Jonathan Blow's favorite movies

2026-09-27 Sun ⏱ 0 min NinadSachania

A 28-second clip from a longer Jonathan Blow stream in which he answers the question "what are your favorite movies?".

Blow names four films: Excalibur, The Fountain, Mulholland Drive - which he calls his absolute favorite - and Upstream Color. He trails off after that, noting that the answer depends on what metric you are ranking movies by, which is about as close as the clip gets to a thesis: "favorite" is under-specified until you say what you are optimizing for.

The source stream is linked in the description (https://youtu.be/uespVhsPvd4).
