Promo shot for KATLA (2021). Grima looking to the left, burning lava superimposed on her image, an erupting volcano in the back.

25. KATLA (Season 1) (2021)

Well-done from the story point of view.

Scene from Lazarus (2025). The five main characters looking at a computer screen.

24. Lazarus (Season 1) (2025)

Nice concept and execution, but nothing special.

Scene from Dept. Q (2025). The lead character (Carl) walking into a dilapidated office.

So much fun! I hope it gets renewed.

Scene from Alice in Borderland (2020-2022). Alice and Usagy standing in front of burning cars in the tree-covered ruins of Tokyo.

22. Alice in Borderland (Season 1-2) (2020-2022)

If you get past the tropes, the plot armors, and the dramatics, the concept is great, and the characters are very engaging.

Scene from Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (2012). Adama standing in his ship on the dock.

21. Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome (Season 1) (2012)

Good addition to the lore.

Scene from English Teacher (2024). The main character standing in front of a black board.

20. English Teacher (Season 1) (2024)

Fun. In the tradition of American (US) sitcoms.

19. School Spirits (Season 1-2) (2023-2025)

It definitely improves in the second season. The concept is great and the characters engaging, although the writing is a bit clumsy.

Scene from A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014). A black-clad figure is following a woman in a suit and high heels on a deserted street, only one lamp post giving light.

43. (11.) دختری در شب تنها به خانه می‌رود (A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night) (2014)

Another great movie! The atmosphere is brilliant.

Scene from Flowers of Shanghai (1998). A small, lamp-lit room. An Asian woman in a blue dress is sitting in the front lighting a pipe. Someone is walking into the room.

42. (10.) 海上花 (Flowers of Shanghai)

So much life in a few small rooms. The action is in the conversation, so attention is necessary.

Scene from The Rose of Versailles (2025). Oscar looking at the camera.

41. The Rose of Versailles (2025)

Wonderful animation, but felt more like a recap. If one wants the complexity, one should probably watch the series.

Scene from Dune: Part 2 (2024). Paul Atreides standing on a cliff, raising a knife, looking down at a large crowd.

40. Dune: Part Two (2024)

A rewatch.

Scene from Dune (2021). A shot of a desert.

39. Dune (2021)

A rewatch.

Scene from Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). Charles in a suit for a wedding and Scarlett in a peach-pink coloured dress running through the streets of London.

38. Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

A rewatch.

Scene from Sátántangó (1994). Three man in a forest, one is kneeling, the other two are standing with their backs to the camera. All of them are looking at a building half-covered by mist.

37. (9.) Sátántangó (1994)

I think it is absolutely possible to watch it in one sitting, although I couldn't because of other considerations. Mesmerizing movie. Incredible cinematography, blocking, pacing.

Promo shot for Mountainhead (2025). The four main characters are standing in front of a large window, a snowy mointain top visible beyond it, and a fireplace right behind them. They have phones in their hands and are looking at the camera.

36. Mountainhead (2025)

Good satire, boring characters (but I'd guess that is also a part of the satire).

Scene from Sleepy Hollow (1999). The headless horseman is preparing to jump into a hole at the base of a gnarled tree.

35. Sleepy Hollow (1999)

A rewatch. Really love this movie.

Scene from the Substance. Elisabeth (in a long pink robe) hoovering in front of an enormous window with a view of LA and a part of a bilboard with Sue on it.

34. The Substance (2024)

Another fun and enjoyable movie. The deliberate exaggerations fit the whole thing very well. The performances were also great.

Scene from North by Northwest (1959). Cary Grant (in a grey suit and a white shirt) as the lead character is running towards the camera from a small plane.

33. (8.) North by Northwest (1959)

So enjoyable! It felt like a Bond-movie, and only after watching did I learn that it was one of the inspirations.

Scene from Predator: Killer of Killers (2025). A Predator crouching on a rooftop in what looks like ancient China. The Moon is shining in the background. The Predator is holding a weapon that looks like a spear.

32. Predator: Killer of Killers (2025)

I really enjoyed it! The stories and the action were good, it was well directed and entertaining.

Scene from Raya and the Last Dragon (2021). Raya and the Dragon (blue and a bit of purple) look at each other on the board of a ship.

31. (7.) Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)

Wonderful story, characters, animation. Engaging from start to finish.

A scene from Emma (2020). Emma and Mr Knightley are looking at each other, in what is (probably) a ballroom.

30. Emma (2020)

A rewatch. Austen adaptations are always fun.

A scene from I Saw the TV Glow (2024). A young, short-haired African-American boy and a young, red-haired white girl are sitting on a sofa. The girl is looking at a TV, mesmerized, the boy is looking at the girl.

29. I Saw the TV Glow (2024)

Worth every minute even if your own metafore is about the power of escapism in TV shows.

Scene from Eraserhead (1977). A lamp on the right, a table on the left, Jack Nance leaning on the table on the right, a deformed infant lying on the table on the left. Black and white.

28. (6.) Eraserhead (1977)

I should definitely watch it again. As a first watch - the anxious, uneasy feeling.

Scene from Nightmare Alley (2021). Bradley Cooper's character walking through a carnival.

27. Nightmare Alley (2021)

The atmosphere was great, but it couldn't engage me.

Scene from Venom: The Last Dance (2024). Eddie (Tom Hardy) in a Hawaian shirt and a touris T-shirt walking through a field, and Venom peeking out on his left side.

26. Venom: The Last Dance (2024)

May I just cut out the Eddie-Venom interactions and watch only those, please?

Scene from Mickey 17 (2025). Two Robert Pattinson in military-style-like clothes looking at the camera. Cold, snowy landscape.

25. Mickey 17 (2025)

Truly fun concept and performances, but it felt like themes were left unexplored, undeveloped.

Scene from Monkey Man (2024). Dev Patel with an angry, daring expression on his face, standing with arms spread horizontally.

24. Monkey Man (2024)

Great action movie!

Scene from What Did Jack Do? (2017). A capuccin monkey sitting on the left side of a table, David Lynch on the right side. Both in suits, a cup of coffee on the left side. A small window looking to a train station centred on the table. Black and white.

23. What Did Jack Do? (2017)

A rewatch. Besides all else I still find it very, very funny.

Scene from Red Dragon (2002). Ralph Fiennes standing with his back to the camera, arms streched horizontally, a tattoo of horns and something else covering his whole back.

22. Red Dragon (2002)

A rewatch.

Scene from Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024). A garden gnome robot walking out of a house into a green lawn/garden. Wallce is standing on the right presenting the gnome, Gromit is standing on the left holding a watering can.

21. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)

So much fun! Great concept and execution.
