Eh - that story doesn't surprise me. Ron Perelman did a pretty crappy job overall. Perlmutter, please don't take notes - I suspect you have, but still.

But if there's one thing good the Venom movie gave us, it's the 1:16 meme. Admit it.

I was trying to say that you putting it in your Top 5 naturally made me even more excited, and then used Age of Ultron to show I still have some convincing to do. Well if you want some context, I don't go into most of these movies expecting any of them to break it into the top 5. And in most cases they don't, but that's usually because the ones that are already in it I've seen more than once. I still need to get around to rewatching 'GotG Vol. 2', 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', and 'Thor: Ragnarok' to see if they've earned a place in it or not.

Before 'Black Panther', my 5th spot wasn't even solidified. It was still a toss-up between 'Iron Man 1' and 'Doctor Strange' (both of which I've seen more than once), but ended up with 'Iron Man 1' for that spot. So don't take it that my top 5 is infallible and not subject to change. I'm still in the process of rewatching the MCU movies to prep for 'Infinity War'.

Usually, if I see the critical scores are really high, I make some preparations to put it in my Top 5. I made my list after seeing Doctor Strange, and since then both Homecoming and Ragnarok have made moves on that position, with Homecoming actually getting #5. As of now, Black Panther is with those two, but I at least hope it doesn't break the Top 4, because those movies are superhero film landmarks. Infinity War, however, is one that I hope goes all the way, because, well, Infinity War (and if not that, maybe Avengers 4).

I can understand people would judge a movie differently based on personal preferences, but I leave those at the door with the list. Basically, I see the terms "favorite" and "best" as two separate things. "Favorite" is when my personal preferences come into play, like what causes the biggest nerdgasms and what I most fondly remember, and "Best" is when I look strictly at the fundamentals, like good story and characters. I only see reason in arguing about it when it involves "Best", not "Favorite", since what makes others' boxes tick and what make mine tick are totally different, but everyone knows what makes a good film. Also, I need to do some rewatching as well.
