The Tenet post made me want to nerd out with film lists. There are no rules, just make any list you want of any length, genre, subject, criteria, etc. It can be MCU films, Michael Moore docs, fantasy, rom-coms, etc. In fact, do it all!
Better yet, include five-star rankings. You can decide on your own criteria, but if you want something to follow, I'll come up with something. I'm consider two general factors: entertainment value and meaning/emotional resonance, and weighing them both for the ranking. Quality of film-making is obviously important, but this is meant to be entirely subjective: don't go by what you think is supposed to be great (you don't have to give Citizen Kane 5 stars), but what you think is great (or good, etc).
Again, whatever you feel inclined to list. You could also do worst films, most annoying, most titillating, best (or worst) Schwarzenegger films, worst films by ex-girlfriends of Ben Affleck, most British from an American perspective, favorite disaster films, all Star Wars and Star Trek ranked together (that would be fun), etc...whatever butters your toast.
Have fun!

5 stars: A truly great film, one of your favorites. Both very entertaining and very meaningful/resonant (to you). In your "Hall of Fame."
4 stars: An excellent film. Should be both very entertaining and at least somewhat meaningful, or vice versa, but lacks the fullness of your 5-star films.
3 stars: A good film. Could be really fun but forgettable, or really meaningful but not very fun.
2 stars: A meh film, but not horrible. The type of film you watch if you are empty inside, or simply have nothing else to do. It could be meaningful but really boring, or somewhat entertaining but totally empty of soul or depth.
1 star: A bad film. Why did you watch the whole thing? What is wrong with you?!
