250 Greatest Movies of the 2010s (Revision Version)

[Dubrow555]

True on both accounts...maybe as a compromise we move it down behind Joker?? Hollywood + Portrait have virtually no influence as far as I'm concerned.

[ManPerson]

I'd move it below Gone Girl. The two films are pretty much tied in acclaim, Gone Girl takes popularity fairly easily and The Irishman takes influence, but by a lot less.

[Dubrow555]

[ManPerson]

The Tree of Life and Amour are still clearly like 15 spots too high according the criteria, but I guess we agreed on it before or whatever.

[Dubrow555]

Ya, I think you should let those 2 go, tbh.

[ManPerson]

The Tree of Life vs Gone Girl
Initial Acclaim: The Tree of Life
Lasting Critical Acclaim: The Tree of Life fairly easily
Lasting Audience Acclaim: Gone Girl easily
Initial Popularity: Gone Girl fairly easily
Lasting Popularity: Gone Girl easily

Acclaim: The Tree of Life
Popularity: Gone Girl easily
Influence: n/a

Amour vs Gone Girl
Initial Acclaim: Amour
Lasting Critical Acclaim: Amour
Lasting Audience Acclaim: Gone Girl close
Initial Popularity: Gone Girl fairly easily
Lasting Popularity: Gone Girl easily

Acclaim: Amour
Popularity: Gone Girl easily
Influence: Amour close

Also, I don't see why Portrait of a Lady On Fire should be 25 spots apart from these two.

Slop wins. Bonus points if it started a franchise of more slop.

I think “The Irishman” seems too low now. Good acclaim and influence.

I'd move it below Gone Girl. The two films are pretty much tied in acclaim, Gone Girl takes popularity fairly easily and The Irishman takes influence, but by a lot less.

If people think it's deaging effects were significant enough I'm fine with it moving up to #31 between Arrival and The King's Speech.

[ManPerson]

It's clear The Tree of Life and Amour moving down won't happen so...

1. Parasite - Bong Joon-Ho (2019)

A movie vs crowd-pleasing franchise slop

Initial critical acclaim: the movie
Lasting critical acclaim: the movie
Audience acclaim: the slop
Initial popularity: the slop easily
Lasting popularity: the slop easily

Slop wins. Bonus points if it started a franchise of more slop.

Well, popularity is 1/3rd of the criteria so when a highly popular movie has pretty strong acclaim, it should be ranked accordingly, even though I'd agree that most movies from Marvel and the like are in fact slop.

I don't think we need to dogpile on MP or anything - he makes a lot of good points and knows the criteria well.
