49/100 for me. Very very happy to see The Florida Project where it is, Lady Bird is waaay too high up

#363

I actually really liked Ladybird bit bemused to see The Social Network that high though.

#364

The Social Network is fucking amazing, would easily be in my top 5 of the decade

I want to rewatch it as Iā€™m the same, really like Fincher and have seen all of his but that one didnā€™t stand out as even one of his best, nevermind compared to other films beyond his work.

I did really like Lady Bird too! Itā€™s great. I just feel like for some reason I canā€™t get, itā€™s been chosen as ā€œThe Oneā€ high school teen drama type thing to get taken really seriously and treated with respect and lavished with praise. Itā€™s not that it doesnā€™t earn it, I just think a good handful of other films do that thing just as well or better and they consistently get overlooked. Itā€™s been my Thing for a while now to be annoyed by this hah - and to finish my bit off, where was Edge of Seventeen!

I should really watch it again to make sure itā€™s worth all the words Iā€™ve put behind it :sweat_smile: Maybe a Christmas plan

nah, itā€™s great

I wish teen movies had been this sincere when I was a teenager (though tbf I probably wouldnā€™t have watched them).

I suppose we had Superbad

annoying when the internet is all like ā€œomg the ending explainedā€ articles as if thereā€™s some thing thatā€™s going to happen at the end and then i got round to watching the film and iā€™m expecting some MOMENT and it never happens because theres nothing to explain its just films have stories and thats what happens in the story and everyone understandss ss s

anyway . midsommerā€™s pretty good iā€™m into maypoles may queens and garlands anyway so itā€™s my kind of thing.

Just going to say can we hold off on doing any Best Film of the Year thread until after Boxing Day this year because thatā€™s when Little Women is out (Iā€™ve heard itā€™s good!)

Good list! Still 11 I need to see.

Yas Spider-Verse

60/100 on that one. Green Room has been so overrated on both of those lists (The Master too but thatā€™s a different story)

So irked by a big chunk of the internetā€™s need for everything to fit in sort of conventional boxes where narrative is concerned; like that niche YouTube series I nerd out about all the time: Petscop. It ended (more or less) this year telling a compelling and ambiguous story, and thereā€™s a bunch of half-punctured beanbag academics who read the Amazon preview of a hacky screenplay manual going on about how its not a ā€œsatisfyingā€ ending as if ambiguity, mystery, prioritising other aspects over plot is some kind of mistake

Just get into the film, man
