Rogue One is the best of the Disney era SW films, and the more I watch it, the more I rank it right up there with the OT. If I were on a desert island and could only have four movies, I think I would choose R1, AND, TESB and ROTJ.

And Fury Road is in a master class all by itself. It elevated the action movie to pure art.

I think Rogue One is the only watchable Disney Wars movie after thinking about it. The others really have very little rewatchability.

Blade Runner exceeded my expectations, which surprised me.

Fury Road gets my vote. Rogue One and Logan get my second and third.

I liked BR2049 initially but with each viewing I like it less.

The Last Jedi is a turd and will always be a turd.

My opinions on The Dark Knight are well known so I won't go into how it is the most overrated thing ever created by mankind since cave paintings again.

I've rewatched Rogue One probably 10 times, maybe 12. It's my obsession on tumblr. I've watched TFA 3, maybe 4 times. Solo 2 times and I've only seen TLJ once.

The Dark Knight and Blade Runner: 2049 are tied for me. Slight edge to TDK mostly because of Hitler

Tough call, because I really liked Logan, Star Trek and Fury Road, but The Dark Knight was like the "Godfather" of comic book films. It's brilliant.
