Greatest Films by Year

I was also wondering how people feel about moving Aftersun > Tar on the 2022 list. Tar had more awards success but Aftersun has higher critic and audience ratings pretty much everywhere + higher ranking on TSPDT + twice as many ratings on Letterboxd and more ratings on IMDb as well, indicating higher lasting popularity (too early to really say, but still).

I'd feel good about that.

I'd have Sinners at #1, I think.

[Dubrow555]

It really only wins in pop. right? One Battle has a clear lead in critical acclaim on every list, plus a sturdy win in audience acclaim - plus swept the award season. So I don't really see it honestly.

[Tim]

Guess the idea would be Sinners making a lot more money than OBAA while also being highly acclaimed. And you say Sinners only wins popularity which may be true but by the same token OBAA only wins acclaim as it's really too early to talk about influence for either.

[Dubrow555]

Yes, but when it definitively wins critical, audience, and industry acclaim pretty squarely - I would give that the edge over the other film being more popular.

[Tim]

Tbh this is sorta like saying Sinners wins in ticket sales, number of imdb ratings, letterboxd faves, rt ratings and OBAA only wins acclaim.

[ManPerson]

Sinners grossed over 1.5x as much at the box office and has over 1.5x as many views on Letterboxd as OBAA. I don't think OBAA is 1.5x as acclaimed.

[ManPerson]

Sinners also has a much higher audience rating on RT and is only slightly behind OBAA on IMDb and Letterboxd so I don't think OBAA 'squarely' wins in audience acclaim.

[Dubrow555]

It's higher on TSPDT, Films101,RYM, and has a much higher metacritic. I firmly have it as #1, I'm open to hearing what others think.
