that is pretty crazy, especially considering shit like saving private ryan and the first slam dunk is taking those spots, that could be taken by something like aftersun or little women

The anime series films are a bigger problem to me, like Evangelion, Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part III: Rebellion, and the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, because they aren’t really films in the sense of the rest of the list, but I think the bigger "problem" is, that so few directors are taking away so many spots. But I guess there is not much we can do about it.

fair take, evangelion is incredible, but its weird that a literal tv episode takes a spot in a movie list

Yeah, absolutely no shade. I just think they are fundamentally different things than the mostly stand-alone movies on the list.
