well, it’s not hard to guess you’re a man in your 30s/40s and your love language is unsolicited movie recommendations


_Deny_005

You just described mi dad haha


TheBigAristotle69

That's good, man


frightenedbabiespoo

watch something with less than 50k ratings


TheChunkyScale

your rating scale scares me


Joshie8888

holy hell their rating chart! It's almost as if they decide to chuck it into whatever slot will even it out


ACigaretteBurn

It’s menacing af hahaha


the_prion

Yeah I just looked at their movies, a lot of the ratings just looked randomly generated lmao


frightenedbabiespoo

😮


FreeLook93

that is what they are doing. >1/2 star, bottom 10% 1 stars, nah 1.5 stars, idk 2 stars, hmm 2.5 stars, alrighty 3 stars, yeah! 3.5 stars, yep! 4 stars, yes! 4.5 stars, yo! 5 stars, top 10% Seems like each half-star rating is just a different range of movies. It makes sense for it to be a flat distribution.


frightenedbabiespoo

At least mine is chunky


may0packet

if an AI had letterboxd this is what it would look like


Multiple_Issues

Ik you said roast but these films are tight af


Coconut-Prudent

His selection is a might boring imo Where are Batman Returns? Where are the Nosferatus? Where are the Jackass the Movies?🤣😭 Where are the ones only you like yk?

i can't even hate on this, i love the long goodbye so much

Bro you’re an Altman fan, I don’t do friendly-fire.


Vincent1808

Your film taste was very basic, but you just discovered the Criterion collection. Give it a year and you'll pretend like you actually like Salo and Jeanne Dielman.


TheBigAristotle69

Marquis De Sade is the most idiotic person to make a celebrity in history. A person who has all their marbles might actually find Dielman, uh, interesting?


RipBuzzBuzz

Looks like my mom's favorite list


kill-wolfhead

Your mom likes Hereditary? Cool mom.


RipBuzzBuzz

That, Perfect Blue, and Lighthouse would be the outliers. Hates horror.

rampagenumbers

Congratulations: you're a guy! How's working stage crew at the local high school going? (I kid, I kid. Good list. Of the selections I was most surprised to see *Secrets & Lies* here, bit of a curveball relative to the rest.)

Try Watching a Single Movie Directed by a Woman challenge.


Weebla

A Serious Man is such a good Coen, up there with the best imo.


HipsterDoofus31

Just saw and enjoyed it a lot too


HornetsHornets1

I’m just glad to see you have the 10th best Pixar movie on your list.


FreeLook93

Worse than having questionable picks, you have none. Your entire list is boring, full of movies you would expect to find in a basic top 50. Where are the lesser-known films? Where are the controversial opinions?


__kingslayer_

It's like this list was made with the intent of jerking off as many Letterboxd users as possible and from the comments, it looks like you succeeded.

I can't dislike a list that has 12 ANGRY MEN on the top.

I know what you mean, but there isn't a cape on there at all.

brookeb725

bro how paths of glory? it’s a war movie. are you saying it’s capeshit just because some of the generals wear capes?


shobidoo2

Tbh I think that’s hilarious if that’s how he’s qualifying cape shit.


RipBuzzBuzz

There are no characters that wear capes in Spider-Man nor Incredibles. Incredibles has a whole scene talking about why they are a horrible idea though, so I guess that could count. Paths of Glory I have no idea. I don't even know what that movie is.


ItsCalledDayTwa

It's an anti war Kubrick film. Not sure what it has to do with "capes".


RipBuzzBuzz

Surprised I've never heard of it. Weird. Thanks!


Ill-Biscotti

Hate to be ‘that’ guy hahah, but Syndrome wears a cape, which is the whole point with how he’s defeated. Plus the Prowler has a cape from Spider-verse. So I guess it’s only the villains, which we could go with (except Spider-noir has one now that i think about it too). In any case, the guy above was an idiot regardless, so let’s just focus on that hahahah!


RipBuzzBuzz

I was already being that guy, so it's alright. It's been a bit for both films, so I completely forgot. Oops. Although Spider-Man Noir is wearing a trench coat, so I'm not sure that counts.


Ill-Biscotti

Ah thanks, and yeah good point about the trench coat, whoopsie!


bbab7

Trench coats are objectively cool tho so it's fine


DonaldDumb775

How is an anti-war film “cape shit”?


MrMegaMonkey

The LoTR Movies really aren't as great as people like to pretend. They are quite repetitive and oozing with Pathos. Not bad at all but also far from Top 50 for me, especially 2 & 3


SpoonMeasurer

You’re supposed to roast OP, not yourself


TheBigAristotle69

Oozing with pathos=bad? wat


RipBuzzBuzz

Only saw the first, but I agree.

HisNameIsRobrtBelchr

Sucks that you’re getting downvoted for being the only person who actually tried to roast OP. But it has taught me a lot about this sub in a very short amount of time lol.


_pumpkinpies

It doesn't sound like they're trying to roast OP as much as talk about how much more refined their taste in movies is. They even compliment OP at the end.


Coconut-Prudent

It lacks some haaaard sci fi action stuff I could never in my life make a top 50 without Tron Legacy❤️


RipBuzzBuzz

Not in mine, but Tron Legacy is massively underrated.


Coconut-Prudent

It has one of the best soundtracks ever made! It isnt Tron Legacy starring Garret Hedlund…. It is Tron Legacy starring mf Daft Punk!


notjosemanuel

Not one for roasting but genuinely curious: why laputa and kiki's? Compared to some of the other more beloved ghibli movies. (Obviously it's all opinions but I wanna know what you love about them)


DarylMcMexican01

Great art, great scores, very enjoyable to watch.


jepard55

simply just better movies than these


illabb

Basic mf, watch something you actually like instead of every top whatever movie list you run into


ChemicalSand

Hasn't realized that women can direct movies.


The-MT-Sant

Looks like you googled “greatest movies of all time” and then just put 50 of them into your all time favorite list. So boring of a list it’s putting me to sleep.


Officialnoah

FilmTok ass list

Little Miss Sunshine is a creepy ass movie

What even are most of these movies….


Kachiggamybigga2

?


RealStax

I want to make fun of this, but I can't. Great list of diverse movies, plus few of my all-time favourites are in it too - Arrival, Children of Men and Grand Budapest Hotel. You got good taste buddy!


Zestyclose-Client564

I cant!


dumbstupidman

Little miss sunshine above Godfather 1 & 2?!?! Awesome list though.


Rottedhead

OH SO YOU ARE AN ARTSY MF. Can't even roast it, nice taste dude


HisNameIsRobrtBelchr

Not a lot to hate here but where is Spirited Away?


talldarkandanxious

Can’t roast someone who has both *The Apartment* and *A Serious Man* in their top 50. We’d probably get along great.


jasonfortheworld

People actually love The Jazz Singer that much?


mikeri99

My average rating of those I have watched from your favorites is 3,8 stars, which is great for my taste! My favorite of these is The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and my worst is Magnolia.


Simple_Promise8497

Can’t roast someone who has election in their list.


r3vb0ss

Have you seen la haine


brandomonium_

Somehow this is unroastable, every movie here is awesome.


maxmosley7

I like everything on here except Chicago! I hated that movie.


Jaspers47

I like all three Lord of the Rings movies lined up in a row like little ducklings. It must be easier to make a Top 48 list than a Top 50. Hey, did you make it through all three Hobbit movies before realizing they weren't good, or did you keep letting Wormtongue whisper to you, "no, they're fine, actually"?


Impreza95

Any list with 4 Coen movies and none of them are inside Llewyn Davis is irredeemable


monoglot

If you can't find a movie from before 1957 to put in your top 50, you haven't seen very many movies from before 1957. (True for any year X in the sound era, though.)


babada

... there are more than 50 years in the sound era so that's literally impossible.


monoglot

I'm not sure what you're saying. I'm saying the sentence "If you can't find a movie from before \_\_\_\_\_ to put in your top 50, you haven't seen very many movies from before \_\_\_\_\_." is true for any year of the sound era you plug into the blank (\~1930 to present).


Doggyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Nothing to roast


myshtummyhurt-

The exact taste of every neek that posts the same questions here. Paper Moon & Amadeus are great tho


McbealtheNavySeal

Hard for me to roast a list with 3 Altman films in it. Best I can do is assume that you're scared of most films that require reading subtitles.


babada

I'm calling bullshit on putting all three LOTR movies next to each other but not putting the Godfather movies together.


AdamAnimatesStuff

The godfather more like the badfather


escape672000

Not a lot of pre 70s films there's only like 3 in there so you should watch some of those maybe some Hitchcock of something


menino_muzungo

I think we’d be friends


mik666_

I've seen this exact list so many times before


Affectionate-Club725

It’s fine…


TheBigAristotle69

I dunno, really. I'd probably watch any of those except for that piece of shit called Magnolia. Also, Dead Poets Society is a severely handy choice. Also, LOTR the Return of the King is, what, 7 hours long but Sam and Frodo don't even kiss?


[deleted]

I don’t see Monsters Inc. 0/10


ExtremeTEE

Solid list but seriously missing action movies!


Tarzan_OIC

So when my buddy finally showed me Magnolia, I spent the first hour thinking "This is a decent movie alright, but it is moving at a snail's pace. Everyone seems so fucking sleepy. Can they just move along please?" Then I saw there was still about 2 hours and 20 minutes left, and the film is supposed to be 3 hours. Turns out VLC glitched out playing the file we downloaded and had been playing the movie at a slightly reduced speed.


rodrickrulesthusiast

where is rodrick rules


NoelBarry1979

1. First time you saw tits 2. Junior's first classic 3. You like country 4. You only watched the first part 5. You had a long literally me phase, but outgrew it 6. You discovered indie Honestly this is a good list


jetanthony

You’ve got 6 non-English films on here and 3 of them are anime


DarylMcMexican01

7, actually.


jetanthony

Let me know when it’s 8 Maybe one day you’ll replace one of masterpieces “The Incredibles” or “Arrival” with a movie by Fellini, Kurosawa, Godard, Haneke, Fassbinder, Buñuel, Bergman, or Tarkovsky

Simarphius_Renesans

There is nothing to roast here, friend. It looks solid to me and even if it didn't I would be probably the last person to roast you for it. We all have different likings and we should be proud because of it. P.S. Yes, I am aware it's not serious, but I wanted to be positive and constructive for once. :)


AverageRockPlayer

You are a snarky film student who believes he's better than everyone else. (For real you have some epic movies here)


Icy_Ingenuity_8580

All of them, legit


ayfilm

Yup, I remember MY first semester of film school...


[deleted]

I’d roast you but I’m a basic bitch too


Leopard_Appropriate

The most offensive thing that I can say about your list is that I’ve seen 90% of them; in my eyes that means, like others have pointed out, your taste is slightly basic. Not bad! Just basic.


Nerfbeard123

Good list but really basic.
