Rauldc14's Top 119 Films

I really like Moonrise Kingdom now after not enjoying the first time. The General is also very good.

115. Arrival



I haven't said a lot about this film, and I have only seen it once. But it is a film that I thought about a lot afterward and it is a film that certainly has a lot to digest. It's visuals and sound effects are it's strengths which isn't to diss the film rather it makes the film stand out even more for me. I think Amy Adams deserved more praise than what she got for this film as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing this again soon, giving it a proper review, and buying it and adding it to my collection. In a very strong year for films, this was certainly one of the standouts.

Moonrise Kingdom is my favorite Wes Anderson movie. I could see it slipping into my top 50.

I WILL watch Arrival before Sunday.

Raul is loving 2016. I want to see Arrival again. I have liked all the Villenueve I have seen but have yet to be blown away by any. Arrival and Sicario have the best chance of doing that I think.

I think around 5 or so I would consider new all time favorites, it was a pretty good year. 2014 is still the best year of the decade though, in my eyes.

Yes, 2016 has been excellent. Perhaps even the best year since 2007.

That's a big statement. If I feel about three of these the way I do No Country, Zodiac, and There Will Be Blood I will be one happy film watcher.

I haven't seen Arrival. Can't say I have any interest in it either.

I like T2, but I was bored before the end of it the first time I saw it. At a preview screening. When I knew so little about it that I didn't even know that Arnie was the good guy.

Not a fan of Villenueve what i've seen from him really and i struggle with sci-fi sometimes so doubt i'd like that. Will try it at some point anyway.

Don't know if i agree with Raul's statement but i do think from what i watched at least that 2016 was a very good year.

I saw Arrival this past weekend, a very good film at the very least.

I have loved 2016 in film as well.

I just found this thread, cool idea

So is that giant starfish the alien in Arrival?

So far so good, I liked everything I've seen that you listed. Mostly, The Lucky Ones
and T2. Alright carry on.

114. Porco Rosso



Miyazaki is the most imaginative director for me. The way he tells stories are so creative and fascinating to me, and this movie is no different. While there are more Miyazaki to come, this one feels as if it may be his most personal film. And I always love it when people are attached to certain projects of their own. Obviously Miyazaki has a great fondness for planes, as illustrated in this movie. It's a real fun watch that I would recommend to those who haven't gotten to it.

I hate Ponyo the most, but Porco Rosso was pretty high on my list of least favorite Miyazakis.

Not a big fan of Porco Rosso. I do want to give it another shot since Castle of Cagliostro improved greatly on my second watch.

Not seen that one yet.

Porco Rosso is probably second, or third on my Miyazaki list, it just might be his most fun movie.
