I love days of the future past. I used to watch it every day. I don’t think it is near the same visual experience as kubrick or hitchcock. But it is personal for myself, and has great acting.

Ok I always change up my top 10 list because I just love so many films so I decided I’ll do it this way, put films together that I feel tie with each other, are equal, for example raging bull and taxi driver, i have a bunch of films in these ties and im still missing films i love like fistful of dollars and sixth sense. and of course the whole first six star wars films would be up there.

1. The Wizard Of Oz- Fleming/ Breaking Bad (television series)- Gilligan
2. Raging Bull/ Taxi Driver- Scorsese
3. Searchers- Ford/ Star Wars (1977)- Lucas/ Annie Hall- Allen/ Revenge Of The Sith- Lucas
4. Once Upon A Time In America- Leone/ Schindler’s List- Spielberg/ The Kid- Chaplin/ Where To Invade Next- Moore/ Citizen Kane- Welles/Godfather- Coppola/ Gone With The Wind-Fleming
5. Pulp Fiction- Tarantino/ Raiders Of The Lost Ark- Spielberg/ Grave Of The Fireflies- Takahata/ Joker- Phillips/ Terminator- Cameron
6. Vanilla Sky- Crowe/ O Brother Where Art Thou- Coen Brothers/ Do The Right Thing- Lee/ Apocylypse Now- Coppola
7. Cloud Atlas- Wachowski/ Return Of The King- Jackson/ Carrie- DePalma/ The Stand- Garris (TV Miniseries)
8. Clockwork Orange- Kubrick/ Blue Velvet-Lynch/ Chinatown- Polanski/ 2001- Kubrick/ Ad Astra- Grey/ Up- Docter/ Dr. Strangelove- Kubrick/ metropolis-lang
9. Meyerowitz Adventures- Baumbach/ Punch-Drunk Love/ Passion Of Joan Of Arc- Dreyer/ Roma- Cuaron/ Silence Of The Lambs
10.Broken Blossoms- Griffith/ Steve Jobs- Boyle/ Logan- Mangold/ 8 Mile- Hanson/ Days Of The Future Past- Singer/ Halloween- Carpenter/ Purple Rose Of Cairo/ Yellow Submarine- dunning/ 81/2- fellini/ vertigo- hitchcock

My Top Ten Of All Time as of right now is
1.Taxi Driver
2.Pulp Fiction
3.Magnolia
4.Spiderman 2
5.The Master/Manhattan
6.Chinatown
7.LA Confidential
8.Mean Girls (I love this film to death and I don’t care what anyone says)

Why are you on aboard with Deniro not getting a nomination?

It’s weird… I really, really loved Bad Times At The El Royale – I’d probably have it as a low MP on your scale, honestly. I get why a lot of people don’t love it. But it is a genre film, through and through. And it’s probably the most fun I had watching a movie in a cinema in 2018. I’m probably slightly bias as I would rank Jeff Bridges as being, definitely, one of the best actors of all-time – his performances in Fearless, Thunderbolt & Lightfoot, The Big Lebowski, True Grit, Crazy Heart and Hell Or High Water are mind-blowing to me – and this is without mentioning other great performances of his, which I haven’t the time to go through lol.* I, also, thought Cynthia Erivo gave a terrific performance. Lewis Pullman was great in his role. And Chris Hemsworth gave a came for the ages. The cinematography was engaging, as was the script. I, also, have to give credit for the use of music in the film – the use of Bernadette by The Four Tops was particularly striking to me. Granted, I can understand why you might not like him.

*If I was gonna do a Top Actors of all-time, it’d probably be DiCaprio as No. 1, followed by Bridges, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robert De Niro, Cary Grant, Paul Newman and Clint Eastwood, in no particular order – in years to come, it would be possible that Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Jake Gyllenhaal, Mahershala Ali and Oscar Isaac would find a place on my list, but it depends on what their future output is like.

Well, I think the thing for me with Brando is that I don’t really love his performance in Apocalypse Now (I haven’t seen any of his work on the Godfather or prior – the only supposedly great performance of his I’ve is Apocalypse Now), so I’m not a big fan, so far. (I’ve only seen a certain amount of movies – I am only 18, at the moment and am only recently emerging as a cinephile, so it’ll probably be a long while before I end up as well-read as you). The thing about the to-come actors I’ve listed is that I’ve loved, at least, two of their performances. So with Oscar Isaac, for example, I have 3 – Inside Llewyn Davis, A Most Violent Year and Ex Machina. Mahershala Ali, I have 2 – Moonlight (he makes this movie a great one, in my opinion, in spite of Barry Jenkins’ superb direction) and Green Book (Movie is HR, at best, but his performance is mesmerising in a way that I haven’t seen an actor be since Hoffman in The Master). Ryan Gosling was one I was tempted to put on the main list. His body of work in this decade is astounding – Blue Valentine, Drive and La La Land are the three highlights, but he is immensely charismatic and funny in The Nice Guys and Crazy, Stupid, Love. His performance in The Place Beyond The Pines is underrated and is one of the best parts of one of my favourite movies of all time (this one really connected with me, for some reason). However, his work in First Man is offputting a little to me – I thought the movie was visually stunning, but his acting was too dry this time. And I wasn’t as big a fan of 2049 as everyone else. To be fair to Gosling, though, I thought his performance was good, albeit not great.
Anyway, to answer your question, which is what I was gonna do before I went on a tangent (sorry lol), the issue with Kaluuya and Driver for me is that- actually, there’s two issues – but the main one for me is that they only have one truly masterful performance each. Kaluuya – Get Out. Driver – Marriage Story. Although, in all fairness, they are very good in Widows and BlacKKKlansman – but not masterful. The other problem with them both is is that, in a weird way, in spite of them both being fairly engaging, they do not have the charisma of the others, which is, usually, what makes an actor stand out for me. For example, in Ex Machina, it’s hard to look away from Oscar Isaac, just because of his phenomenal screen presence in it. The same goes for most of the roles of the actors on that list. They dominate the movies they’re in, but, also, have a way of bringing up the other actors around them. This is a a key asset I find in many of the great actors. I.e. Bridges in The Big Lebowski gets tons and tons of laughs and is one of the great performances of cinema, but the entirety of that ensemble, also, shines.
I don’t know. I feel like I’ve gone on a mega-tangent. Haha sorry.
