1. Star Wars / ANH
2. Jaws
3. Rogue One
4. The Empire Strikes Back
5. The Godfather
6. The Godfather II
7. The Return of the Jedi

I don't remember what it was last time, who knows what my favorite movies are

 

Oh my god, my last serious list was posted five years ago? And that was the update? Time? What is time?

Anyway no duplicate directors or this would be a mass bombardment of Fritz Lang. Fritz Lang, so hot right now.

1. Metropolis
2. Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens
3. The Godfather
4. Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari
5. Spalovač mrtvol
6. Ran
7. The Irishman
8. Hamlet (1996)
9. Malcolm X
10. Eraserhead

There's a very good reason it changed so much... right behind that curtain. No, the other curtain. Keep going.

 

Still checks out.

 

In no particular order:

Apollo 13
The Fellowship of the Ring (my favorite of the three)
The Empire Strikes Back
The Hurt Locker
Lawrence of Arabia
Star Trek Beyond
Gone With The Wind
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Dark Knight
The Abyss (director's cut, or the ending won't make sense)

 

With the caveat that it drastically changes pretty much every five seconds:

Frances Ha
The Double Life of Veronique
Malcolm X
A Serious Man
Paris is Burning
A Matter of Life and Death
The Tree of Life
Paris, Texas
Chunking Express
Carol

 

Two year update of the "six star" list. Not a whole lot of change. I also haven't been watching much in the way of movies in 2020 because I've been distracted with other things.

57. Life of Pi- 9.5
58. 1917- 9.5

Five additions: The Seventh Seal, The Big Lebowski, BlackKklansman, Moon, and 1917. Also, Dr. Strangelove and Pan's Labyrinth each moved up a spot, and No Country fell five spots.

Of the old things on the list the only things I've rewatched since then are LotR (in a theater marathon environment), Pan's Labyrinth, and Barton Fink.

Of these films, I have since seen North by Northwest (in a theater with The Wrong Man), All the President's Men, and The Seventh Seal, which as you can see I loved.

North by Northwest- 7.5- #11 in 21 movies seen from the 50s
All the President's Men- 8.0- #190 out of 258 on the master list (all movies ranked 8.0 or higher, of which 8.0 scores seem to make up exactly the bottom hundred at this moment. Hm.)
Also, The Wrong Man got a score of 8.0, barely making it onto said list at #252, or #9 on the 50s list.

The most recent addition to the master list is the original Gojira, with a score of 8.0 at place #197, about five weeks ago. I've been making a point of watching a bunch of Godzilla movies for a creative project, before of which I had seen exactly zero. Now I've seen four and counting, mostly from the Showa era.

My average film rating, out of all films I have seen, is around 6.7/10

The Before Trilogy is still taking up space on my harddrive without me having gotten to it...

Oh wait...no...these are my top ten least favorite movies.

 

You know one day, I really do need to rewatch the live-action Transformers movie again, because I went there with an impacted and infected wisdom tooth that day, so that doesn't exactly give me a clear evaluation of the film in that circumstance.

 

Trust me. The infected wisdom tooth was better.

In no particular order.

The Empire Strikes Back
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
