The Most Self-Important List of The 21 Most Self-Important Movies of All Time

MAGNOLIA (1999)


The other side of The Ten Commandments (spoiler alert), the self-importance of this film is actually balanced out by its audaciousness and the forthright, open-all-the-seams empathetic portrayal of unraveling lives and some seriously flawed people. Few movies actually make me weep, but this one will, again and again. And that makes me feel important.

Magnolia (Amazon)

  1. Guess you don’t watch a lot of foreign cinema 😉 I can name a number of bonkytits pictures that leave most of these in the dust. Week End (1967), Fitzcarraldo (1982), Diabel (1974), The Laughing Woman (1969), Last Year at Marienbad (1961), anything by Lars von Trier… And how come Zabriskie Point (1970) didn’t make this list? Classic.

  2. You forgot the award in Magnolia: The Tom Cruise Award for the presence of the incomparably self-important Tom Cruise. I know… it’s so obvious it’s redundant…
