Movie Ratings

I'm going to count down from my least favorite of the films that we watched to my favorite.

10. Freaks - The only reason that Freaks was my least favorite is that I completely missed that unit somehow. So I cannot fairly rank it. So, I guess now I can get onto my actual ranking.

9. Awara - While I did enjoy watching Awara, it was kind of hard to actually get through. Between the dream sequence and the super-cheesiness it just wasn't quite as good as the majority of things we watched.

8. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - Okay, so I know this film is supposed to be the best one or whatever and all, but I didn't care too much for it. I know that its length was due to awesome camera-work and tons of detail, but it just got pretty boring after a while. I mean, it would break free from that for a bit, but then it went right back to being boring.

7. Sherlock Jr. - I thought Sherlock Jr. was fantastic and really clever and funny. The only reason it's not higher on my list is because I enjoyed the other films more. But this one was great.

6. Killer of Sheep - I put Killer of Sheep at number six, mostly because of its importance. I thought it was really new and refreshing, and although it was not filled filled with action/drama/what-have-you, it was fun to watch for other reasons.

5. The Vanishing - This film was terrifying and great. I'm still worried about every person that I love being abducted and buried alive. Maybe not the buried alive part, but you get my point.

4. My Own Private Idaho - This film, from its Shakespearean dialogue to its awesome visuals, was excellent. It was so much fun to watch and it was also an important film. Well, maybe not it specifically, but the movement was super important.

3. O Brother, Where Art Thou? - I kind of meant to put this film lower on my list, but it can get the number three spot, mostly due to my laziness. I thought it was great though, even after seeing it a few times before. It doesn't get old, and it's even more fun to watch when you get all of the references.

2. Wendy and Lucy - I loved this movie. I'm not really sure why, but I just couldn't stop watching it. I've made a few people watching it after doing that unit.

1. Moonrise Kingdom - Yeah, yeah, that was a pretty obvious pick. This film was one of the most fun movies to watch that I've ever seen. It had been a while since I was that into a movie and it was great. It made me go back and watch Anderson's films again.
