The 500-ish films I haven't seen that I want to see the most, updated pretty regularly. Loosely ranked.

Just kinda the stuff that seems like stuff I'd like. Films that are similar to other films I've loved in the past, be it through the plot, the director, the actor(s) involved, the tone/atmosphere, general reviews, or other various factors. Will continue to update as time goes on.

On my 500 Favorite Films List, I noticed I have an enormous amount of American films and films from the 21st century present, with more films from the 2010's than any other decade by a long shot. Undoubtedly, this is due to me not having seen enough from other decades, especially the 30's-80's, so I'm probably going to be adding more films from between those years, along with more foreign films, to sort of even out the master list and expand my horizons a little bit.

New, unreleased, anticipated films at the bottom, ranked by anticipation. Malick's Jesus film obviously holds the title for the most exciting film and has for a good 5 years now.

• The Sacrifice
• Tokyo Story
• The Human Condition I: No Greater Love
• The Human Condition II: Road to Eternity
• The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayer

Filmmaking is an expensive business, and so very rarely a profitable one.

All the films I could find that made no money, or failed to recoup their costs by a sizable margin on release. All relative, depending on how much was spent overall and how much it was expected/needed to make to justify the cost.

• Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages
• Quo Vadis?
• The Last Days of Pompeii
• Metropolis
• The ion of Joan of Arc
• Noah's Ark
• The Big Trail
• Just Imagine
• Rich and Strange
• Freaks

Films that seem to have qualities and characteristics noticed more when the viewer has had some sort of mind and/or mood altering substance intake. Whether it be through the use of colors, lighting, framing, or cinematography in general, these films give off an almost dreamlike vibe that makes them even more engaging under the influence.

Have just been adding to it every time I see one/one comes to mind so it's pretty unorganized at this point. Will do a full redo at some point.

• 2001: A Space Odyssey
• Oblivion
• Snowpiercer
• Ikarie XB 1

  Better than the majority of the MCU movies. Shredded upon release at the same the MCU was doing its victory lap with Infinity War/Endgame. David Harbour is legitimately great casting. Not the unwatchable filth so many hyped it up (and wanted it) to be.

Every film I've had the pleasure of seeing in theaters.

Organized by original release date.

First film I caught during its original theatrical run is 'Chicken Little,' which my mother took me to at age 4 in 2005. Film I saw in theaters the most number of times would be 'The Lighthouse' which I saw 11 times in 2019, followed by Francis Ford Coppola's 'Megalopolis', which I went and saw 6 times in 2024.

Add to it every time I catch a new one at a picture house.

• Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

  Saw with Cece and a nice full crowd, October 2024.
  UW Cinematheque

• Casablanca

  80 year anniversary screening, January 2022. Packed house, went alone.
  Marcus

• Laura

  Saw with Cece, July 2024
  UW Cinematheque

• It's a Wonderful Life

  With family, probably January 2018
  Marcus

• The Small Back Room

  Saw with Cece, July 2024. 2/3 full audience
  UW Cinematheque

• Rear Window

  Saw with my Dad. 70th anniversary screening, August 2024. Theater maybe 1/4 full? Vividly entertaining stuff and totally refreshing after watching nothing but unremarkable modern filmmaking at the theater lately.
  Marcus

• White Christmas

  Saw with Cece, December 2024. We did a double feature, this first, 'Christmas Vacation' second. Maybe 1/4 full auditorium. Some young people too. A mother and her two teenage daughters, I wondered if they were already fans of the film or if they were just being introduced to it. Whichever way it was, it was very nice to see. Power if cinema.
  Marcus

• The Searchers

  Saw alone, April 2025. My last showing of the 2025 Wisconsin Film Festival. Had only seen once before, in high school (loved it then too but I actually understood the thing this time around). Essential big screen experience. What landscapes! What heavenly scenery. Ending brought tears to my eyes, no joke. Now that's a movie! Also struck up a conversation with a random old woman sitting next to me and we talked for like 25 minutes nonstop until the film began, about pretty much all things cinema. She told me she was a teenager in 1974 but still has never seen 'Chinatown'. Experiences like this make my day and I always feel the need to flaunt whatever it is I feel I know to them to get their approval. I think I succeeded this time. Packed audience, too.
  Flix Brewhouse Madison

• A Woman Is a Woman

  Saw alone, April 2025. My first show of the final day of the 2025 Wisconsin Film Festival. First Godard in theaters!
  Flix Brewhouse Madison

• The Godfather

  Coppola's birthday screening April 2024. Saw with Cece, her first time seeing the picture, ever.
