Also I kinda side with Vis on this one, I like Possession but I'm really surprised anyone is calling the performances from that great

Also the kid from Pet Sematary have the best child performance imo

Saying the thing as a hail Mary again

God that's terrible, I'm so sorry. You did the right thing, and I know it's one of the hardest decisions you can make

He was lucky to have someone caring for him as long as he did

The Jungle Book

Yes

You should watch hundreds of beavers

Don't think it's possible for me to catch bitto anymore so I'll say the thing just in case

This is your reminder to see Beetlejuice the Musical

Hey

Ye know what, I need the points

I'll go Nightmare too

Game of Thrones, but Veep if we're talking strictly real world politics

HM to Succession which isn't a strictly political show but basically fits the same category

Six top 3 rankings is awesome though, hell yeah just under half of you

Next has to be possession, I mean there's absolutely gotta be no way it isn't

absolutely never would've guessed The Penitent One would win that match

I'm still guessing Posession

I never got to experience PS Home :(

Legitimately I'd love for them to bring something like this back, it was so cool and just has such a strong feeling of nostalgia to it

I thought Predator as a movie was fine. Predator as a villain itself is fantastic though

guessing Posession again because I'm legitimately shocked it's gotten as far as it has, I thought it would be way more divisive

Penitent

Monteriggioni (Assassins Creed II)

who all remembers Playstation Home? Fun fact: it was quite literally originally just called "Hub"

Ok this one is Possession

Sixthing?

Damn it, should've stuck with that

Wait NM I know what I want to go with

I'll do a writeup later

Is this the week I nominate Die Antword? Hmmm

The Blob was my biggest snub.

It's a sure thing for 50s horror though

The Fog feels like a big exclusion but I probably would've cut it too

Cujo and Children of the Corn I mightve forced in there somewhere though

Francisco

But Andreas was almost simultaneous

Alright I think it's Possession's time

but it just feels like casually popular movies are held to SO much higher of a standard by this group of rankers, and it sucks to see movie after movie after movie that was actually FUN to watch get picked off while the more pretentious films on the list get to just step over that EXTREMELY low bar.

so one of the immediate issues I have with this idea is that it implies that you think people ranking "artsy" films highly aren't actually enjoying watching them, they're just ranking them highly because they're artsy. That is almost 100% not the case.

Like you gave Tetsuo as an example. Tetsuo isn't a movie I would consider pretentious by any means, I mean there's quite literally a guy with a giant drill for a dick. But it's also a movie that I thought was extremely fun. Like you pointed out my score for that compared to Basket Case, and yeah they're far about. They're both gross-out movies that are visually alarming, but the difference is that Tetsuo left me shocked and laughing anytime I wasn't. Compare that to Basket Case, which just left me annoyed and grossed out.

And the thing is, I know you understand the feeling, because it's similar to your opinions on Re-Animator v Basket Case. Re-Animator is gross, with some poorly-aged effects and some pretty bad, campy acting. And yes, it's even kinda rapey. On a surface level, the things that are bad about one are bad about the other, EXCEPT for the fact that it's also just a much more enjoyable movie than Basket Case; it's funny and has a legitimately interesting plot.

As far as "artsiness" goes, yeah, as a very broad statement, I generally enjoy movies more when they make me think, or keep me guessing, or make me feel something. Like Gremlins I don't care for, but it's not because I don't think its artsy enough; it's because I think the Gremlins are annoying and like I mentioned in my write-up, it's a horror comedy that didn't scare me or make me laugh.

Of the movies that are left, I don't know that I'd really call any of them artsy except The Shining (which was inevitably going to make the top 10) and maybe Possession, which I'm legitimately surprised has made it this far. I'm guessing you're putting Henry and Videodrome in there too, but I think those are both horror movies benefitting a lot from being some of the more disturbing entries on this list (which I can speak on more when they drop because I don't want to spoil my rankings)

Small hint for the next one - I'm the highest ranker for it!

Hmmmm

My gut says Hellraiser here because I can't imagine Snake being the top for Posession

God of War II

I remember the opening Hydra fight in God of War being one of the first moments where I was really like "holy shit, video games are actually capable of this?"

And then God of War II improved on it

We the best

Im sorry

Remind me to respond after work because st the very least I can explain my perspective

Henry makes top 10 I predict

MAYBE top 5 but the amount you dislike it makes me think not

btw I'd recommend people look at the videos Knower does of recording the songs with full big bands in a tiny apartment, they're always a blast
