Love Actually is CINECAST!ing terrible.

True dat! I bought this as a blind buy and stopped doing blind buys because of this huge mistake.

The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942)

The list was probably put together by people under the age of 30, movies like this don't even show up on their radar screen.

I remember Love Actually being great, but I'm scared to revisit it.

No, it's actually not. A few years after buying and watching it, I came into our living room and my wife was watching it on TCM. When it was over I asked her if she liked it. She told me she couldn't believe she stayed with it, it was so bad.

I’m with you. If we get more people on our side, we win! And then the other side just has to accept that Love Actually sucks!

It looks like it will be down to this:



It is just a question of which side is which:

I refuse to acknowledge a film named Love, Actually exists. It's a global conspiracy perpetrated by Christmas fans.

Top ten critics' lists are popping up on Metacritic for films, in however less quantity than Music for the time being. And there doesn't exactly seem to be one film around which critics are coalescing. Interestingly, Mank is nowhere to be seen.

Makes me think that the big ones I gotta get to are City Hall (definite winter break, no way I can do that while school is in session), Nomadland (when/if), Minari (ditto), David Byrne's American Utopia, and Kajillionaire, which got Richard Brody's #1 spot. All films I wanted to see anyway, but it helps in narrowing it, for now, until many other lists drop soon.
