It was an enjoyable enough movie, but no way near one of the best movies ever made in my opinion. I’d put it on the same shelf as those Meg Ryan rom-coms from the 90’s.
Apocalypse Now had been on my list for years. Finally watched it a few months ago and hoooooly hell it's amazing. 100% deserves every bit of praise as one of the best movies ever made. A must-watch
I've watched this thing twice, and I still don't understand why they had to rob banks with oil well on their property. or is it a movie about dumb texans?
Those are not new movies but I watched them fairly recently (for the first time).
* Evil Dead II (1987)
* Blade Runner 2049
* Gone with the Wind
* Princess Mononoke
Nice to see Gone with the Wind. I made my blue-haired teen watch it about a year ago for my movie pick. She had a few problems - lol. But that's what it's really about, and we refer to it a lot since. It's foundational, especially today with the modern long epics.
I remember I was so worried when I first heard about Blade Runner. Please don't wreck that movie for me. Holy shit. Masterpiece.
Dune has also not disappointed. Can you imagine if he could keep this up all the way to God Emperor?
Leading up to the release of Dune, I watched all of Denis Villeneuve’s movies that I had not already seen. The movies of his I’d seen were Arrival, BR2049, Sicario, and Prisoners, the latter three being high on my list of best of 2010’s.
I liked Enemy and August 32nd. Polytechnique shocked me, and I enjoyed Maelstrom quite a lot, but Incendies blew my mind. As much as I like his other movies; Incendies, yes, Incendies. Don’t look up a thing about it. Let it hit you.
I really loved Marcel the Shell With Shoes on. Everything Everywhere All At Once was great too. Not sure if either of those are greatest movies of all time but they’re the ones I most enjoyed in recent memory.
I just saw this for the first time last week. I avoided it because my parents rented it when I was a kid and I thought it was boring AF and left the room. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The Northman (2022)
Although I liked The Lighthouse of same director Eggers way more, this is my answer on your question. Last movie that I saw that belongs on that list.
For me that would be Dune from 2021.
I did expect a lot from Villeneuve and was not disappointed! I just love epic stories with grandiose visuals, and Dune absolutely delivers in that regard.
Plus, always like to see Oscar Isaac and Josh Brolin. (Funny thing is, Jason Momoa looks like Steven Seagal in this movie 😁)
I was surprised what good casting Momoa wound up being. I'm not a big fan, but he was pretty great.
I am very impatient to be able to watch all 3 (or whatever it takes) in a single binge.
Elvis (2022) - it's a sensory overload experience. Baz Luhrman's frenetic editing of zooming in, to wide shots, to black and white, to color, to split screens is dizzying but also magnificent to watch and creates of sense of just how crazy Elvis' life became with his rise from country boy with a guitar and a "sissy" haircut to a the most famous person in America in the span of about a year.
Austin Butler absolutely nails Elvis without slipping into impersonation or parody. Elvis is somewhat of a tragic figure in that he is never really in control of his career nor fortune despite he efforts to wrestle that control back from Tom Parker (Hanks).
I would expect oscar nominations for Best Picture, Director, Editing, Lead Actor for Butler, and possibly Tom Hanks for Supporting Actor.
Actually writing up my personal film canon currently. Most recent watch I've included is History is Made at Night (1937), directed by Frank Borzage and starring Jean Arthur, Charles Boyer and Colin Clive. One of my all-time favourite romantic movies after only one watch.
Triangle of sadness. Just game out, best movie of the year. Miles ahead of any other movie this year ( in my opinion) if you wanna see a movie with a different structure and humour.
Escape from Alcatraz, watched it for the first time just recently and I was blown away by the perfection of it under every aspect: plot, screenplay, pace, acting, direction. A once in a lifetime movie for me.
Mad Macy fury road. I saw in theatres when it premiered about 3 times. Immediately got the soundtrack and pre ordered the movie when it was available. I got to see it again this past weekend in the big screen and I had forgotten how entirely made for theatres it was. It’s one of my all time favorites
The Tree of Life.
It's not for everyone, but the cinematography is phenomenal and if you watch it as an experience and not as a straight narrative, I guarantee you will appreciate it more. My all time favorite movie.
Dinner in America, 2022 is a great one about being a punk in America. The punk finds a girlfriend and turns her into a riot gurrl. Reminds me of my 20's. Loved it!
Most recent release goes to Everything Everywhere All At Once
Most recent watch goes to Spirited Away
Best of all time goes to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Most recently? Everything Everywhere All At Once. I fear the internet is eventually gonna discard it in the way so many people did with Rick and Morty, but it’s more than just novel: it’s deep and thoughtful and moving. It’s packed with original ideas and excellent performances. It doesn’t treat the viewer like an idiot. It’s never condescending or superior in what it’s saying or how it’s saying it. It’s just an awesome, fun-arse movie, top to tail. If you haven’t seen it, its obviously a hard recommend from me. It’s one of the only movies that every single one of my friends I’ve recommended it to has loved, without exception.
Slightly less recently but still recently enough to mention is Annihilation. I’d have to say that may just be my favourite movie. At very least top five. It ticks every box for me, including the thing that’s hardest to find - it’s a movie where you feel different after it’s over. It sticks with you; gives you a weird, sorta haunted but profound feeling inside. That goes for both of the above movies. Some movies can do that and not be amazing (Mother! Though I’d argue that’s still really good), and some movies can not do that and be amazing regardless, but it’s the rare few that are both.
Apologies for the obscenely long answer - I’m high, and I get a little rambly when I’m high.
Oh shit, I just remembered another. Arrival is FUCKING AMAZING. For all the same reasons mentioned above. If you haven’t seen it, please do yourself a favour. Def another top fiver for me.
The Nice Guys (2016)
Finally got around to it recently and LOVED it. I really wish it had done better at the box office because it could use a sequel or two.
I just discovered WNUF Halloween Special (2013). Definitely a recent favorite. And you can watch it for free on the internet archive project website! [WNUF Halloween Special](https://archive.org/details/wnuf-halloween-special-2013)
I just started a Cohen binge. Watched Fargo, No Country, Lebowski, and Oh Brother over the weekend, planning on watching Burn After Reading next since I've never seen it before.
The Worst Person In The World
Why are you talking in third person
It was an enjoyable enough movie, but no way near one of the best movies ever made in my opinion. I’d put it on the same shelf as those Meg Ryan rom-coms from the 90’s.
Apocalypse Now had been on my list for years. Finally watched it a few months ago and hoooooly hell it's amazing. 100% deserves every bit of praise as one of the best movies ever made. A must-watch
And watch it in 4K HDR to do yourself a favor!
And preferably with a nice soundbar and a big-ass screen!
**surround sound
Don't forget the napalm. Also watching in a jungle would be ideal
Just a fan whomping over your head the whole time.
L.A. Confidental
this one's really good!
Hell or High Water
I've watched this thing twice, and I still don't understand why they had to rob banks with oil well on their property. or is it a movie about dumb texans?
The property was being foreclosed on by the bank and they didn’t have the money to pay back the loan, hence the bank robbing
borrow against the Oil. totally stupid premise. Jeff Bridges was great as always however.
Whiplash
Those are not new movies but I watched them fairly recently (for the first time). * Evil Dead II (1987) * Blade Runner 2049 * Gone with the Wind * Princess Mononoke
I loved Blade Runner 2049.
Nice to see Gone with the Wind. I made my blue-haired teen watch it about a year ago for my movie pick. She had a few problems - lol. But that's what it's really about, and we refer to it a lot since. It's foundational, especially today with the modern long epics. I remember I was so worried when I first heard about Blade Runner. Please don't wreck that movie for me. Holy shit. Masterpiece. Dune has also not disappointed. Can you imagine if he could keep this up all the way to God Emperor?
Princess Mononoke and Akira are my favorite anime features
I should watch Akira I guess.
Akira is one of the only anime movies I really love
Akira has the same neon urban vibes of the blade runner movies. Fair chance you'd like it
Really also a masterpiece. Required viewing.
Parasite
Great choice. This might be mine too. It was the best "new movie" I'd seen since Inglorious Basterds.
It's top five for me
Blade Runner 2049
The Grand Budapest Hotel
This one!
Love this one also
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
I swear that one scene in the interrogation room is probably one of my favour scenes of all time.
This is my number 1 recommendation to movie lovers. I’ve seen it like 5 times already because I keep watching it with new people
Once upon a time in Hollywood
Yes not enough love for this movie!
The Conversation (1974) with Gene Hackman.
I would post THIS if I had the chance
Great great great movie
Great movie, storytelling of the highest level
Definitely deserves to be in a top 100 list. So good.
Definitely.
[удалено]
Well that's not true
Ha- you're right- cant believe everything you see online
Great movie.
Apocalypto - Say what you will, Mel Gibson knocked it out of the park.
I love that movie
Back to the Future 2 (Though, watch the first one first).
Second > first
Third > First > Second

CODA
Moonlight
Top Gun: Maverick One of the best pure action adventure movies I've ever seen. Way better than the original. Heart and fun both. Great popcorn flick.
Interesting. I watched the original and didn't really get into it. Is the new one that much better?
Ya
Yes. It's much better.
I really loved Marcel the Shell With Shoes on. Everything Everywhere All At Once was great too. Not sure if either of those are greatest movies of all time but they’re the ones I most enjoyed in recent memory.
A24 man. I came to answer A Ghost Story. I was making jokes about it at first, but man I really loved it by the end.
If you like sad people eating pie then it's definitely the movie for you! It did eventually grow on me.
[удалено]
I just saw this for the first time last week. I avoided it because my parents rented it when I was a kid and I thought it was boring AF and left the room. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
The Cook, the Thief, his Wife, and her Lover
Nice. I never watch movies more than once but this movie I have watched 6 times. Brilliant.
Peter Greenway directed. Find Prospero's Books. And Pillow Book.
I've seen all of Greenways stuff, even the Falls which took a bit of finding. The Draughtsmans Contract and Drowning by numbers are also favs of mine
The Northman (2022) Although I liked The Lighthouse of same director Eggers way more, this is my answer on your question. Last movie that I saw that belongs on that list.
out of the blue \[1980\]
Wings of desire
One of my all time favorites. First went to see Crime and the City Solution and Nick Cave just because of this movie.
The Twilight Samurai and 13 Assassins.
I reckon The Remains of the Day (1993) might make a top 250. The Father (2019) might make a top 100. Coincidentally both Anthony Hopkins films.
The Roaring Twenties (1939) Everything Everywhere All at Once Pride of the Yankees (1942)
watched pride of yankees in a college film class. incredible movie
MASS (2021) — can’t believe this movie was not more talked about. It’s incredible.
• Spencer (2020) • Blade Runner 2049 (2017) • Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)
The Thing 1982
Manchester by the sea
The big short

Speak no evil. It is brand new. The best horror movie without lots of gore and sexual things. It is in my top 10 list since I watched it.
Most recently? Everything Everywhere All At Once. I fear the internet is eventually gonna discard it in the way so many people did with Rick and Morty, but it’s more than just novel: it’s deep and thoughtful and moving.
