I see alotta people claiming his Oscar sweep tonight was a correction for not winning for Florida Project. So what’s his best movie?

@proper I already know your pick

ur so real

no prince of broadway or take out or starlet in op smh all better than tangerine imo

maybe i need to rewatch tangerine tho

def need to rewatch the baker filmography this year

Florida Project for me, easily, I haven’t see red rocket tho

Anora
Florida Project
Red Rocket
Prince of Broadway
Take Out

Why would you say that’s the best for you? The exploration of childhood and broken parents?

anora is great the florida project and red rocket are complete trash to me. havent seen the others

My favorite is Tangerine but I don't think it's his "best" in terms of pure filmmaking and thematic writing, which is probably Florida Project

Red rocket

Florida project

Anora > tangerine > florida project > red rocket

Haven't seen anything pre-2015 by him but I gravitate towards Tangerine the most, partially cause the iphone visuals are still such a singular and striking choice in his filmography but i've got a personal bias cause the digital mid-2010s instagram filter makes me nostalgic

probably Florida Project. Anora is my least fav tbh

You prefer the more loose structure/ slice of life?

Florida project
Starlett
red rocket
takeout
Tangerine
Prince of Broadway
anora

people sleeping on Starlett, one of his best

Anora
Starlett
Tangerine
Florida Project
Red Rocket
Prince Of Broadway

I think Anora tbh. Felt like such a level up by every metric and also introduced new elements that I never knew he had in his repertoire

I just adore that film leaning on how resilient a child’s optimism can be, if you dont yank their innocence from them (which it most likely is at the end) , even in a seedy, tragic environment rather than the grown up fast route, it’s incredibly nostalgic too, makes you think of your childhood friends who might have just vanished one day or been displaced

Dafoe is like the inverse of Mitchum in night of the hunter lol
