a selection of 25 films from my letterboxd list “of all time”
this is not a list of the best movies, it is not a list of my favorite movies, it is a list of the most “of all time” movies1. it makes sense to me, if it makes sense to you also then that's great.
sorted in descending release order because i hate ranking things
yes i do have a lot of 5-star bangers in here but i also have a lot of Not Those so take it as you will
I agree that Gemini Man and Romeo&Juliet are both "of all time" movies. They are two of the movies of all time.
i was fortunate enough to see Gemini Man in one of the few theaters playing it in HFR Dolby Cinema 3D (the Metreon in SF, the way the director intended, etc etc) and it was genuinely one of the most incredible moviegoing experiences of my life. the worst thing about that movie is i will never be able to see it that way again
I think "talking heads: stop making sense", "dark city", and "house (1977)" could be strong contenders for this list
i've never actually seen dark city or house but strong agree on stop making sense
incredible list, one might even call it the list of all time. btw, we watched a serious man on your recommendation a couple years ago and it remains a favorite of mine!
Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula definitely deserves a spot on this list. one of the most movies of all time to be sure. if you havent seen it, do so, and you'll know exactly what i mean just from like the opening prelude leading up to the credits. most film ever
