Not to be a little bitch but losing multiple MCU films immediately... Most pleasing to me.

I chose Endgame because I felt I had to give credit to how many hours and hours of entertainment I've had from the Marvel films throughout the last 15 years. I love my superhero flicks (as you will see later on) and this series has provided some of the best. I chose Endgame because of the experience at the cinema, I will never forget it. I was a bit hungover so my emotions were on shaky ground to begin with. Even with what had gone before it, I was not prepared for such a slam dunk ending.
I'd say the Leftovers was one of the most impressive TV shows I've ever seen. After the ricochet opening of confronting Thanos and then spiralling into a similar kind of future dystopia I was thrilled and totally engrossed. Yes it has its flaws but as a one time experience it was electrying. My heart was pounding throughout (probably the alcohol) and I was taken on a ride.
I really appreciated the bleak moments. Thor's storyline in particular of coping with depression and that moment with his mother was tender and sweet. Nebula's ark was hugely satisfying. But let's talk about that climax...just perfect. Absolutely remarkable. Everyone got their time to shine. For some reason I do not cry at most things. It takes A LOT but I was crying from the second that final battle begins to the minute those credits rolled and probably 15 mins after. It got me gal. All things considered Infinity War is probably the better film. However considering how many plates this film had to spin and the fact that it didn't smash one (maybe a couple of cracks here and there). In fact in some cases it span plates into the stratosphere. Overall the film has to be applauded and recognised in this list for its scale, ambition and incomparable movie experience.

Dracula is a great film, but I don't think I'd ever list it as one of my favourites, oh and I do plan on watching all the Avengers films one day.
Dracula is visually stunning, but it's let down by some uneven performances. Anthony Hopkins is playing the whole thing for laughs, and Keanu Reeves is hopelessly miscast.

I haven't seen Dog Day Afternoon in full but the hour of it I caught back when I had a TV was tense and arresting.
From this batch I've also seen Dracula and the Marvel films (like, all Marvel films ddd).

I wouldn’t count out Winter Soldier honestly. Aside from those two I feel like it’s the only other one with something to really say.
What! Fix this immediately. It didn't quite make my list (and I may regret it), but it's a top-tier Ghibli movie for me.

One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. The cinematography and score are haunting.

If Beale Street Could Talk barely missed my list.
I really liked Hail Caesar too.
No marvel movie made my list but Winter Solider is my favorite of them.
