somehow I forgot Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
19. The VVitch (2015) 20. Gremlins (1984)'
are out. Fear and Loathing is top 10 easily. Holy grail somewhere in top 20.
Dunno how I forgot, I've seen those no less than 15 times each.

Well you won't get me to poopoo Alien, it's one of my favorites too.
I can see why Interstellar would be a "questionable" pick though, it seems like the movie was a bit divisive.
I like everything Nolan has made, they're all good movies-- but none of them were *great*--until Interstellar. It was my personal favorite movie of the last decade. It just worked for me.
Watching for the first time, was absolutely captivated by the prospect of the 3 different planets they could settle on. "I can't wait to see see what they're gonna find." The narrative hook was so strong. It's rare for me to be THAT excited for "what's going to happen next."
The emotional core of the movie between McConaughey and his family kept it grounded, and felt very real to me. The scene where he's getting the messages from his family was my favorite bit of the whole film.
The action set pieces, though somewhat brief, were extremely intense and well earned through the storytelling.
The music was fucking amazing.
I've got a high tolerance for abstract storytelling, so I enjoyed the ending as well.

I like the list. Everything there 4/5 for me except holy grail which is 5/5 and shoulda been on mine.
Labyrinth is awesome and almost made my list too.
Lost Highway fave lynch movie? It's rare to see it as number 1, but I do love it.

agreed about Robocop 2
I think I watched R 1 more times that's why
similar case with Iron Man 3 - it's not that bad, but not as good as 1 and 2 - so it's not on the list. Gwyneth Paltrow is not my fav actress btw.
T1 - classic dark thriller T2 - too much cheese and Sarah Connor gets on my nerves. I view it as an extended version of a Guns N Roses MTV video. Not bad but not great either.
T3 - almost self-parodic, quite a lot of [dark] humour, very intense since minute 1, not stopping, Judgement-Day-begins-in-a-few-hours dynamics, Robert Brewster pressing the key, Terminatrix.....it's just my fav Terminator movie.
I thought about Christoper Walken now and how I never have time to get back to exploring his filmography, so adding
The Dead Zone
to the list

if you count goofs and plot holes in both T2 and T3 - T3 might surely have more of them but idc. I've watched T3 lots of times and it's always fun to watch.

certainly will watch that then
p.s. the other day i saw Prey, on Disney+ it's great of course then i also rewatched Predator 1 (will have to watch 2, as well). without the nostalgia factor, it might be the lesser movie. at least it's not sexist, just over the top macho, which just rules

@big lol I try not to watch all the other Predator movies, all the AvsP could be good - if they were made in EU ? Not in Hollywood ? Lol so sure about this, the more I consider that. Imagine Trier doing that.....hahah
The "franchise" is so mixed these days so..
I usually just come back to Aliens 1, 2, 3, 4 [ yes, even 4 is funny to myself] and Predator 1 and 2. And I sometimes try to watch Prometheus.
I really hoped for Prey being something, tried to watch it a few times, but no. So woke beyond plot reasons. Just ridiculously sad.
If you're sensitive to that "sexist" shit - be aware of Predator 2 indeed :)
