Weird. I thought the reception to Blue Ruin was mostly lukewarm. Guess it was warmer than I thought.

My ballot:

1. Joker
4. Shine
5. Dronningen
6. Blue Ruin
7. The Last Picture Show
9. Waco: Rules of Engagement
10. State of Siege

Blue Ruin was my second and the one that almost took the first place for me. Love it. It became a favorite for me with this rewatch.

Last Picture Show was my 9. I liked the idea of it more than I liked the film. But it’s one of those that might grow on me.

Tied 4th: I, Daniel Blake

I had them at:

#2 The Last Picture Show
#3 Blue Ruin

I'd seen The Last Picture Show but it was well worth rewatching again.

I was surprised at how much I liked Blue Ruin, it was because it didn't linger on the violent scenes like Tarantino would've. Very cool, more obscure nom, I like those.

I, Daniel Blake was my 3rd. Honestly 1 to 3 was a really really close run. Love them all. And this was a first watch that really hit me. Great film. Definitely gonna check out more Loach after this.

For as much as I loved I, Daniel, it only made #7 for me, glad to see it do so well

mine so far:
1) Joker (#7)
2) Blue Ruin (#6)
3)
4) The Last Picture Show (#5)

6) Shine (#9)
7) I, Daniel Blake (TIE #4)
8)
9) State of Siege (#10)
10) Waco: The Rules of Engagement (#11)
11) Dronningen (#8)

Late here!! But here is my ranking so far

2. The Last Picture Show
5. I, Daniel Blake
6. Queen of Hearts
7. Blue Ruin
8. Shine
9. Waco
10. Joker
11. State of Siege

I had I, Daniel Blake at #8, what is it tied with?

Waco was number one for me. I think it was the most compelling and even handed film representing the FBI raid as unjust.
Had Blue Ruin last

Tied 4th: Mildred Pierce (actually they tied for 3rd theoretically)

I've seen a couple of revenge films that had a more cerebral aesthetic that were very good and Ruin easily joins them

Mildred Pierce was my #4, great movie.
