6. Last Picture Show
5. Blue Ruin
4. Mildred Pierce
3. Inglorious Basterds
2. The Matrix
1. I, Daniel Blake

I meant to mention this too. It's like an unnecessary spoof of the Downfall Hitler meme (which was totally serious in the original, and didn't need spoofing, because the meme was the spoof).
