All-Time Movie Rankings | Chris Lambert

by 5 Comments

This is a live list of all the movies I’ve watched since beginning this list in 2022. A lot of older movies won’t make the list until I rewatch them. The movies within a tier are in alphabetical order. If you don’t see something on here, give it time. Use the comments to ask about anything or make a request or suggestion.

I favor scope, scale, and depth. If something is higher than you’d expect, it’s probably because it did one of those things very well. If something is lower than you’d expect, it’s probably because it frustrated me.

  1. You’re young, so you might not know any of my generation’s favorite action movies – but if you do, what’s your opinion of those old “Men on a Mission” movies? Like Where Eagles Dare, Kelly’s Heroes, The Dirty Dozen, The Guns of Navarone, etc… Or any Sean Connery Bond movie. Nothin’ serious, of course. Just popcorn stuff. I would be interested to know what you youngins think of those old gems.

    • Hey Jerry! I have not seen any of those. But I’ll put them on the watch list. I’m trying to catch up on some bigger ending explanation movies and current year movies. Then want to start taking requests for all-time rankings. I should go through all the Bonds one day and make a ranking of those.
