1. 1
   Django Unchained (2012)

   ★★★★★

   From the opening moments, Quentin Tarantino’s cinema confidence is undeniable.

2. 2
   Inglourious Basterds (2009)

   ★★★★★

   The opening score sets the tone right away.

3. 3
   Spectre (2015)

   ★★★★½

   This film looks gorgeous. Hoyte van Hoytema really proves himself as a worthy successor to Roger Deakins.

4. 4
   Frankenstein (2025)

   ★★★★½

   I cannot help but admire again the acting, cinematography, and production design here.

5. 5
   The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)

   I like this better among all of Wes’ works.

   The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

   ★★★
7. 7
   Epic (2013)

   ★★★
8. 8
   Minions & Monsters (2026)

   ★★★

   Chaotically fun. It is super easy to get swept up by the happy vibes because the Minions are just so funny and adorable.

9. 9
   Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

   ★★½
10. 10
    No Time to Die (2021)

    ★★

    Honestly, they should have ended the Craig Bond series with Spectre so it could have ended on a higher note.

11. 11
    The Green Hornet (2011)

    ★★
