    Right now, I think Dune: Part Two is second only to Blade Runner 2049 (which is my favorite sci-fi movie ever), but this could change any day. I love Denis so much. He’s a filmmaker who means so much to me, and he’s my favorite filmmaker period.

    I understand why Sicario is low on a lot of people's lists but it's my personal favorite. Most directors would die to have one scene as intense as 3 or 4 scenes from Sicario. It doesn't have the huge scope a lot of Villenueve's other films have but that's why it stands out to me. It feels more like a documentary at times.

      I agree, I was just thinking about this after watching Dune part two a couple hours ago and that Sicario is just a movie that exceeds everything it should be, it goes beyond the average grounded gritty realistic gang war movies and just makes things such as wide shots of cars entering the city or whatever hit way more than planets exploding etc etc. Roger Deakins is the best cinematographer alive imo, a movie so grounded and so unfavored by it's locations and surroundings shouldn't look that good.

    Great commentary as always Sean! Dune 2 has cemented Denis as my favorite director, every movie I’ve seen of his is one of my favorites so it’s hard to rank but here goes:
    5. Arrival (9/10) - unique thriller that is a fascinating dive into linguistics, only issue is the actual learning was skipped over heavily in the middle but otherwise brilliant
    (The rest are 10/10 in my eyes)
    4. Blade Runner 2049- captures the atmosphere of the original perfectly, Gosling is compelling and so tragic. My only gripe is it’s just very depressing but it’s an all time best scifi film
    3. Dune- love the worldbuilding, characters, audio and visuals are mindblowing and a perfect adaptation of Herbert’s novel
    2. Sicario - nail biting all the way, grounded and brutal and man that dinner scene is jawdropping. The horror is that this seems like something that the government could be doing right now, and seeing Blunt unravel what’s really happening is so thrilling
    1. Dune part two- everything I said about Dune but turned up to 11 with some fantastic payoffs. This was the best theater experience I’ve had, the atmosphere (especially on Geidi prime) was so gripping, the dark turn in the story is a believable and horrifying tale of fanatical leaders while still giving such a satisfying conclusion

    Dune Part One is fabulous too. Denis Vellenuve just happened to make Dune Part Two and should now be in the conversation with the greatest Science Fiction films ever made. And it's better than Blade Runner 2049 which I think is a masterpiece of the genre too.
    Denis Vellenuve is a master of the art... and my favorite director.

    I actually predicted this ranking from you Sean based on what you love about film. I personally put Blade Runner 2049 as his best, closely followed by Arrival and then both Dune films. When I rewatch Dune 2 I'll be able to say for sure if I like it more than the first, I think I do, but just gotta clarify.

    If I had to rank Villeneuve's work, it'd be as follows:
    #7. Enemy
    #6. Prisoners
    #5. Dune
    #4. Arrival
    #3. Dune: Part Two
    #2. Sicario
    #1. Blade Runner 2049
    2049 is *a masterpiece*. The first time I saw it I walked away with tears in my eyes. Beautiful, thought-provoking, flawless. The original Blade Runner is my favorite film of all time, so the fact that Villeneuve was able to make a fitting and meaningful sequel to something that never needed one is a testament to the genius of his craft.

    Good video Sean. Villeneuve is a massive inspiration for me and him and Nolan are the best directors in terms of mainstream Hollywood film making. Would love to see him do a Star Wars, but very unlikely he would do because of the way Lucasfilm and Disney are run at the moment unfortunately 😢

  • @Edowin-jz2sj

    I haven't seen Dune Part 2, Sicario, or Enemy, but I would find it to be a near impossible task to rank The Arrival, Prisoners, and Blade Runner 2049 as they are all 10 out of 10 masterpieces and are easily among the best movies I've ever seen.
    In regards to Dune Part 1, I thought it was good, but not on par with this previous movies and I found it very difficult to like any of the characters outside of Jessica and Duncan. But it's entirely possible that Dune Part 2 could make me change my mind once I'm able to put the complete story in perspective. I'm really looking forward to seeing it!

  • @MichaelTomsyck
    @MichaelTomsyck 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    7. Enemy-While there’s plenty of well done technical elements of this film, this isn’t a form of storytelling that I connect with much, which doesn’t make for a satisfying experience for me
    6. Arrival-A rock solid sci-fi film that takes heady ideas about how language functions and packages them in profound themes of human emotion to make for intelligent sci-fi that Villeneuve is great at delivering
    5. Sicario-A tightly paced thriller that focuses more on the smaller details of the plot and great performances from great actors instead of quick pacing and action sequences to make for a satisfying addition to Villeneuve’s great filmography
    4. Prisoners-A fantastically well acted, directed, and written film that uses child abduction as a mechanism to explore the concept of ordinary people having the ability to become monsters that’ll stop at nothing to achieve their goal
    3. Dune: Part One-A fantastic introduction to this world that treats its audience with its political intrigue, large scale world building, and technical achievements, making for a movie I absolutely love and keep being drawn back towards
    2. Dune: Part Two-An epic second half to this great story that has beats of a hero’s journey while challenging its audience at the same time, all with excellent performances, expansive world building, and complex character dynamics from beginning to end
    1. Blade Runner 2049-Despite not being a big fan of the original Blade Runner, that doesn’t stop this movie from being an incredibly powerful exploration of what it means to be human, identity, and the nature of reality with great characters, a compelling story, and breathtaking visuals tying those themes together, which all makes for an absolutely phenomenal piece of science fiction

I would give Dune and Balde Runner 2049 7/10, great movies just not quite for me. Dune Part 2 I'd give an 8/10, a movie that I didn't love but completely understand why it is getting the praise it is. Finally I give Arrival a perfect 10, a top ten movie for me.

    4. Blade Runner 2049 drags at times, but it was still really good.
    5. Sicario was a good one-time watch.
