Guessing the few who saw Your Name ranked it very high.

Very surprising. It was #14 on my list, and I thought I was one of the higher ones. There's going to be a lot of snubs now, though.

I have a strong feeling that Ready Player One is gonna be bad. The book is pretty bad IMO, though I think it could work better as a film.

 

Never doubt our lord Spielberg.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! GET IN THERE! 

[chasmmi]

Godammit, this brings back the hope that Handmaiden could make it!

 

If it Japanese anime can do it, maybe the Korean Lesbian Drama can?

 

It's fun allowing my dreams to be crushed two days in a row

I think he could get something decent out of it, but the source material was super-disappointing.

the handmaiden is actually smart and its central relationship well realized. so might not appeal to this crowd like your name did.

wow with that being #15, this list may have just gotten that much more interesting

#14

 

Spoiler

Sing Street

 

 

 

 

 

A surprisingly good movie with really good music as well. This movie captures the mid-80s (which itself seems to be the age of peak Nostalgia in 2016) really well and makes it a hattrick of successful musical movies for John Carney  after Once and Begin Again. Kind of disappointing that “Drive it like you stole it” was not even nominated for Best Song.

Absolutely loved this. The best film I've seen since maybe Room, every character was perfectly cast in their roles and the music was just great. Jack Reyner as Conor's brother probably surprised me the most; who knew that the dude from Trans4mers was such a good actor.

I expected this to be a generic quirky indie movie, but it's great. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-WrathofHan

oh, i get it. this is because of how good i said the list was yesterday.

[filmlover]

I finally saw Sing Street on Netflix a few weeks ago and it's such a cute movie. Damn you for screwing it over, Harvey!

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

I honestly didn't put Sing Street in my Top 25 just because how much I hated the ending. Would've been top 20 if not.

[That One Girl]

Damn, I can only imagine getting 7 likes in less than a minute @grim22.

[chasmmi]

I can live with that at 14

You didn't when you were like-manipulating with CJohn?

@Eevin Is #14 good enough for you? 

 

Edit: I take that as a yes? ▼▼

I laughed out loud in sheer delight at a couple of reveals in HANDMAIDEN. 

 

And no, the lesbo scenes weren't one of them. You pervs.
