On Saturday, I asked our readers to post their lists for the best films of the year, so far. Many were submitted, and ‘Oppie’ easily came out on top. I want to truly thank everyone for participating.
When compared to our mid-year critics poll, it seems as though “Beau is Afraid” and “How to Blow Up A Pipeline” have far more fans over here. I also love to see “Pacifiction” getting some love, especially since it wasn’t even close to being a wide release. Here are the results:
1. Oppenheimer — 43 votes
2. Beau is Afraid — 28
3. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse — 24
4. Past Lives — 20
5. Asteroid City — 19
6. Barbie — 18
7. How to Blowup A Pipeline — 16
8. John Wick: Chapter 4 — 15
9. Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning 13
10. Pacifiction — 12
Despite not even being released yet, Ira Sachs’ “Passages” managed to be included on four lists. It’s out in theaters this coming Friday.
