50T.The journey is messy and incoherent but it certainly is a journey. ~ Tommen_Saperstein with 30 points from 4 votersUnder the Silver Lake 50T.A vivacious, delightfully poignant film about not just the pursuit of stardom, but about how pipe-dreams can be detrimental not just to the well-being of the pursuer, but their families as well. ~ stephen with 30 points from 4 votersWILD ROSE 49.Damn good film. More about deconstructing the absurd notion of "honor" in acts of violence than it is about masculinity. ~ @redhawk10 with 31 points from 4 votersTHE ART OF SELF-DEFENSE 48.Great combination of smart satire, witty banter and cat and mouse thriller. ~ Johnny_Hellzapoppin with 32 points from 5 votersREADY OR NOT 47.Delightfully batshit. ~ stephen with points 33 from 4 votersBACURAU 46.Partly The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, partly A Simple Plan, partly The Terror . . . and all-around excellent. ~ stephen with 35 points from 2 votersTHE VANISHING

45.The acting is strong, the direction feels purposeful, and the pacing is consistently engaging. ~ AKenjiB with 35 points from 4 votersQUEEN & SLIM 44.It's in some ways a remarkable, mind-boggling achievement ~ Mattsby with 37 points from 3 votersHONEYLAND 43.Sweetest film I’ve seen in a while for sure. ~ thomasjerome with 41 points from 6 votersTHE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON 42.A detailed history lesson that completely transports you into its period and that, despite its austere manner of presentation, is actually brimming with life and passion from its filmmaker which makes it resonate more. ~ JangoB with 42 points from 4 votersAN OFFICER AND A SPY 41.It's a succession of quiet moments that coalesce into a real gut punch of a whole. ~ Martin Stett with 45 points from 5 votersEL CAMINO

40.The movie is unnerving, told in 5 long, nail-bitting inducing scenes. The messy, explosive, never-ending sound of the first three acts make you appreciate the quietness and the stillness of the last two. ~ bob-coppola with points 45 from 6 votersHER SMELL 39.Holy fuck this is a great movie ~ @redhawk10 with 47 points from 4 votersTHE FOREST OF LOVE 38.My god I love that grainy 16mm look. The texture that it creates is such a beauty to behold. I could live inside the aesthetic of this film. ~ chris3 with 47 points from 5 votersTHE SOUVENIR 37.One of the best Indie flicks this year and a great redemption for the "fallen" Actor. ~ alexanderblanchett with 47 points from 8 votersHONEY BOY 36.It turns out that you really don't have to be interested in Elton John or his music to enjoy this charming and rather joyous semi-musical. ~ Johnny_Hellzapoppin with 50 points from 7 votersROCKETMAN

The Souvenir and Her Smell should be way higher, but I'm happy they're here.

35.It’s not perfect but it’s wonderfully ambitious. ~ AKenjiB with 51 points from 5 votersDRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE 34.This marks the last hollywood film i will love until disney is overthrown. ~ Film Socialism with 53 points from 5 votersLUCE 33.A masterpiece that is a companion piece to Altman's Nashville and Scorsese's No Direction Home - and the best film so far in 2019. ~ pacinoyes with 54 points from 5 votersROLLING THUNDER REVUE: A BOB DYLAN STORY BY MARTIN SCORSESE 32.The photography, the music, the editing, the atmosphere that emphasizes mood over plot. It's poetry in the way that most other films are prose. ~ pendragon with 55 points from 8 votersTHE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO 31.It was insane, I loved it. ~ Ryan_MYeah with 55 points from 9 votersUS

18.Arguably his most dramatic and emotional film, it tells a strong, easily accessible story and in the hands of a different director, it would be prime Oscar Bait. ~ pendragon with 120 points from 11 voters (#1 on 1 ballot)A HIDDEN LIFE

17.Ethereal, celestial beauty and inner grotesquery make for a fantastic combination here and the setting is so specific and different from what we're used to that the movie kinda instantly turns unique. ~ JangoB with 126 points from 12 votersMIDSOMMAR

14.It is a flawed film, make no mistake, but these flaws inform the piece rather than detract from it, and overall it’s one of the most powerful movies I've seen recently. ~ stephen with 168 points from 18 votersTHE NIGHTINGALE

DAMN IT VICED YOU GOT ME AGAIN! 12.It walks a real tonal tightrope - there are moments of shocking sadness peppered throughout - but I think it succeeds, aided by very strong performances. ~ @tyler with 182 points from 16 votersJOJO RABBIT
