My updated (but still provisional) top 10 so far:

Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In
Dune 2
Civil War
Late Night With the Devil
Abigail
The Holdovers
A Quiet Place: Day One
Poor Things
Furiosa
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

I expect Deadpool & Wolverine to steal the top slot. Other contenders: Longlegs, Joker 2, and possibly Alien: Romulus.

Worst: Madame Web

Hours ago I viewed Civil war. It was entertaining but not great.

Plemons' scene was 👍. He's 👍 at the remorseless killer role. In my mind I compared that scene to the cliched action scene in countless movies where there were so much killing. In that cliched scene, the deaths had little effect on me. Since the writer didn't establish some kind of connection to the viewer? Maybe? While in Plemons' scene, I didn't want Jessie and Lee to die, so the 2 Asians' deaths were effective for me. Also, Jessie, Lee, Joel and Tony didn't know what to say to Plemons' question. Does saying something matter? What's the right answer? So Plemons will let us go. I guess that type of writing makes tension.

Jessie going to the line of fire at the end was lame.
