We Try To Agree On A Top 10 Movies List

Watch The Video Version Here

A top 10 movies of all time list sounds like a fun family activity until you have to agree on one ranking with three other people who will absolutely call you out. We make it harder on purpose: everyone throws five movies into a hat, we only use films all four of us have seen, and we place each pick on the list immediately without knowing what’s coming next. That one rule turns a simple movie ranking into a real-time draft full of bad strategy, strong opinions, and a lot of laughing.

The hat delivers instant curveballs: do you reward pure rewatch value like School of Rock, respect-heavy filmmaking like No Country for Old Men, or pure “this is a classic” energy like Back to the Future? We argue about what makes a movie truly great, where nostalgia helps or hurts, and why some titles feel unbeatable even when someone at the table is not impressed. Along the way we lock in rankings for Terminator 2, Project Hail Mary, The Muppets (2011), E.T., and Toy Story 3, then reveal the full list including our number one pick, Step Brothers.

After the rankings, we do a bonus round twist where each person gets one change, which leads to a few satisfying fixes and a couple of choices that spark new debates. We also share quick personal highlights from the week and end on the kind of off-the-rails family banter you’d expect from Relatively Terrible. If you love movie debates, film list drama, and comedy that feels like a real living room argument, hit play, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review with your own top 3.

The Challenge And The Rules

SPEAKER_01 0:00

SPEAKER_02 0:36

Our family top 10 movies.

SPEAKER_01 0:39

But not family movies. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 0:40

Okay. Yeah, not family movies. As a family, what is our top 10 list? So one of the rules, or the way we decided to set this up, is that we would all pick five movies, and they had to be movies that all four of us have seen. We put those five movies into a hat. We are each going to pick ten, or we're all gonna pick, and then we're going to decide where in the list of ten it goes.

SPEAKER_01 1:12

So we're gonna pick the movie, decide where it goes in the list without knowing what movies are next. Oh boy. Oh boy. So And whatever is left in here, we'll we will tell you what they are as honorable mentions.

SPEAKER_02 1:24

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:24

Does that sound good? Mm-hmm. This is how Gen Z does a pick from the hat. It's okay, Cal. It's like straw in here.

unknown 1:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:31

You have to describe it.

SPEAKER_01 1:32

Alright, what's the first movie you got? Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:34

Alright.

First Picks And Instant Arguments

SPEAKER_01 1:36

First movie is School of Rock. I vote to put that at seven. I was gonna say seven as well. Seven.

SPEAKER_00 1:44

Seven's pretty accurate.

SPEAKER_02 1:46

I'll I'll go. I'll go with that. Wow, we actually are fighting about it.

SPEAKER_00 1:50

I didn't get death threats. What death threats from my brother. Because if you said ten, I was gonna come at you. No, that is not number ten. Alright.

SPEAKER_02 1:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

If we get the muppets, that is going at me.

SPEAKER_02 2:01

Alright, I'll put you hold it. I'm gonna pick. Ooh, no country for old men.

SPEAKER_00 2:11

Five. Nine. I'm gonna say three. Nine. I watched that movie uh last Christmas and was left thinking, huh? Good.

SPEAKER_02 2:22

That's how So he said, Jackson, you said five.

SPEAKER_01 2:25

Yeah, dad said three. I think we should go in the middle there. Four. I would say four, so I'm fine with four, but it's not going as low as nine.

SPEAKER_02 2:33

No, it can't be nine. But I I understand your your opinion is weighted. So I would also put it at three. So I'm gonna say yours would drag it down to a four. Okay. That's okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

Go ahead. Okay. I got oh, back to the future. That is three. No. That is three. I would say two. I would say five. That's three. That sh that's not better than no country for old men. What do you say, Rach?

SPEAKER_02 3:03

I would probably put that at four or five. Um you're saying two. Yep. You're saying what?

SPEAKER_00 3:11

Three.

SPEAKER_02 3:11

And you're saying five. I say we do three.

SPEAKER_00 3:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 3:14

I think that's.

SPEAKER_00 3:16

Oh, I completely disagree with that. No, it does not go above no country for old men. You're agreeing with that. You think it goes I guess it goes above no country for old men.

SPEAKER_02 3:24

Yeah, it's a little bit more of a classic.

SPEAKER_01 3:26

Yeah. You guys are freaking stupid, then. That is stupid. Our first big debate. Do you realize that we took no country for old men from nine up to four? Because so we're we're trying to do this fairly.

SPEAKER_00 3:41

This is what I meant! By families cannot do this! If I get the Muppets, I'm putting that at nine. You know you're not. You can't do stuff out of spite! I know, I know.

SPEAKER_01 3:56

Muppets is ten.

SPEAKER_00 3:57

What? You guys are insane.

SPEAKER_02 3:59

It makes the top ten list. Okay, here we go.

SPEAKER_00 4:01

Alrighty. What did I what'd you get? Terminator 2. 10. Ooh. No. 10. I think six.

SPEAKER_02 4:09

Here's the thing, though.

SPEAKER_01 4:11

What's the thing?

SPEAKER_00 4:12

It's a good movie. But I'm not like uh it's 10.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

I I think it is for me it's 10. It was an afterthought for me. Well, hold on a second.

SPEAKER_02 4:23

Knowing Aliens is still in there, knowing Project Hell Mary is still in there, knowing like I feel like there's something just a little bit worse.

SPEAKER_00 4:30

So I would say nine. I would play it safe and say nine, because there's gonna be something worse than that.

SPEAKER_01 4:35

Yeah, we're gonna end up having to put Toy Story 3 at 1.

SPEAKER_00 4:38

Um, yeah. Can we go?

SPEAKER_02 4:40

Okay, what do we say? Let's do nine. Let's do nine, okay. This is the last time I tried you like this.

SPEAKER_00 4:45

I'm interested. I swear, if you guys put Muppets at 10, you're freaking insane. Terminator 2? And Terminator 2 is like a 7.5 out of 10. Okay, five.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

I pray right now we do not pick Muppets out of here. You're gonna pick Muppets out. I'm kinda hoping we don't either, because it'll just cause Can you hold it so I don't cheat?

SPEAKER_00 6:26

Oh, but Project Hail Mary at two. Man, I'm sorry, Lotto alone destroys Project Hail Mary. No. Yes. Lotto better than Rock.

SPEAKER_02 6:34

I don't know what we're gonna end up with. What is number one? It's gonna be crazy.

SPEAKER_00 6:39

Alright. So disappointed. Because if we get Rec Rowley, it's gonna be. We should have put Terminator 2. What do you got? Oh, ten. This is a 10. Godzilla King of Monsters. Ten. Why am I getting the G movie? See, that should have been nine. That movie's better than Terminator 2. No. No. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No, it's not. We knew someone. No, it's not.

SPEAKER_02 6:59

I look back at Terminator 2 and I'm like, that movie is. If you had chosen Godzilla minus one, I'd be voting to put that number one.

Bonus Round One Change Each

SPEAKER_01 8:44

Everyone can make one change. The only thing you can't do is change number one.

SPEAKER_00 8:50

Okay, alright. So if that's true, then I'm putting Toy Story 3 at 2.

SPEAKER_01 8:54

So and so then you're switching.

SPEAKER_00 8:56

So Project Hair Mary will be. Oh, so then if I do that, Terminator 2 will be 10. So it's a win-win. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_02 9:03

No, it wouldn't. You're just swapping just a little bit. And Project Hell Mary goes down.

SPEAKER_00 9:08

I did not think that's it. Five, two.

SPEAKER_02 9:11

What do you want to change, Jackson?

SPEAKER_00 9:13

Oh, wait, can I do that?

SPEAKER_02 9:14

I don't think so. I can do that. You can remove something. Oh, would you swap something?

SPEAKER_00 9:19

You can't swap. You can only remove it and I would replace the Dark Knight with uh remove E T and put the Dark Knight. No, I'm rem- I'm getting rid of Back to the Future and putting the Dark Knight at number one.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

Getting rid of Back to the Future?

SPEAKER_00 9:34

That's horrible. That's horrible. Give it to me. That's horrible.

SPEAKER_01 9:49

Oh, that's I am getting rid of Terminator 2 and putting Back to the Future. Smart. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 9:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:57

And then what are you doing, Rach? Anything?

SPEAKER_02 9:59

I would get rid of Godzilla. And yeah, I would put in Aliens.

SPEAKER_01 10:04

Nice.

SPEAKER_02 10:04

I would put an Alien over Inception.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

So the final list is 10, Alien, 9, Back to the Future, 8, The Muppets, 7, School of Rock, 6, E.T. 5, Project Hail Mary. Like it should be. 4. No country for old men. 3. The Dark Knight. 2. Toy Story 3. And 1, Stepbrothers.

Wins This Week And The Wild Exit

SPEAKER_01 10:34

my god. I had fun hanging out with Peter Prankster, going to the movies, seeing Toy Story 3 uh 5 again.

SPEAKER_00 10:42

For the fourth time.

SPEAKER_01 10:43

For the fourth time. And then having burgers and stuff. That was really that was a good time.

SPEAKER_02 10:48

I liked on 4th of July watching movies, which we watched Inception.

SPEAKER_00 10:53

Very great movie.

SPEAKER_02 10:54

And then watched The Thing.

SPEAKER_00 10:56

That was also a very good movie. Not very good.

SPEAKER_02 10:59

You didn't like The Thing?

SPEAKER_00 11:00

No. Why? Oh my god. I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_02 11:02

You didn't really care for it?

SPEAKER_01 11:05

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

Uh somebody was promoted.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

You got a promotion after working at a job for a month. Yeah, that's cool. Great.

SPEAKER_02 11:16

The place he hasn't stopped talking about since the beginning of the year.

SPEAKER_01 11:21

Yep. But I guess that wasn't that good. No, it was great.

SPEAKER_02 11:25

I just try not to toot your own horn. Right. What? Have you never heard that phrase, toot your own horn?

SPEAKER_00 11:35

Calvin doesn't have to be.

SPEAKER_02 11:37

If you really never heard that phrase.

SPEAKER_00 11:39

What do you think toot your own horn means? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 11:42

Sing your own praises. Like talk about yourself.

SPEAKER_00 11:45

I have never heard a Calvin you don't pay attention.

SPEAKER_02 11:48

Jackson, you know that phrase. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 11:50

Calvin doesn't pay attention. My lord.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

Well, they use that phrase a lot in the 70s music, so definitely knows it.

SPEAKER_00 11:57

No, they don't.

SPEAKER_01 11:58

Oh, did they use it at your retirement club?

SPEAKER_00 12:01

I have never heard someone say toot, toot your own phrase. Because you're 14. You're fine. You're fine.

SPEAKER_02 12:06

No, it's okay. It's just funny.

SPEAKER_00 12:07

I would hear someone say that.

SPEAKER_01 12:09

Because you're 72. That's Jackson.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

I thought that was just a more common phrase.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

You haven't heard anyone say I don't want to sing my own praises.

SPEAKER_02 12:18

What would Gen Z say instead of toot my own horn?

SPEAKER_03 12:21

Skippity up that ass, yeah! See?

SPEAKER_02 12:32

How far?

SPEAKER_00 12:33

I was not far off. That was pretty close. No, I was making on my own.

SPEAKER_02 12:38

We're supposed to say, and that was relatively terrible.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

You know what was good this week for you? You got to put Toy Story 3 at number two on this list. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 12:50

Should we do this again?

SPEAKER_01 12:52

Yeah, with everything. We're just gonna cause a ton of as long as we can come down here and not be dicks to each other.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

I think we should do, I think we should do local restaurants.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

I think we should do favorite toilet papers.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

They don't know the difference.

SPEAKER_01 13:07

What do you wipes, number one? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:10

No, can't be.

SPEAKER_00 13:11

Why?

SPEAKER_02 13:12

Because I can't use it. Why can't you use it?

SPEAKER_00 13:14

The problem with normal toilet paper, at least in my experience, is that sometimes it will get stuck in your butt. That's a fact! It will get stuck in your butt and your butt hairs, so then you have to personally pink out. Who invented toilet paper? They are stuck. That's my dude vipes. It's wet, so then it doesn't get stuck and gets the poop out.

SPEAKER_01 13:36

Why did the guy who invented toilet paper not invent a shaver for the crack of your ass?

SPEAKER_00 13:41

Well, and the problem is that you have to use like so much toilet paper at one time, so then it fully covers your hand.

SPEAKER_01 13:49

Yep. Make sure to wash your middle finger after.

SPEAKER_00 13:52

Well, sometimes sometimes you'll accidentally get poop on your hand. That is relatively terrible. What the f-
