Bet he came up with that pun first then shat himself when he had to build a film around it

I’ll put in your top 5 and you can update it if need be?

Finally committed. Can’t believe Cameron Post hasn’t got a single vote yet, it’s going to be this year’s Florida Project.

1 - American Animals
2 - Leave No Trace
3 - Shoplifters
4 - The Miseducation of Cameron Post
5 - You Were Never Really Here

Honourable mentions to Cold War, Sorry to Bother You, Lady Bird, Mary and the Witch’s Flower.

Yeah films!

I’ll vote after xmas as I’ll inevitably watch a couple things then but let the record show I have been 1) very bad at watching films this year and 2) Phantom Thread will be my number 1 anyway so.

I expected so much better from you :roll_eyes:

What are you lining up to watch? I want to catch Lean on Pete, 120 BPM and Columbus - also might still try to get to see the new Spidey film!

why?

Because I was pretty down on PT haha, that’s all. Just saw Boogie Nights for the first time this year and in comparison that left me cold - though it has gone up in my estimation since I actually saw it so that’s something.

Still not watched Boogie Nights actually, it’s the only one of his I never bothered with (despite having it on DVD for years)

The only thing I know I’m going to watch before end of year is Lady Bird

Ah yeah we all have those films. Got The Wrestler for my friend about … 7 years ago? And we plan to watch it every time we meet up and yet never have. Ditto for Lost in Translation which I’m finally going to correct over Xmas. Watch Boogie! Big and sprawling and funny and sad - reminded me of Goodfellas more than anything else, in feel if not content.

Forgot to mention Beast

Still to watch before ranking can be considered definitive:

120 BPM
American Animals
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Mandy
Mary Poppins Returns
Spider-Man: Enter The Spiderverse
Sorry To Bother You

  1. Phantom Thread
  2. You Were Never Really Here

Think that’s all I saw

Most people haven’t seen half of the best stuff, so just vote anyway? All input is valued, plus Phantom Thread is winning handily anyway so it doesn’t need any assistance (spoilers)

Gonna watch Leave No Trace, better be good @saps
