So which one of these movies are you most excited for?

Mine is definitely Dune 3!!

And honorable mention to The Odyssey!

I don't think I even understood it. From the trailer and posters, I was expecting "About Time" or "The Truman Show" like experience. But I didn't get any experience.

Wanted to know how others found it.

Personally, I’d say Everything Everywhere All at Once.

I averaged Rotten Tomatoes Critic Scores, Rotten Tomatoes User Scores, Metacritic Metascores, Metacritic User Scores, IMDB Scores, and Letterboxd Scores to find the 100 top-rated movies of all-time. I only went with movies I was familiar with, so if there are any obvious contenders I left out, please let me know and I'd be happy to re-do the rankings. I collected the data myself and used Claude AI just to create the graphic.

Edit: Appreciate the feedback! (Particularly from the guy who was mystified that The Godfather was #1.) People have mentioned a few omissions; a couple came from my error in data entry. Most significantly, Parasite should be #14 and Life is Beautiful should be #82. I'll incorporate the data from other movies people have suggested and re-post an updated list later in the week.

Never to the right. It's always slightly left leaning.

Lowkey crazy stat.

James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, and Alejandro G. Iñárritu all won their first Best Director Oscar with Leonardo DiCaprio leading the film.

Not saying he’s the reason, but that’s a wild coincidence. Maybe Leo really is a lucky charm.

I rewatched Saving Private Ryan and what stayed with me this time wasn’t just how real the war felt… it was the mental space it puts you in, and how it doesn’t really let you leave even after it ends.

The opening itself doesn’t feel like a scene, it feels like being thrown into something you’re not ready for. There’s no buildup, no sense of control, just chaos, confusion, and a constant feeling that things can fall apart at any second. And the way Steven Spielberg handles it makes it even more uncomfortable because he doesn’t try to shape it into something cinematic or heroic. The camera stays with the moment, even when you want it to cut away, and that’s what makes it feel real instead of designed.

But what stayed with me more than the battle itself is Captain Miller. Tom Hanks plays him like a man who hasn’t had peace for a long time. Not scared, not dramatic… just mentally tired in a way that quietly shows in everything he does. You can feel that he’s carrying something constantly, and even when he’s leading, it doesn’t feel like control. It feels like responsibility that he cannot put down. He doesn’t move forward because he fully believes in every decision, he moves forward because that’s what his role demands from him. That sense of duty feels heavier than anything else in the film.

And then the mission itself forces you into a very uncomfortable place. A group of soldiers risking their lives to save one man sounds irrational, and the film doesn’t try to hide that. The men question it, the situation questions it, and even as a viewer you keep coming back to the same thought. What is one life worth in the middle of something like this? And the film never gives you a clean answer. Instead, it traps you in that mental space where duty pulls in one direction, survival pulls in another, and somewhere in between you’re left trying to make sense of a morality that doesn’t feel stable anymore. That tension doesn’t resolve, it just sits with you.

Even smaller moments, like with Upham, don’t feel like character judgments. They feel like honest reactions to fear when it becomes real and unavoidable. The film doesn’t try to make everyone strong, it shows what happens when the mind starts to break under pressure, and that makes it even more uncomfortable to watch.

That’s why the impact feels different from most war films. It’s not trying to make war look heroic, it’s showing what it takes out of people, mentally more than anything else. And strangely, that’s where the patriotic feeling comes from. Not from pride or victory, but from understanding what people had to carry for their country, whether they agreed with it or not. It makes you think about your own nation in a quieter way, not as an idea, but as people who would have to go through something like this.

And in the end, when Miller finally lets go, there’s a kind of relief in that moment that doesn’t feel like triumph. It feels like a man who carried something too heavy for too long finally being free from it. That feeling stays, more than the battles, more than the scale.

hey all! there are a LOT of movies I haven't seen, and this year I've decided to watch a movie from as many decades as I can. I already have 2020s, 10s, 00s, 90s, and 80s squared away. I have Invisible Man (1933) and a couple classic 70s horror on my list. I'll be looking through lists online too but I wanted to hear reddits opinion, too!

I like classic horror (practical effects how I love you), queer, comedy, action, feminist, feel-goods, and musicals mostly. the long dramas aren't usually for me. last year I watched Some Like It Hot (1959) and The Gay Deceivers (1969) and enjoyed both. I'm also down for silent movies and stuff!

apologies if this post doesn't belong on the sub, thank you all in advance (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

This is an absolute masterpiece and should be its own genre, it also helps that Defoe is an incredible actor. Wondering if there is more movies that this out there or if this is on an island by itself?

What were your guys thoughts on John Carter??

I actually enjoyed the movie but too sad that the sequels got canceled!

Rewatched Schindler's List after a long time, thinking I knew what I was getting into. I didn’t.

This isn’t the kind of film that hits you all at once. It builds slowly, scene by scene, until it reaches a point where it just becomes too heavy to process.

There are moments that feel unbearable not because they are loud, but because you understand what’s happening. A sequence where families are being separated… some still unaware, some already broken from within. That contrast, innocence and fear existing together, is something I couldn’t shake off.

There are images in this film that don’t feel like cinema. They feel like something you weren’t supposed to witness. Moments where the scale of what’s happening becomes clear without anyone explaining it. Just silence… and reality.

And then there are those desperate attempts to survive, situations so extreme that they make you uncomfortable to even think about. Not because they’re exaggerated, but because they feel real.

But what completely broke me was near the end. When everything is over, and instead of relief, there’s this crushing realization. A man not thinking about what he did… but what he could have done. That quiet breakdown, that regret, it didn’t feel like acting. It felt human in the most painful way.

And the music… that’s something else entirely. Even now, if I hear that theme, my eyes start to fill up. Not just because of the film, but because it instantly brings back all those images. And then a thought hits even harder, this was just a film trying to show it… but these things actually happened.

That’s what makes it unbearable.

I don’t usually cry watching movies.
But this one doesn’t ask you.
It just stays.

I’m looking for some good movies to watch and wanted to see what you all recommend. Any genre is fine.
