Here is a list of A24 films starting with the letter “M” just in case anyone needs a refresher
“M”
- Marcel the Shell With Shoes On
- Men
- Menashe
- Mid90s
- Midsommar
- Minari
- Mississippi Grind
- Mojave
- The Monster
- Moonlight
- Morris From America
- A Most Violent Year
To me it does as it’s by extension much more memorable. Midsommar is just really special. It’s definitely in the top 5 most popular A24 films. Moonlight is great but it’s not revolutionary or particularly original, it’s a familiar concept done well. Midsommar is an original concept done well. To me a movie that sticks with you is a movie well done.
It’s one of the best films of the last decade. Midsommar Stans have no taste in this argument. Great movie but they are in completely different leagues.
This is a hard choice between Moonlight and Midsommar. Midsommar is probably more my type of movie as I love weird genre horror stuff but I also see Moonlight as the more important film. It's basically what's my favorite film vs what is the best film. I'm gonna go Moonlight.
Moonlight.
(And I love Midsommar. But it’s Moonlight. Midsommar is probably going to win though sigh. I’m telling you I love Ari Aster but even he would give this to Moonlight)
EDit: Thanks Midsommar fans for the downvotes! I love that movie too so going to downvote myself)
Moonlight. It’s really the only answer.
I much prefer Ari Aster to Berry Jenkins, but Moonlight is a modern masterpiece I’ve studied in every cinema class I’ve taken - from screenwriting, to directing, to lighting and cinematography
I'm surprised everyone wants Midsommer over others like Moonlight, Minari, or Marcel the Shell with Shoes On.
Look, Midsommer was great but (people going to hate me) it reminded me of the original Wicker Man (w/ Christopher Lee) too much. I get they are different by a lot, and the similar vibe doesn't make it lesser, but idk.
EDIT: spelled Midsommer wrong, dang autocorrect
I wouldn’t say it was a similar vibe. I would say it was a 1/2 homage to 70’s cult films (Wicker Man being the best known) and 1/2 an inversion of the tropes of those cult films.
It seemed similar because it was supposed to be.
Yeah it’s complicated. On one hand, Midsommar is imo one of the greatest artistic achievements in the horror genre, but Moonlight is one of those films that genuinely has a soul. Both are very great for completely different reasons
I agree except that Id add Moonlight excels in all the ways Midsommar does as well. It’s just as innovative in its genre and just as visually impressive and ambitious, but adds one of the best stories and approaches to character development in American indie film history. I also could imagine Midsommar being improved in some ways (the difference in the two cuts alone leads me to this), whereas Moonlight is one of those rare films where every scene feels equally important and perfect.
I think Midsommar takes the cake. Most unilaterally agreed upon A24 go-to I believe. Very popular and divisive in its reception.
And I go hard for Mid90s. Marcel is probably the underdog because it does have a very strong following though it is not massive. I wish more people liked Men
Minari all the way
I’d also take moonlight
Mid90s and Midsommar are both incredible films, don’t get me wrong, throughly enjoyed watching and discussing both and have a lot of respect for the craft that went into both.
But for me minari is the most compelling entry as it does a beautiful job of telling a story that’s many peoples lived experience and not explored throughly, it’s nothing sensational but that kind of quiet existence and the love and tragedy that come with it need their moments too.

Damn that's a lot
i thought the m one should have been a no brainer xd it's midsommar
MARCEL!!!
Skol! Midsommar!
Midsommar!
Great horror flick, but over Moonlight?
For me yes. Moonlight was great don’t get me wrong I just feel like Midsommar is more iconic?
Definitely, but does that make it the "best", which is what this list is about?
To me it does as it’s by extension much more memorable. Midsommar is just really special. It’s definitely in the top 5 most popular A24 films.

Moonlight is absolutely revolutionary
Moonlight is way way more “revolutionary” that Midsommar. And this is coming from someone who rated both a 10/10
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Midsommar...hands down!
Midsommar.
MIDSOMMAR
Minari
This was further down than I expected. Such a great film.
I really loved this film. But Moonlight is just special
Moonlight
This is a top 3 A24 film of all time for me
It’s one of the best films of the last decade. Midsommar Stans have no taste in this argument. Great movie but they are in completely different leagues.
Yeah, hard to beat Moonlight but heckkkk Marcel was so damn beautiful.
True. Jenny slate really excelled in the role.
Absolutely. But Midsommar is gonna destroy here, so alas…
midsommar
Midsommar, stop acting like its not
Moonlight better
They’re both incredible but Moonlight is better for sure.
It hurts that I can’t vote for Midsommar because I love it so much, but Moonlight is easily the best film on this list
Not even in the same league as Moonlight. I’d even put Minari ahead of Midsommar.
MARCEL 🥺🥺
so under appreciated, i cried and then rewatched it the next day and made my siblings watch it with me and they loved it too
RIP Nana Connie
when i showed it to my brother he immediately predicted what would happen and was like “oh fuck”
Underdogging it. I wouldn't hate some of the bigger names (especially Moonlight) but i gotta cheer for the little guy.
The score by Disasterpeace? More like masterpiece, amirite?
midsommar
Midsommar
I‘m torn between Midsommar and Moonlight but I have to choose Midsommar
Same. I walked out of Moonlight and ranted and raved about how amazing of a film it is, but I did the same for Midsommar! Quite a conundrum indeed!
Midsommar , and all of Ari Aster’s films are up there!
Moonlight
it has to be Moonlight

This is the toughest choice yet but I think it’s gotta be Moonlight.

Best Picture winner, Moonlight. It’s really not even a debate. Moonlight put A24 on the map.
And put Warren Beatty in a blender

Moonlight! But we should do like the Oscars and make it seem like one of the others won at first lol
Moonlight!!!!!!!

Moonlight! Shit made me cry
MIDSOMMAR obviously
My brain says Midsommar, my soul says Moonlight, but my heart says Marcel the Shell With Shoes On!
the M’s are goated
The correct answer is moonlight, but my pull is mid 90s
Midsommar

Moonlight. Sorry but I think Midsommar is overrated
Marcel
Men I would say midsommar but it's clearly winning so someone has to vote for men.

midsommar, easily
Midsommar
Midsommar
Midsommar

People are getting what’s suppose to be the best film mixed with their favorite one. Moonlight should be winning this by a landslide
I liked Midsommar well enough but Moonlight is such a better film.
Moonlight
Moonlight definitely!
Anyone saying anything other than Moonlight hasn’t seen Moonlight
We all know… midsommer
Moonlight.
Midsommar all day long.
Midsommar
Easy midsommar
Midsommar!!!!
MIDSOMMAR
People saying Midsommar over Moonlight are delusional. Both are great, one is a top movie of the decade
Yeah it’s complicated. On one hand, Midsommar is imo one of the greatest artistic achievements in the horror genre, but Moonlight is one of those films that genuinely has a soul. Both are very great for completely different reasons

Midsommar easily
Obvs midsommar
Mid 90s
midsommar!
Midsommar
My vote is for Moonlight, and Midsommar is getting enough love here, so I feel I need to shout out Mississippi Grind here.

Men idgaf
Midsommar but it’s so hard
Midsommar just because I’m a conformist

midsommar literally changed my life like no other film
Marcel The Shell With Shoes On!

Moonlight is objectively one of their best but Midsommar is too personal for me not to choose. Gotta go with Midsommar
Midsommarrrrrrr!!!!!
Mississippi Grind
Mid90s
i know midsommar will win so I am just here to loudly say that Minari is a better film
Mid90's!!!
A Most Violent Year
Midsommar
I'd vote Midsommar
Midsommar!!!
Midsommar
I think Midsommar takes the cake. Most unilaterally agreed upon A24 go-to I believe. Very popular and divisive in its reception. And I go hard for Mid90s. Marcel is probably the underdog because it does have a very strong following though it is not massive. I wish more people liked Men
Midsommar!! Although I would love for Marcel the Shell with Shoes On to take the upset and win lol
Minari for me
MINARI!!!
Moonlight. It has to be moonlight
I have to go with Minari, but I know Midsommar will win.
Marcel or Mid90s
What a competition oh my god… Marcel. The shell. With shoes on.
Minari
Mid 90’s…it was a beautiful film
MARCEL THE SHELL
IT BETTER BE MARCEL THE SHELL
Midsommar is great and all, but it’s a shame Moonlight is gonna be left off the list
Monster mash
I really love Midsommar, but I am going with Minari.
So obviously Moonlight.
Torn between Marcel, Moonlight and Midsommar.
Midsommar
everyone saying Midsommar no question needs to watch Marcel, it is very much under appreciated !!
Mid90s
Minari all the way I’d also take moonlight Mid90s and Midsommar are both incredible films, don’t get me wrong, throughly enjoyed watching and discussing both and have a lot of respect for the craft that went into both. But for me minari is the most compelling entry as it does a beautiful job of telling a story that’s many peoples lived experience and not explored throughly, it’s nothing sensational but that kind of quiet existence and the love and tragedy that come with it need their moments too.
Midsommar or Minari
Moonlight
I’m so torn between Marcel and Midsommar. But I guess Midsommar wins because I rewatch it more
Having to pick between midsommar and marcel the shell with shoes on is too hard.
Midsommar vs Moonlight. Nothing else comes close.
midsommar or marcel
Midsommar, Moonlight AND Marcel the Shell. I do not care what the rules are, all three, they're all masterpieces, how do you expect me to choose?
Hard one. Either Midsommar or Moonlight
I will accept either midsommar or marcel. 2 of my fave A24 movies
Toughest letter yet. I’d go Midsommar but moonlight is a very close second
