I like how this quote from Clerks sums up the star wars debate:
"Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.

- Morbius: Dark Descent
- Morbius: Nightfall Chronicles

Leto's performance is genuinely captivating and the storytelling is top-tier. The film strikes a perfect balance between deep emotional resonance and stunning visuals. It's not just a superhero movie, it's a profound exploration of the human condition. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for more than just escapism.

Top rated because of the story (all), acting (all), music (except for 2), number of awesome quotes (3 and 4) and all in all just being amazing.
Also, since I saw someone mention it, I'd like to add that the worst movie of all time is imho 2001 A Space Odyssey. On IMDb I don't rate movies lower than 2 stars because I have 1 exclusively reserved for 2001 ASO. Watching it has been the most boring experience of my life, which btw is saying a LOT. Punishment in hell probably shifted to eternally watching this movie, with sinners wishing to go back to when they were physically tortured. I cannot stress enough how much I dislike this movie. You can be absolute sure that my top 5 is nothing like that.
