Final Ranking of Films

Overall I enjoyed all movies watched throughout the semester some were just not of my interest but it still was good to learn about different cinematographic elements and styles. Below is my final ranking of the films:

Sherlock Jr.- Amazing stunts performed and a masterpiece of American cinema, better than Chaplin. 6
Freaks- Amazed by the people who played in that film, uncharacteristic horror film. 7
Detour- Interesting twist throughout film, enjoyed cinematographic elements of darkness and shadows over characters faces. 9
Awara- Overrated, didn’t not enjoy musical genre and cinematographic elements. 12
The Good The Bad and the Ugly- American classic, Clint Eastwood is the greatest western actor of all time over John Wayne. 4
Killer of Sheep- Underrated film, confusing at first but great metaphors and doesn’t matter that story does not have plot. 8
The Vanishing- Interesting take on serial killer film, was not as intimidating because you saw him fail several times. 10
My Own Private Idaho- Great cinematographic elements, as well as use of Shakespearian language. 5
O Brother Where Art Thou- Revival of bluegrass music, constant spiritual conversation between characters. 1
Wendy and Lucy- Didn’t care for the minimalist style. 11
Moonrise Kingdom- Framing of Wes Anderson was amazing, dialogue between characters great. 2

End of Watch- Impressed by different cinematography styles and making characters feel real. 3
