Your Top 20 Films of All-Time (As of 2024) Movie • Page 3

That at least gives me some more context, even though I think he's incorrect to assume that anyone in the crew would necessarily understand, let alone stop, an assault that they may or may not realize their director is carrying forward on camera.

Has the actress said anything about it?

 

My top 5 is pretty cemented and has been for 15+ years

1. Memento
2. True Romance
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

8. The Assassination of Jesse James
9. The Departed
10. Blue Valentine
11. Inglorious Basterds
12. Drive
13. 500 Days of Summer
14. Blue Velvet
15. Lord of War
16. Seven Psycopaths
17. Inception

how long does it take to type up the minions movie 20 times?

 

Not that I'm aware of. I hadn't even about it until long after I'd seen his films.

 

1. No Country For Old Men (undisputed)
2. The Truman Show
3. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
4. Warrior
5. Children of Men
6. The Departed
7. Logan
8. Dunkirk
9. The Shawshank Redemption
10. Nope
11. Jurassic Park
12. Hell or High Water
13. The Thing
14. Spider-Man 2
15. Prisoners
16. Pig
17. Die Hard
18. The Dark Knight
19. Nightcrawler
20. Seven

plenty of other movies I've given 4.5/5 stars to on Letterboxd, mostly based on how I feel in the moment (Killers of The Flower Moon, All That Jazz, Belfast, The Matrix for example)

 

Repulsion is also on my list

and tbh I’m not too keen on what Vincent Gallo (Buffalo ‘66) has become but I still love those films

 

seeing everyone's lists just reminds me again that there will never be enough time to see all of these great films

isn't that kinda beautiful

 

Yeah I've heard some odd things about him but Buffalo '66 is undeniable.

 

Hell yeah, another one for NOPE. I definitely used Letterboxd to help create my list and kind of left out films I'd given five stars but hadn't seen in a while (Eternal Sunshine, for example, hoping that holds up) and anything that was really recent or that I hadn't seen more than once. I've seen NOPE like four times now though and it legitimately gets better with every watch. I think it might be a masterpiece. It's the reason Get Out isn't on my list, which would definitely also be a contender.

Gallo is another one that gives me the heebie-jeebies

 

You can buy Gallo’s sperm for $1 million

I thought I'd go insane if I thought about this too much. I've probably missed loads of things or put them in the wrong order but whatever.

1) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
2) The Shining
3) Shaun of the Dead
4) Jurassic Park
5) Mulholland Drive
6) Everything Everywhere All At Once
7) Boogie Nights
8) The Lord of the Rings (All of 'em)
9) The Wailing
10) Threads
11) Empire Strikes Back
12) Parasite
13) Do The Right Thing
14) Grosse Pointe Blank
15) Beasts of the Southern Wild
16) In Bruges
17) Trainspotting
18) Metropolis

Threw a bunch of stuff I had given 5 or 4.5 to on Letterboxd into the Chorus ranker and this is what it gave me. Feels pretty good - the top 5 are usually what I cite as my top five but the order could shift on a given day. I cheated by grouping LOTR as one thing and by only including one Star Wars. Not endorsing Shane Carruth by any means, but I can't deny how important Primer was to me.

 

I have to say I am loving the amount of Eternal Sunshine love in this thread.

 

Did this in 20ish minutes just off the top of my head. Probably missing several important ones but whatever. In no order.

Goodfellas
Adventureland
From Russia with Love
Moonlight
The Thing
Zodiac
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Blade Runner 2049
The Big Lebowski
Hubie Halloween
Gone in 60 seconds
Fast Five
Tommy Boy
Punch Drunk Love
Mission Impossible: Fallout
Home Alone
Thief
Sorcerer
Mad Max: Fury Road
Forgetting Sarah Marshall

 

I don't even know if I've seen 20 movies.

Here are 5 that come to mind though as definite favorites, and movies I've seen time and time again and always think 'damn, what a classic'.

Sixth Sense / Hot Fuzz / Wall-E / The Matrix / Back to The Future.

 

It's at least giving me faith that it holds up. I held off on including it on mine because it's probably been almost a decade since my last watch, but lord knows I loved it in college.

 

Everyone's got banging lists. I love the movies!

 

It's been good seeing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood make lists, I'm of the growing opinion that it may be Tarantino's best. Also love seeing Punch Drunk Love because it's definitely a personal favorite.

 

I think it’s his best for sure

 

Jackie Brown is close tho

 

I watched it again recently and if anything I have even more appreciation for it now. I love it so much.

 

yeah I think it’s his best. And Punch Drunk Love was one of the first movies I saw that changed how I thought about/viewed movies.

 

Not strict at all with the order, and so many can be swapped out for another banger. Movies are good.


1. Dazed & Confused (Richard Linklater, 1993)
2. Goodfellas (Martin Scorsese, 1990)
