Yeah, another sorry. I forgot about "Freedom '90", which I'm pretty sure was on Fincher's list at some point in the past. Where do you see it? #10? #9?

Yeah, sorry, I don't get to new lists at the moment though I might quickloy let him sneak in when we get to that point in the alphabet. He's clearly among the most important missing names.

I've made all the requested changes to the Farhadi, Favreau and Fincher lists. Nothing I disagree with.

Fine by me.

I may have Emilia Pérez too high but it would feel weird to have it outside the top 20. Probably one of the most controversially discussed films of the year. I wouldn't punish it for being divisive, which can easily happen if you only go by average scores from rating or critics consensus sites. It's ...

I quickly threw one together but it's not as well researched as my usual lists. Especially towards the bottom I was very much at a loss at which films would best be added. Anyway:

1. Anora - Sean Baker
2. Dune: Part Two - Denis Villeneuve
3. The Brutalist - Brady Corbet
4. The Substance - Coralie ...

Influence: The Cheat easy
Popularity: Samson and Delilah by less
Acclaim: Samson and Delilah by even less

Depending on how big we consider The Cheat's influence win to be, the two could or should be swapped. What do others think?

It was tempting though, to just add it at #2 or something and then lean back and enjoy the reactions.

Doesn't seem very relevant. I'd scrap that part entirely.

and also let me know whether the meaning of the last 2 sentences of the criteria is clear.

Sounds as if some of these works were more deliberately written in the literary tradition of the novella (whatever that is) or at least critically reviewed as such, while others are more incidentally ...
