Picking the best movie for every single letter of the alphabet: Contrary to the song, it’s not quite as easy as 1-2-3.
After all, some letters are a lot more popular than others. Just take the letter G. You’ve got The Godfather, of course. (And The Godfather Part II, for that matter.) There’s Ghostbusters, that’s a total ’80s classic. Few recent movies are better than Get Out. And arguably the most powerful film in the history of motion pictures starts with the letter G: Gymkata. How do you pick just one? And that’s just one letter! On the other end of the spectrum, there ain’t a whole lot of movies that start with the letter “U.” So this gets very tricky.
That didn’t stop us from trying, of course. Here are ScreenCrush’s picks for the best movie that starts with every letter of the alphabet, from A to Z. Obviously “The” and similar articles do not count for our alphabetical purposes. What kind of monster alphabetizes The Boss Baby under the letter T? Not me! Show that Boss Baby the respect he so rightfully deserves.
It should go without saying that this is entirely subjective and utterly meaningless. But that doesn’t mean it’s also not a fun exercise. Try it for yourself, but be warned: It’s really hard to pick just one G movie. The Great Dictator! There’s another one. Why do so many amazing films star with the letter G? It’s weird.
