1. Dune
Director: Denis Villeneuve
I read the book a few years ago and did not love it. This movie was not the masterpiece that I hoped it might be, but greatly enhanced my appreciation for the world that Herbert created.
2. The Worst Person in the World
Director: Joachim Trier
3. The Green Knight
Director: David Lowery
4. The French Dispatch
Director: Wes Anderson
Wes Anderson's work is best consumed in moderation, so the anthology structure works well.
5. Nightmare Alley
Director: Guillermo del Toro
6. The Last Duel
Director: Ridley Scott
Scott's still got it.
7. Titane
Director: Julia Ducournau
8. Annette
Director: Leos Carax
Awful, in all the best ways.
9. Judas and the Black Messiah
Director: Shaka King
10. Belfast
Director: Kenneth Branagh
Is it stolen valor to (twice) use another film's theme song in your own? Asking for my friend, Kenneth.
