Updated since the last ranking in January of this year.
Note: Still not including James Bond films in this ranking. They are their own thing and I couldn't begin to compare them to these.
Also: I'm close to removing Marvel Cinematic Universe movies as well. Only the Avengers remains in my top 30 anyway, at this point. I love those movies but, like Bond, it's a different experience from other films.
Finally: There's been some movement.
Biggest rise: Kingdom of Heaven. I love it more every time I watch it, and discover something new every time. (Also Star Trek: The Motion Picture continues to rise as I rewatch it and enjoy the score.)
Biggest fall: Babe. I tried to watch Babe again recently and just wasn't into it anymore. Which is sad.
The original cut of Star Wars, restored by "Harmy" as a download, has moved Star Wars back to #1 and it remains there this time around. Fellowship held that spot from about 2002 until 2015.
