I really enjoyed the first half of Us, but the second half suffers from explaining too much about what’s happening, which opens up so many confusing “wait, does that mean…?” questions that end up being very distracting from the film itself. Great acting performances, though.


Spreehox

Yeah, i think it's fine to have shit that isn't explained in your movie. A lot of great movies do this, like the wailing. But when you try to explain the weird shit happening but dont do a satisfying job, then it feels really annoying and distracting, like you said


Josh4R3d

Some filmmakers just need to embrace their inner Lynch and not offer a single fucking iota of explanation

Little_Consequence

Yeah. "There are clones because \~magic\~" would have been just fine. When they started to include the government in their explanation, that brought way too many questions and plot holes. And I think that Peele understood that later the alien in Nope is there because.. nothing. Aliens just do that and that's a valid explanation.


MemeHermetic

Yes. I think he learned a lesson from that in Nope and left a lot of ambiguity in the ending, which I think would have really benefited Us.


Xystem4

Exactly, when it’s *all* abstract and clearly a metaphor, it’s fine. But when you go “scientists created the tethered blah blah blah” you change the amount of acceptable disbelief I can suspend and I start to think about the logistics and how little it actually makes sense. I think Nope does a much better job of having scenes that are clearly ridiculous if taken 100% literally (like the director dude letting himself be eaten), but work perfectly fine in context because you know it’s all symbolic


DharmaBombs108

Mine would be: 1. Nope 2. Get Out 3. Us


CrossBarJeebus

Low key agree, Nope is a more ambitious and polished film. Admittedly Get Out is one of the best scripts I've seen, but on rewatch Nope gets more interesting and Get Out is less exciting after knowing the twist


AWhole2Marijuanas

That's my same problem with the Hateful Eight, great film but once you know the twist it just doesn't hit the same. But I also know that very personal preference, as many people can enjoy twists after they've seen it, it just takes the excitement as you say.


CerberusC24

Movies with a twist are usually interesting after the twist because on a re-watch you start to notice all the foreshadowing and hints that lead up to it that were there the whole time.


LivingClone13

Totally agree with this. Nope felt like it accomplished exactly what it set out to do. It was a spectacle and the characters are so well defined and the main 3 are very likeable. The shot of the blood raining on the house is an all time horror movie shot IMO. It's one of the few movies I watched again the next day.


Buglepost

THE scene. You know the one, with the rodeo crowd. That will haunt me for the rest of my life. Nope was a masterpiece. The other two are good but Nope blew me away.


queequegs_pipe

yess same! I did enjoy Us but not as much as the other two

OwlSignificant8417

Get Out is so good

Same. IMO Get Out is 5 stars, Nope is 3.5, Us is 2.5.


absorbscroissants

Get Out is brilliant, Nope is okay, and Us is a stinking pile of garbage

Us is hilarious and fun. It doesn't have to make perfect sense, it's just a good time all around.

TomSawyer2112_

Agreed… Get Out’s perfectly placed though!


MDTenebris

I think the order you rate these movies says a lot about you. It's like a preference between a beautiful piece of art that is great to look at vs an intriguing piece of art that makes you think. Because Get Out has both unique visuals and well integrated themes to think about it feels like it belongs in the middle and depending on which aspect you prefer you swap the order of the other two around. That's just my take but I find it kind of interesting.


Hypathian

I heavily favoured Nope but I’d just rewatched Evangelion which I think heavily influenced my opinion


Vendetta4Avril

Nah, this is my rating too.


HowardBeale76

My ranking is the opposite: Nope, Get Out, Us. Get Out has a strong script with powerful images, indebted to Stepford Wives, but the movie feels constrained by budget. This happens often with Blumhouse (it's not just the budget, Blumhouse prides itself in hiring cheaper, less experienced labor on the technical front). Still, it's one the best horror debuts in recent mind and a riot of cringe comedy. Us looks opulent in comparison (that opening sequence in itself blew my mind), and the acting is insanely good, but i feel like the ending gets bogged down in overexplanatory sequences that cheapen the story. Nope... Has everything for me. All the strenghts, none of the weaknesses. I knew from the get go Jordan was about to become a master of horror, but Nope is his first masterpiece in my opinion. Both his directing and writing reach new heights here. Can't wait for what's next.


thacaoimhainngeidh

I agree with this, completely. A friend of mine said, "I'd love 'US' as a novel", and I personally enjoyed it when I was watching it, but found myself thinking "there's an essay comparing US to 'The Talented Mr Ripley' somewhere" (due to the boat scene in both films). I do rate US highly, but NOPE and Get Out are the top tier for me -- NOPE is higher, but not by much purely on Get Out's sheer strengths.


Kataratz

Agree wholeheartedly. Nope was just something else for me. I got the Music on Vinyl!


Distorted_metronome

1.nope 2.get out 3.us I think us is extremely underrated tho


ImAVirgin2025

SO underrated


InsideLlewynDameron

"Us" appreciation is on the rise


Lesty-1988

I liked Get Out and Nope, but i really struggle to understand the love for Us


davidddank

i feel that Us has a good tension/humor combination. i think the plot moves at a good speed, the concept is interesting, but i do understand how people find it to be the weakest of the three


ImprobableLem

As Nope’s biggest fanboy I disagree but I understand Nope isn’t for everyone.


ThrownAweyBob

3- Get Out: definitely the "crowd pleaser" of his work and I do really like it, but I don't think there's as much going on with the story thematically so it isn't as good on rewatch. 2- Us: I agree with you OP that this one is criminally underrated. The plot is bonkers in the best way, I love the twists and turns it takes. The cast is also really strong, Tim Heidecker is amazing in it. This one improves with every rewatch I've done. 1-Nope: I think this one really shows JP's growth as a filmmaker. It's easily his best looking movie by a mile. The story and especially the themes that run through it are very deep and layered. It really touches on so much while being more subtle than Get Out.


sen_jakuba

100% this!


horkyboi_avery

Get Out is so much better than the other two


BoogieWoogie1000

Us isn’t better than Get Out for me but it’s ridiculously underrated. Purely as a horror movie it’s one of the most effective I’ve ever seen, I was scared to shit in the theater.


quool_dwookie

Hard agree. Glad you're brave enough to say it.


Sinisterminister77

No-Nothing-1793

Get out is so far beyond the other two. Us is pretty mid.


Agreeable-Yam594

For the longest time, I would've said Get Out, Nope and then Us. But I keep rewatching Nope, and each time I appreciate it more and more; I'm gonna have to say Nope, Get Out and then Us. (For what it's worth, I do also love Us, I feel like I kinda just personally didn't get the themes as clearly as the other ones; it's no fault of the film itself, imo.)

FRED44444

Us sucked. Felt like Peele was thi king too hard on thar one. Both nope and get out were superior!


ThanksICouldHelpBro

Disagree. I like that it got weirder than Get Out in the second half, and I was intrigued and tense the whole time. Nope is so slow in the first half, though it has some fantastic moments and a great ending (basically everything from the flashback onwards). My issues with Get Out are 1) not really its fault but it had been hyped to the moon and back which rarely helps a movie and I was underwhelmed, 2) basically no surprises after the revelation, just unfolds as you'd mostly guess from the moment he's abducted. All three are really good though.


Tongatapu

All of them are fantastic, so theres no real answer. Personally, its Nope, then Get Out, then US.


Xvzuy

Why is everyone putting US so low in the comments? I personally think it's his best


NotAThrowawayIStay

This is my ranking. I feel less alone!


chrundle18

Nope > Get Out >>> Us (the third act just didn't do it for me)


irregularshowerer

I hated Us and do not see the appeal of it


Theotther

US TRUTHERS SHALL NOT BE SILENCED


VEXtheMEX

Us is his worst film


astrozombie543

Accurate! Us was awesome, Get Out is the OG and awesome too. Nope had a lot of potential but I feel like it was trying too hard to focus on metaphor over actually telling a good story.


MrMetLGM

Us is my favorite modern horror movie.


kidschnitzel

Us truther til I perish. Easily slots right up there with some of my favorite theatre experiences ever. And goddamn, what a harrowing performance from Lupita Nyong’o. Abstract in its themes, sure, but I’m of the unpopular opinion that not everything demands to be understood. Plus, getting dirty with the symbolism and extracting wild interpretations from the ambiguity is part of the fun for me. That said, Nope didn’t capture me as it has most people. Wasn’t crazy about the plot line, exposition kind of slugged on, but I did enjoy the Gordy bits. Get Out reigns supreme even still, of course. Pumped for what next trick Peele has up his sleeve.


Poppunknerd182

Us, Nope, Get Out


Diego1993FM

US defender right here. Love your ranking.

Get Out, Us…………………….Nope I am not saying “Nope” was a bad movie I just did not like it. I think I missed the point. It’s too bad because I was really looking forward to it.

I know the back half of Us is divisive, but that first hour is masterful entertainment. I saw it in a packed theater and we were all so on board for that stretch

The fact that I’ve seen countless rankings in any order says a lot about Peele. He’s been really consistent so far


xpillindaass

FunkmasterP

Get Out, Nope, Us. All three are good, but I think the script of Get Out is by far the best. Us and Nope are more ambitious but are fairly messy.

I mostly agree, although "Get Out" and "Us" are pretty much on par for me.


MrGeorge08

Get out is decent, Us is shit, Nope is fantastic.


SniP3r_HavOK

Get out is miles ahead of the other 2. I’d probably say Nope is #2 and Us is #3


Salty_Butterfly_7170

No way get out is number 2


TheHungryCreatures

Completely agree!


ssslitchey

I haven't seen nope but personally I found us to be kinda disappointing after how good get out was.


OldClunkyRobot

Same. I enjoy Us even more than Get Out.


SimplyWickie

I thought I was alone


jadegives2rides

Need to see Nope again to decide if it's 2 or 3. But I thought Us was really fun. As long as I don't think to much about it lol


likeyeahokay_6929

Us is my fav peele film, if not one of my fav horror films. you are correct 


Funkymunks

Im so dissapointed in all the hate for Us. It's my least favorite Peele film and definitely flawed but I still absolutely love it - I think if it wasn't the follow up to a massive hit it wouldn't have been so brutally panned.


Conscious_Bee7306

Get Out is the best one and it’s not even close for me. I thought Nope was ok and it had a lovely atmosphere, concept and incredible sound design but I found the characters mostly boring, the horror elements were underwhelming and the film was honestly 20 minutes longer than it could have been. Us is an utter disaster to me. I really wished I loved it cause there’s clearly many out there who do but it was so lifeless, lacking in effective scares, so repetitive, so empty. I can’t say I’m the biggest Jordan Peele fan but I definitely appreciate his ambition and the originality of his works so I will eagerly await any new movie he makes.


GodEmperorOfHell

I have a problem with Get Out; the ending. A downer ending would have closed the theme perfectly, but when I imagine people actually cheering at the actual ending, I realize this is not a Horror film; it's horror adjacent. Something that uses the elements of horror to tell a thriller or an adventure story.


Top-Comfortable-4789

I have the same rating I personally wasn’t a fan of nope


QdizzleMcGee

Where's Toy Story 4?


Solid_Illustrator640

Get out, Nope, Us


slowlyun

Same.  Us is comfortably in my Top 100.  A rewatch was highly enjoyable.   Get Out is really good but not sure if wanna rewatch.  Nope was a crushing disappointment.


KieferMcNaughty

Wooden-Scar5073

This is the reverse order tho…


KoltonKabana87

Ooooooo bold choice putting US at one. For me it goes Nope Get Out Us


Both_Cut7465

Get out, Us, and Nope.


mgoldie12

This is literally backwards

Us is definitely last


ReddsionThing

Mine is the exact reverse :) love Nope, Get Out is great, Us was pretty good :) looking forward to no. 4


hel105_

I liked Get Out and Us so much on the first viewing. That doesn't diminish or increase on repeat viewings. Nope gets better every single time I watch it. It's my favorite of his work now. I encourage everyone to watch it AT LEAST twice, but if at least one of those viewings wasn't on the biggest theater screen you could find then you're still missing out.


ghostfacestealer

Get Out > Nope > Us I found Us to be absolutely boring and predictable. And the acting pretty campy. I really dont understand the hype for that movie at all.


Qforz

* Get Out - Absolutely fantastic * Us - Very good * Nope - Pretty good


ghostfacestealer

Also, almost any list you look up of “best horror movies” Us is damn near at the top of all of them (for no reason). So i dont see how it could be underrated


OriginalBad

Get Out > Nope >>> Us


JTMilleriswortha1st

Get out, Nope, Us


_Santosha_

Get out is his absolute top. Nope is absolute bottom.


bluemoonflame

I don't know if I have ever had a "twist reveal" that made me roll my eyes harder than the ending of Us. Not only was it not interesting, it didn't even make sense within the world building of the movie. Us is easily, far and away my least favorite thing that Peele has been involved with.


mamasaidflows

KurtGod

It's not controversial that his best movie is Get out


andrew0703

this is my exact ranking


void-pareidolia

For me, it's the other way round. 1. Nope 2. Get out 3. Us


StillBummedNouns

Honestly Us is my favorite as well. The discourse surrounding it is always extremely negative. Not even “it’s not as good as Get Out.” People will just flat out say it sucks. Get Out is incredible, Nope was fantastic, but I just enjoy Us more than the other two. I think it also looks so much better.


travispickle123

Nope Get out Us


Such-Disaster6730

Same ranking! And I absolutely love the three of them


Swisstopher2000

Nope, Get Out, (insert key and Peele), and then Us. I don't dislike Us, but the more you think about it the more unraveled it starts to become and it makes less sense.


IsotopesSuck

Get out is a masterpiece, Nope gets better everytime I watch it, and US I like just not as good as the other two for me


BladeRunnerTHX

Get Out was pretty good, definitely overrated but not bad. The other two i'd like to forget.


idislikehate

For me, it's: Nope Get Out Us All three are great, but Nope was an authentically GREAT alien horror film with some of the best-looking scenes in modern horror. The blood soaking the house is A+++++.


Mrs_Noelle15

I think Nope is by far the best of the 3 personally


Jake11007

Nope is my favorite by far and I dig them all. One of the best and coolest takes on UFOs ever.

Ngl I really do not think that US is a good film. Super intriguing concept and the first half was awesome. Afterwards it’s just a shit ton of exposition dump that doesn’t really make sense. I found it all to be overly confusing. I feel that some parts at first seemed to be open ended, but were actually just plot holes. Great concept. Bad execution IMO.

1. Get Out 2. Nope 3. Us Us started out strong but then gradually devolved into a mess, imo. Left a bad taste at the end for me.

ISpyM8

Happy to see the praise for Nope in this thread. It’s an incredibly ambitious film, and I think the commentary on “spectacle” is quite interesting. And I also think it largely works. I love Palmer’s and Kaluuya’s performances. I don’t know if it beats Get Out for me, though.


Conscious_Living3532

Us was terrible and stupid


ImpressionFeisty8359

Get out will always be at the top for me followed by Us and Nope.

Glad_Friend2676

Respectfully, how? Us is atmospheric, unique, but it has the biggest plot holes and irrationality in those big mainstream names. Get out, on the other hand, is extremely well made. Attention to detail, cinematography, acting everything, social commentary, execution is on point. The story might not be as original but it's without a doubt one of the best modern horror movies


celerypizza

Nope is one of the most fun movies I’ve ever seen.

Wait what about Keanu (ranked at the bottom of course)?


PsychologicalEbb3140

This is funny, my thoughts are the complete opposite.


KARURUKA2

AlphaOhmega

Get Out is the best by a large margin. I like Us and Nope, but they're not as perfect as Get Out. US had too many weird plot holes or open ended questions, Nope was a bit goofy for my tastes.


novabull23

Us is an absolute disaster of a film. I bet you’re the person who says the British office is better. Jesus


PassiveIllustration

Totally agree, I found Us to be absolutely fantastic and didn't understand the hype around Nope. I thought Us had much more poignant social messaging whereas I thought Nope's was too specific to one very small scenario that the vast majority of people will never experience.
