Happy Tuesday, dear readers! Each week, we’ll rank the top 10 films in a specific category. While we aim to tie these lists to big releases, that won’t always be the case. Our goal? For you to enjoy, share your own lists, and join in on a lively, friendly debate. This is an interactive space to build community here at The Contending.
No fancy intros, no long essays – just a category and a list. Sound good?
This week, we’re diving into the ten best films from five-time Academy Award winner Francis Ford Coppola, director of The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now, The Outsiders, and more. Coppola returns with his most ambitious project yet, Megalopolis. You can read Clarence’s review here.
