The 100+ Best Movies From 2019, Ranked By Fans

Jason  Bancroft

Looking closer at some of the best, most realistic, most brutal depictions of war in the history of entertainment.

Wars on Screen

From classics like Saving Private Ryan to newer entries like Dunkirk and 1917, this list ranks the <a href="/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best movies</a> about war, battles, and military conflicts. These films recreate some of the most <a href="/list/most-important-historical-events-of-the-20th-century/mwahahahaha?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">significant events</a> in world history from a variety of perspectives and with a variety of purposes and intentions. Some top war films attempt to recreate as realistically as possible the events they depict, either from an omniscient perspective permitted by historical study or from the point of view of the soldiers and civilians involved in the conflict itself. Ridley Scott&#39;s Black Hawk Down, for example, was both praised in its time and heavily criticized for bringing a &quot;you are there&quot; sense of realism - and little outside or cultural perspective - to a recreation of the Battle of Mogadishu. The best war movies of all time differ widely in their handling of the subject matter, but they all strike a chord with viewers now and in the time when they came out.

Some of the <a href="/list/best-war-movies-on-netflix/reference">greatest war films</a> use <a href="/list/historical-movies-made-before-event-ended/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">war as a backdrop</a> to look at larger issues - such as man&#39;s inhumanity to man or the crippling impact of post-traumatic stress - or just as a meditation on war itself. Still other films like Glory and Band of Brothers&nbsp;examine the personal drama of a few individuals, and mine it for larger insights about the meaning of war and the impact that violence has on individual human lives.

Finally, some war films - particularly those made during the classic Hollywood era - are simply adventure films with war providing a compelling setting and situation. The Great Escape, for example, remains a classic not because of its grand ideas about the nature of war, but because it is a ceaselessly entertaining spectacle. No matter what type of film, there&#39;s no denying that these are certainly the best war movies ever.

Vote up your favorite war films to move them up the list, and if <a href="/list/the-ultimate-favorites-list/stevo200?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">your favorites</a> are not yet represented, make your own version of the list and add them!

Popular Opinion

The&nbsp;best actors in film history are a great subject of debate. These are the greatest actors ever to appear on the silver screen - male only (to vote on both genders, check out this list of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-film-actors-and-actresses-of-all-time">the greatest film actors and actresses</a>). These gentlemen were part of some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time">greatest movies of all time</a> (or were perhaps the reason they were the best movies ever), with countless <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/Oscars">Academy Awards</a> between them.

What are the qualities of the best actors of all time? Remember, this is not simply about the most famous actors of all time, or the most popular actors. Is it the raw emotion they show, the parts they choose, their acting methods, or simply their effortless charm and charisma? There&#39;s no denying some of these amazing actors belong on the list of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/hottest-male-celebrities">hottest male celebrities</a>, but behind the 1000 watt smiles lies the talent that defines generations of top actors. An argument could be made for some on this list that they are the best actor in the world.

Who is the best actor of all time? Is it a classic actor like Marlon Brando, a comedic genius like Charlie Chaplin, a double-threat like Clint Eastwood, or a method actor like Daniel Day Lewis? There are so many choices for the greatest movie actor ever that you may have a hard time picking just one. Good thing you can vote for as many candidates for best actors ever as you&#39;d like.

Lists of fun facts and differing opinions about Hollywood's biggest, most self-congratulatory night.

The Oscars

There are many actors who haven&#39;t won an Oscar. For 95 percent of the acting population, there is probably a good reason they haven&#39;t taken home one of film&#39;s most prestigious honors. Only two actors per year can win either the best actor or best supporting actor Oscars, leaving eight other nominees with nothing.&nbsp;

But does the Academy always get it right? There are plenty of actors who haven&#39;t won an Oscar, despite the fact that they&rsquo;ve turned in amazing performances. Whether it&rsquo;s due to stellar competition, bad luck, or an out-and-out snub, some artists have never gotten the recognition they deserve. Of course, some actors - like the great <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/underrated-gary-oldman-movie-and-tv-roles/mike-mcgranaghan" target="_blank">shapeshifter Gary Oldman</a> - do finally get recognized after years without even a nomination, let alone a win.

Johnny Depp and&nbsp;Edward Norton&nbsp;are all big draws at the box office who haven&#39;t received the same respect of the Academy that they have from audiences. While they&#39;ve all been nominated for Oscars, they&#39;ve never taken home the big prize. Other top actors without acting Oscars include Liam Neeson, Robert Downey, Jr.. Matt Damon, and Michael Fassbender. This list of Hollywood celebrities who have no&nbsp;Academy Awards also includes Black actors, like Will Smith, and famous classic stars, like Peter O&#39;Toole and Cary Grant. How these people never won an Oscar will always be a mystery!&nbsp;

There are a surprising number of big name actors who haven&#39;t won an Oscar. Vote up the actors you think should&#39;ve taken home the trophy below. Then check back to see if your favorites topped the list!&nbsp;

'Cuz This Is Thriller

Best Movies

Here is a&nbsp;list of the best psychological thrillers of all time, ranked by fans who may or may not be trying to mess with your head! Though a variety of definitions for the &quot;psychological thriller&quot; genre have been offered, there is no universally accepted set of guidelines. In general, good psychological thrillers integrate personal character elements into <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/mystery-movies-and-films/reference " target="_blank">mystery</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-all-suspense-movies/reference " target="_blank">suspense films</a>, essentially toeing the line between a dramatic character study and the sort of plot structure you&#39;d expect from a detective movie. With that in mind, what do you think are the best psychological thriller movies Hollywood has to offer? Could some even be considered the best thriller movies ever?

Many of the top psychological thrillers resemble traditional thrillers or suspense films, only with a personal, internal antagonist rather than a traditional <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movie-villains-of-all-time" target="_blank">movie villain</a>. (For example, Repulsion or The Conversation, in which the plot is moved forward by the main character&#39;s growing paranoia and madness.) In many thrilling films of this type, the solution to the main character&#39;s conflict comes in the form of altering their perspective or discovering some buried truth about themselves and their past, rather than winning a fight or battling an opponent.

Many psychological thrillers play around with the main character&#39;s back story, or make use of an unreliable narrator. Films like Christopher Nolan&#39;s Memento present the audience with one perspective on the story, and then generate suspense by showing the ways in which &quot;reality&quot; contrasts to this perspective. (This sometimes, but not always, results in a &quot;twist&quot; or surprise ending based on the difference between the main character&#39;s perception and that of outside observers). Several Alfred Hitchcock movies&nbsp;utilize this technique, particularly movies like Spellbound and Marnie, in which the story concerns a character becoming mentally well after years of madness and confusion. Several of these films are critically acclaimed psychological thrillers.

This list contains the best thriller movies of all time. It is open and vote ranked, so be sure to vote for your favorites and add any other movies that may be missing at the bottom of the page.

What are the best recent action movies? Now is your chance to decide. There are a lot of modern action films to choose from. Action films have been wowing audiences&nbsp;for a long time, but they are currently more popular than ever. Advancements in computer technology&nbsp;-&nbsp;such as the ability to digitally erase safety wires - has allowed for the design and execution of never-before-possible stunts. New cinematography techniques and special camera equipment&nbsp;allow those stunts to be photographed as never before. In short, the best new action films make you feel as though you&#39;re participating in the danger right alongside the characters onscreen.

It also helps that several actors have shown a willingness to do their own stunt work, which provides the movies with an extra dose of realism. That sort of devotion gives them an extra edge of excitement.&nbsp;
