I missed the last half of the reveal because I couldn't stay up any longer, but I expected to miss the entire thing so being here for half is better than not seeing any of it haha.
I had my nomination
Blue Ruin at #3.
The Last Picture Show was my #9. It didn't connect with me, but out of the other films at the very bottom of my list, if I had to rewatch one I'd probably pick it.
I'm sad that
I, Daniel Blake didn't do better. I was hoping for it to win, though I didn't personally rank it at the top of my ballot. I was close though, at #2. I quite liked
Mildred Pierce, but there were just so many other films in this HoF that I also liked, that it ended up down at #7.
The Matrix was the film I had at #1. It's one of my all time favourites.
Inglorious Basterds was part of that set of three I struggled to decide the order of the most. It ultimately fell behind
Joker and
Dronningen and landed at #6.
Here's my full list:
01. The Matrix (1999)
02. I, Daniel Blake (2016)
03. Blue Ruin (2013)
04. Joker (2019)
05. Dronningen (2019)
06. Inglorious Basterds (2009)
07. Mildred Pierce (1945)
08. Shine (1996)
09. The Last Picture Show (1971)
10. State of Siege (1972)
11. Waco: The Rules of Engagement (1997)
I really enjoyed this Hall of Fame. Thanks for hosting raul! And congrats on picking another winning film ahwell!
