My Favorite Films
Published on August 16, 2023. (Last updated on October 22, 2024.)
Here is my attempt to rank my favorite films I've seen. For franchises, I will only include one film per franchise, with the film I chose to include being my favorite from the franchise. But in general, if I include a film from a franchise, I recommend the whole series.
- Interstellar (2014) - Masterpiece in character, plot, and theme (the space theme fits perfectly)
- Inception (2010) - Masterpiece in character and plot
- Shutter Island (2010) - Amazing storytelling and excellent at making you question yourself (you really feel like the protagonist in this one)
- The Prestige (2006) - Amazing plot and plot twist
- Dune: Part 2 (2024) - Immersive world, excellent character building, and unique plot
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) - Masterpiece in plot (the plot never feels "forced") and motivation (specifically regarding the characters).
- Sherlock Holmes (2009) - Masterpiece in character. I historically haven't been a big fan of the second one but since it has started to grow on me. I still think I prefer the first though.
- Tenet (2020) - Masterpiece in plot
- Oppenheimer (2023) - Masterpeice in immersion (Although this is very likely due to watching it in IMAX. I don't think it would hit as hard at a home theatre.)
- Dunkirk (2017) - Masterpiece in tension
I'll update this list often as I watch more movies.
