Surprised Odom's dull as dishwater performance didn't keep Glass Onion off the list (it loses me on Hudson as well who I don't find funny there, but if one does, it's fine), though otherwise some excellent choices with largely consistently good performance even the bit parts, something that should always be considered with best ensemble.

He is easily the weak link but I found on rewatch he just kinda exists while everyone else is working on their A-game and I feel like he's not actively ruining the film with his presence like some other ensembles I could name. (Also, any film that can make Jessica Henwick actually interesting deserves some credit in that respect.)

You owe Puss in Boots an apology sir. Literally my eighth place, but I don't love it as much as you do. Still a kickass flick, though.

Well conversely, while I liked Stars at Noon more than most (though evidently not as much as you) found the screenplay very messy, and I did hate all the "well he's an idiot" cheats in Glass Onion's mystery.

Not amazing! You unamazingly missed the amazing wonder of the amazing Moby Dick essay, and how amazing it was at showing us how amazing the amazing person behind that amazing essay was. Truly too amazing to quantify its amazement

6 good to great choices, and one brief set of funny meta jokes surrounded by a messy and extremely generic drug lord plot and even more generic absentee dad story.
