This is an incredibly difficult question for me, so I have to list my runners up:
- The Prestige
- Shawshank Redemption
- Pulp Fiction
- Spirited Away
- 2001: A Space Oddysey
- Dallas Buyers Club
I’m probably an idiot for not including The Godfather but it’s been a long time since I saw it so I probably need to watch it again.
I don’t know The Fabelmans but I like everything else you mentioned so I’m adding it to my watch list. Thanks!
Bladerunner final cut,
Shawshank redemption,
Alien,
Galaxy quest,
The Big Lebowski.
- LOTR: For staying close to the book while still being amazing.
- The Matrix: Still can’t forget walking out of the theater, everyone so silent with their minds collectively blown.
- Cinema Paradiso: For the way it shows the love for cinema.
- Life is Beautiful: For showing that only we control how we live our lives.
- Children of Heaven: For its depiction of love in its purest forms.

- Once upon a time in the West
- Dogville
- Pulp Fiction
- American Beauty
- Fucking Åmal
Top rated because of the story (all), acting (all), music (except for 2), number of awesome quotes (3 and 4) and all in all just being amazing.
Also, since I saw someone mention it, I’d like to add that the worst movie of all time is imho 2001 A Space Odyssey. On IMDb I don’t rate movies lower than 2 stars because I have 1 exclusively reserved for 2001 ASO. Watching it has been the most boring experience of my life, which btw is saying a LOT. Punishment in hell probably shifted to eternally watching this movie, with sinners wishing to go back to when they were physically tortured. I cannot stress enough how much I dislike this movie. You can be absolute sure that my top 5 is nothing like that.
2001 is divisive. I love that movie, but I know so many people that find it insufferably slow.
I think it’s just too “spacious” for lack of a better term. It only presents the bare minimum in plot and focuses almost entirely on the cinematography. But just think about it in the context of 1968. This was during the height of the space race, and the film explores the core concept: what is the destiny of humanity and where did we come from? It’s so fucking massive in scope that the only way to do it justice is to just give the viewer space to digest.
As such it asks a lot from the viewer to fill in the gaps and use the film as more of a meditation than a passive viewing experience.
- I Origins (2014)
- Return of the Jedi (1983)
- The Boondock Saints (1999)
- The Matrix (1999)
- Interstellar (2014)
In no particular order.
So The Office is in your list of top tv shows
The German version (Stromberg) is, but I don’t like the American one. Incompatible humour, really… I don’t remember any funny US series that I actually found funny.
Edit: Thought about it for a bit, Scrubs was funny as hell. So there was at least one.
I thought it was a reference to this
