Marty Supreme has Kevin O'Fuckwit Leary in it, so auto disqualified. Safdie thinks he's so edgy casting non actors, when anyone with a SAG card can act circles around that fucking turnip. They can both fuck all. the way off. You didn't like Sinners? I feel like I don't even know you.
I can't do a top 20 yet because I have at least ten more films to see (pre-SAG and Oscar ceremonies). But I'm pretty sure at least half of these 16 will make it onto the final list: BLACK BAG, SINNERS, ZWEI ZU EINS (with Sandra Hüller, Max Riemelt, Ronald Zehrfeld & Peter Kurth), TWINLESS, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, BUGONIA, PLAINCLOTHES, AFTER THE HUNT, HEDDA, FRANKENSTEIN, WAKE UP DEAD MAN, NO OTHER CHOICE, MARTY SUPREME, THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE, HAMNET & ROOFMAN.
I'm very interested in seeing your runners up :)
Do we at least get gratuities of the year countdown?!
Oh, man. I REALLY wanted to like "History of Sound" but watching it felt like an eternity.
He liked Sinners.

TRAIN DREAMS
Sinners would probably make my Top 30. I have some issues with it (a couple of them pronounced) but it's a great time at the movies with several outstanding performances. Obviously I wouldn't vote for it for Best Picture but I 100% understand the love it endears to others and I refuse to be angry that a horror movie has a chance to win the top prize. (I still think OBAA's got it in the bag, which clearly would also be my pick, but who knows)
Excellent list. So happy you included Griffin in Summer. Did not receive the release it deserved and hardly any buzz around the movie. It's streaming now on Hulu.
Great list. "Pillion" all the way. I would add "Twinless." Dylan is SO good. And "Plainclothes" without actually seeing it yet because of Big Ears Tovey and Blyth.
