It's difficult to argue outside of RD and PF from a pure cinema point of view I guess. Outside of those I reckon I'd go Inglorious and then Hollywood.

Ugh I hate doing this, because how I feel about movies is often based on when I saw them (nostalgia playing a big part). Unordered pick of 5 that I've given 5* to on letterboxd (which is 32 films out of 1,608 films, as I can be so incredibly stingy and my ratings probably make sense to nobody) x. Dazed and Confused x. City of God x. Spinal Tap x. Aliens x. Whiplash Some basic choices from a basic guy. Needs more shot in realtime Russian art movies.

1. Jaws I need to think about the rest.

1. La Haine 2. Beetlejuice 3. Rushmore 4. Predator 5. Alien

I've still yet to watch Reservoir Dogs/Jackie Brown/Hateful 8. I loved Deathproof. But I understand that puts me in the minority. I thought it was fun. Once upon a time in Hollywood is fantastic though. So much to love about it.

Dogs and Pulp Fiction are the top two for me as well. Less to do with the filmmaking quality, but just came out at the right time for a kid getting into better/more adult movies. I remember reading Reservoir Dogs script that I downloaded from a BBS before I got to see it, the only time I've ever done that.
