 movies, but ranking more than that? Crazy! 100?!?!

There are so many good movies that are so good for completely different reasons, I don't think I could do it.

 

If it makes you feel any better, it's all arbitrary anyways. We're just freaks lol

 

I got paid for posting my ranking.

 

the soros check has already been deposited into my cash app

 

I did it for love of the game but I didn't go over 20 like some fuckin' nerd

 

There's a lot of people here who lack discipline

 

Discipline?

 

Not you. You lack courage and the heart of a warrior

@Aaron Mook regular or directors cut of Donnie Darko? I haven’t seen it in forever and have both on dvd apparently.

 

Regular is far better - leaves loads more ambiguity that the Directors cut decides to try and explain. Better music too.

 

yeah, director's cut is fun to watch maybe once just to see what it does differently but theatrical is the superior cut for sure

 

Finished Heat last night. It was awesome. Unbelievably tight 2hrs 50min.

 

I really liked Moonlight but a little surprised to see you have it ahead of some giants.

 

I’ll take a crack at this sometime. My list since I’ve joined this site has definitely changed with age and appreciating different things. I’d still have 2001 at the top though.

 

It's tough when you look back at it that way. However, when you start looking at it that way, it is going to crowd out a lot of modern stuff. Journey to Italy or Last Year at Marienbad are amazing and I was impressed when I saw them, but I can't remember a thing about them.

I was surprised how many 21st century films made the list, but as I cut down the list I found it harder to find the same emotions for some of the classics. Modern films are ones I've spent a lot more time debating and contemplating.

 

1. Parasite
2. Spirited Away
3. Mean Girls
4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
5. Silence of the Lambs
6. The Shining
7. Fantastic Planet
8. Bottoms
9. Turning Red
10. Lady Bird
11. Poor Things
12. The Thing
13. King of Kong
14. Nope
15. Hereditary
16. Killing of a Sacred Deer
17. House
18. Jennifer’s Body
19. Palm Springs
20. Everything Everywhere All At Once

Revisited Jacob's Ladder this week and yep, still top 10 material. Truly unsettling stuff.

 

my serious picks for my best list is still The Master, Eyes Wide Shut, and Blue Velvet

I always thought that was a really fucked up top 3 but many of you all have these on your lists too, despite them not usually being too represented on online lists

 

the movies I’ve watched the most list, and that I consider to be the most fun rewatches are probably The Matrix, Alien, and The Thing for me.
