As always, you're so 100% dead wrong it's like you're doing it on purpose. If what you said about "acclaimed art films" was true, he'd have included Licorice Pizza (HE SHOULD HAVE!) and Spencer as well. Why would he include Licorice Pizza when that film is potentially tainted with the age difference/racial joke controversies? Again, he's predictable and disingenuous. Unless you're in the know, and we all know that you're not, then just give it a rest already and stop being pressed.

He's a politician, I get it. And I like his lists, they're better than 90% of the top lists out there, as a general rule. But he'd never actually take a risk and vote for, say, Joker or Vox Lux or Titane or Blue Is the Warmest Color or anything else that may possibly come back to bite him. I do find it funny that anyone who points this out is "pressed" when the discourse was quite civil before Elmius - a guy so insecure that he practically collapses in horror at the faintest breath against anyone he supports politically - jumped in here with his bullshit.

Why do I suspect all the people saying the list is phony are just saying that cuz they dislike him personally/politically? Again, a "carefully curated" list would have more picks like King Richard & Belfast and less picks like Pig & The Card Counter. I'm having a hard time understanding why people are so pressed about a wait for it... a freakin top ten movie list. Now had this been Trump's list then I could see the outrage... no way he would sit through any of this. Some people are funny like that. *shrug*

at least two of those Higher Ground productions were not good (haven't seen the Esmail) but the rest of these seem pretty par for the course with this POTUS guy. Thousand and One is one of 2023's most overlooked gems so nice to see it get a shoutout from him, and it's fun seeing Polite Society here. I'd kill to see his Criterion collection.
