So, here’s my rather small list. It’s small because I only put movies I actually enjoyed. There are others I could have put on at the end but they weren’t exactly movies I really enjoyed.

 

Some movies lower on the list are objectively better than other movies at the top, but I wanted to put at the top movies that actually stayed with me for life, one way or another. 

Plus I have a weakness for romcoms, don’t judge!

 

1. Saving Face

 

2. The Birdcage

 

3. Imagine Me & You 

 

4. Boys Don’t Cry

 

5. Everything Everywhere All at Once

 

6. The Miseducation of Cameron Post

 

7. But I’m a cheerleader

 

8. The Way He Looks

 

9. Red, White & Royal Blue

 

10. Blue is the Warmest Color

 

11. The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

 

12. The Perks of Being a Wallflower

 

13. Carandiru

 

14. I Love You Phillip Morris

 

15. Carol

 

16. Nimona

 

17. Love, Simon

 

18. Brokeback Mountain

 

19. To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything!

Ohhhh, Fucking Åmål! I used to love that movie as a teen, it really did teens of the late 90's well, and it was cute to boot! Pity I forgot to include it on my list, oh well.

I just watched Shortbus again after 15 years. It was better than I remembered and I would rank it now as number 3 on my top list (I know, too late). Maybe half a bottle of wine adds to it but definitely in the top 10. It's an underrated gem that most haven't probably heard of. It's rough, raw, and authentic while capturing well early 2000s zeitgeist with its search for meaning and borderline pseudo-artistic manifestation—extra points for the Van Goghian paper house modeling of New York in transitions.

[Kalo]

Im about halfway through scoring. It looks like I may have already found the winner. The placement of 2-5 keeps changing. But the titles are staying the same. I will probably do a top 100. I think there was enough lists sent in. I have already sorted through over 160 titles.

Been scoring most of the day, was hoping to finish, but I think I need to stop now. only 3 1/2 lists left to score.
