Rank Denis Vlleneuve's Movies

I lived through the Montreal film scene when Villeneuve, Jean-Marc Vallee, and an 18-year-old Xavier Dolan were revolutionizing French-Canadian cinema. It was a very exciting time, but it was always Villeneuve that I kept an especially close eye on.

I've spoken to Villeneuve over the years about his films and decided to rank his films and include quotes from past interviews I've had with him about them.

I'd rank them:

INCENDIES
ARRIVAL
SICARIO
POLYTECHNIQUE
MAELSTROM
PRISONERS
ENEMY

I'd recommend them all, but here's my ranking.

1. Prisoners
2. Incendies
3. Sicario
4. Arrival
5. Polytechnique
6. Enemy
7. Maelstrom
8. Un 32 aout sur Terre

His short film Next Floor is also worth watching.

Can't wait for Blade Runner 2049.
