Throwing in some older tried-and-true recs. Most of these will be high on my list. Only Angels Have Wings, A Star Is Born and Barry Lyndon are in my top 10. Brief Encounter highly recommended to the fans of the Before movies.
The Bourne Identity 8/10
The Bourne Supremacy 7/10
The Bourne Ultimatum 8/10
Rewatched for the first time in 10 years. Deduct a star off each if you weren't obsessed with these movies in your early teens.
Yeah I was left surprisingly cold by it too, though not quite that cold. Hope this doesn't discourage you from checking out The Young Girls of Rochefort though. That might be top 10 of all time for me.
Surely this will only put the lesser-seen films at an even greater disadvantage than they're already at? Rewarding big #s of points with even more points works for summer game which is a test of knowledge but it really doesn't here, imo. It's just gonna turn this into much more of a popularity contest.
idk. they listed 56 films, three times the size of a typical competition line-up (including three other animated films besides Soul). and that's not counting movies that were set to compete but opted for next year instead. maybe da 5 bloods just isn't there because it's not gonna be playing any other festivals or theaters and doesn't need the prestige boost for its netflix release.
