As I said in the very beginning and will reiterate, to our Wonderful, Wonderful Host @
SpelingError and the Magician Behind the Curtain @
Yoda, The Ayatollahs of Rock n Rollas,
And to my fellow MoFos,
My Love, My Esteem, My Admiration, and Appreciation!
God Bless Each and Every Godd@mn One of Ya, and for those select few, May the Devil Kiss your brow with Sincere Love as you sleep
And if I may, my final words on the final three:
My # 1, at #3? Oh


3. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014, Wes Anderson) 398 points
Deputy Kovacs: Did he just throw my cat out of the window?
Had never been a fan of Anderson. I had struggled through many of his movies, from the very first: Bottle Rocket, until I had simply given up on him somewhere around Darjing. His humor seemed a little too off-kilter and awkward for my tastes, and things always seemed to drag to a near standstill for me. Finally, accepting the fact that, apparently, Anderson was not for me.
Then, on an impulse, having read a couple of favorable reviews here, I took a chance on Budapest, and for me, EVERY thing worked this time around. I laughed; I got caught up in the quirky eccentricities of each character, the pacing was ideal, and the imagery was fantastic to behold. With every rewatch, I fell more and more in love with this movie. At one point posting "It's official, this is a 5 out of 5 popcorn for me."
2. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015, George Miller) 436 points
Quite the very impressive Revival of the Mad Max saga that I hated cutting but knew it'll still place high, though I never imagined it'd be at #2. F@ckin BRAVO MoFo!!
#1 and my #10
1. Parasite (2019, Bong Joon-ho) 521 points
I've been a fan of Director Bong Joon Ho and an even bigger fan of the father played by Kang-ho Song since I first saw him playing The Weird in
The Good, The Bad & The Weird and here we get a wonderful blend of genres that Ho has done extraordinary work in, creating something funny, dark, and as we proceed deeper within, disturbing. But what a ride it is!

Said it before in the 2nd Animated HoF and it bears repeating:
"While it is impossible NOT to state the cliche, this IS a heartwarming and life-affirming film, and bless you, @Miss Vicky for nominating it!"
