I've been trying to make my own list but apparently there are only Three Good Movies
probably will add everything everywhere all at once
Forgot how much I loved City of God! And maybe Interstellar, the only nolan film that i really love
@wallhackio you’re lying if you don’t add the incredibles to your list
@aescling @wallhackio not everything everywhere all at once?
@wallhackio @aescling mad max fury road
@aescling @wallhackio have u watched Ip Man
@wallhackio @aescling u wld probably not put it in yr top ten then
@wallhackio @aescling it’s very watchable imo and i think you would enjoy it regardless (it is prob on netflix?) but me trying to go “okay but THIS martial arts movie has better and more subtle camerawork and fight choreo than any of the others” is meaningless if you don’t particularly care about fight choreo
@aescling @wallhackio M says also watch her copy of Red Cliff (2008)
@aescling @wallhackio she says she has already told u this so if you’ve watched it you should text her yr review
@aescling @wallhackio u risk loosing your nagging æsc about kill la kill privileges
@wallhackio @aescling anyway i refuse to believe you saw 0 good movies between 2000 and 2010 you should consider this era more deeply if u want a good overview of the 21st century
@aescling @wallhackio valid but may be worth going back and revisiting some of the more notable ones at least
@aescling @wallhackio have you seen Mulholland Drive (dir. David Lynch, 2001)
@wallhackio @aescling neither have i but we should sometime

@Satsuma @aescling not that you asked, but r/criterion had a thread where redditors shared their personal choices from https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/movies/reader-ballot-movies-21st-century.html.
I tracked the results long enough until I got bored and it resulted in the following most popular choices:

@wallhackio @aescling lmao i was unaware either the NYT or reddit had included it (tho not terribly surprised)
re: no image desc
@aescling @wallhackio what do you mean by objectively?
re: no image desc
@wallhackio @aescling ahhhh
well i suspect the actual issue is that fewer people have watched tale of princess kaguya
re: no image desc
@wallhackio @aescling which is indeed infuriating
re: no image desc
@Satsuma @aescling I was also suprised that there was only one vote for Tar from what I saw. After this poll: https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2024/11/7/critics-poll-the-best-films-of-the-2020s-so-far
I thought Tar was starting to get its (extremely deserved!) flowers but I guess not enough regular filmgoers have seen it
re: no image desc
@Satsuma @aescling also, it is absolutely devastating that spider-verse is Objectively Better than the tale of princess kaguya
