Editor's Note

Nailing the landing is notoriously the most difficult magic trick in Hollywood. A brilliant first and second act can be entirely derailed by a fumbled third act, leaving audiences walking out of the theater feeling completely cheated. But when a director actually pulls it off and delivers a flawless 10/10 ending, it elevates a simple piece of weekend entertainment into a transcendent work of art. The debate over which film claims the absolute top spot is vicious among cinephiles, primarily because it requires an alchemy of impeccable pacing, masterful acting, and a thematic resonance that lingers in your bones long after the credits roll.
