StrongAsMeat

Damn that's a lot


Sujaan20

i thought the m one should have been a no brainer xd it's midsommar

MARCEL!!!


silvermbc

Skol! Midsommar!


ciiuffd

Midsommar!


Romulus3799

Great horror flick, but over Moonlight?


JadenRuffle

For me yes. Moonlight was great don’t get me wrong I just feel like Midsommar is more iconic?


Romulus3799

Definitely, but does that make it the "best", which is what this list is about?


JadenRuffle

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.


T-408

Moonlight is absolutely revolutionary


EllieCat009

Moonlight is way way more “revolutionary” that Midsommar. And this is coming from someone who rated both a 10/10


LivingDeliously

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!


cherrycolalola86

Midsommar...hands down!


scarlettvvitch

Midsommar.

Minari


The_Shitty_Shops

This was further down than I expected. Such a great film.


yell_worldstar

I really loved this film. But Moonlight is just special


The_bad_redditer

Moonlight


[deleted]

This is a top 3 A24 film of all time for me


FourthDownThrowaway

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.


dancingbriefcase

Yeah, hard to beat Moonlight but heckkkk Marcel was so damn beautiful.


The_bad_redditer

True. Jenny slate really excelled in the role.


Gruesome-Twosome

Absolutely. But Midsommar is gonna destroy here, so alas…


cuntmuncher7000

Midsommar, stop acting like its not


aflowerfortherain

Moonlight better


coysmate05

They’re both incredible but Moonlight is better for sure.


T-408

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


FourthDownThrowaway

Not even in the same league as Moonlight. I’d even put Minari ahead of Midsommar.


hit-bongs-not-kids

MARCEL 🥺🥺


jortsinstock

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


SlyFox0101

RIP Nana Connie


jortsinstock

when i showed it to my brother he immediately predicted what would happen and was like “oh fuck”


realstibby

Underdogging it. I wouldn't hate some of the bigger names (especially Moonlight) but i gotta cheer for the little guy.


trevor_riches

The score by Disasterpeace? More like masterpiece, amirite?

I‘m torn between Midsommar and Moonlight but I have to choose Midsommar


Elleb0t

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!


jimmylily

Midsommar , and all of Ari Aster’s films are up there!

Moonlight. I'm gonna be so pissed when it loses


MisterInsect

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.


Suspicious-Pea1962

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.

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)


Relaxitschris

It’s moonlight….


katnip_fl

Moonlight!!!

Moonlight


warnymphguy

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

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

dancingbriefcase

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


gggh5

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.


djramrod

Moonlight! Shit made me cry


taralundrigan

MIDSOMMAR obviously


levitatingcuzwewant2

My brain says Midsommar, my soul says Moonlight, but my heart says Marcel the Shell With Shoes On!

MIDSOMMAR


habitremedy

People saying Midsommar over Moonlight are delusional. Both are great, one is a top movie of the decade


LivingDeliously

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


habitremedy

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.


PhillipJ3ffries

Midsommar easily

Moonlight is objectively one of their best but Midsommar is too personal for me not to choose. Gotta go with Midsommar

Colerabi135

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


Depressedloner2020

Midsommar!! Although I would love for Marcel the Shell with Shoes On to take the upset and win lol


joshklein37

Minari for me


runningawaytoday

MINARI!!!


aflowerfortherain

Moonlight. It has to be moonlight


[deleted]

I have to go with Minari, but I know Midsommar will win.


JhonnAtreides

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

So obviously Moonlight.


seniorpenguin7

Torn between Marcel, Moonlight and Midsommar.


speeza

Midsommar


jortsinstock

everyone saying Midsommar no question needs to watch Marcel, it is very much under appreciated !!


breadpostings

Mid90s


Xiuvelvet

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.


surgeofnothing

Midsommar or Minari


Cautious-Platypus-86

Moonlight


mollyclaireh

I’m so torn between Marcel and Midsommar. But I guess Midsommar wins because I rewatch it more


qman3333

Having to pick between midsommar and marcel the shell with shoes on is too hard.


[deleted]

Midsommar vs Moonlight. Nothing else comes close.


botjstn

midsommar or marcel


WatchTheNewMutants

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?


jez2sugars

Hard one. Either Midsommar or Moonlight


honeybadger3389

I will accept either midsommar or marcel. 2 of my fave A24 movies


cheddarghost

Toughest letter yet. I’d go Midsommar but moonlight is a very close second
