Must admit, when I realised you were heading for BODY DOUBLE in first position, I had to chuckle. I'd put FEMME FATALE there but otherwise I think this is a very well reasoned and very smart ranking, Congrats.

Wow. Awesome analysis. Some disagreement. I'd rank Casualties of War WAY higher and Redacted WAY lower. The Director's Cut of Raising Cain is 9th on my list.

However, love Body Double and I think Femme Fatale is De Palma's masterpiece.

Thank you so much! The beauty of this exercise was seeing some movies vault from the teens on my personal list to the highest reaches of the rankings after watching again (Carlito's Way). Could absolutely see it happening to CoW or Raising Cain on rewatch 🤝

Thanks for respecting De Palma. It's amazing how Femme Fatale rose through my ranks. Also, the Director's Cut of Cain just switches narratives around the way the original script intended.
