The problem is that some of these I haven't seen since their theatrical release and I rarely watch a movie twice so some memories may be more nostalgia than anything and some may have faded from memory too much to remember how awesome they were. But I should say that I've enjoyed every Pixar movie I've seen.

01. Ratatouille 2007
02. Brave 2012
03. Incredibles, The 20044.
04. Up 2009
05. Toy Story 1995
06. Toy Story 2 1999
07. Monsters, Inc 2001
08. Bugs Life, A 1998
09. Inside Out 2015
10. Finding Nemo 2003


Haven't seen:
Finding Dory 2016 - meh, not really interested but will maybe see some day
Good Dinosaur, The 2015 - might see
Monsters University 2013 -Want to see, just haven't yet.
Cars 2006 - No desire to see. Just can't stomach Larry the Cable Guy.
Cars 2 2011 - Ditto^^
Wall E 2008 - Really want to see but keep forgetting to get the blu-ray
Toy Story 3 2010 - afraid to see - heard it was sad. Up was sad too but I was tricked - didn't know it would be sad. Up was still a great movie though.

In 1986, Luxo Jr. received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Short Film, and, well it was the genesis for everything computer-animated. I was totally blown away when I saw it at an animated film festival. Boy howdy, it was heady stuff back in the day, and none of us had a clue in what direction computer-animation was going to go.

This is tough, but here goes. Cars 2 was an easy last place. Toy Story 3 was easily the best of the trilogy, and I'm sad they are making Toy Story 4.

15. Cars 2 - could have done without it
14. Brave
13. A Bugs Life
12. The Incredibles
11. Monsters Inc
10. The Good Dinosaur
9. Ratatouille
8. Cars
7. Toy Story
6. Up
5. Toy Story 2
4. Wall-E
3. Toy Story 3
2. Finding Nemo
1. Inside Out

I know that this defies a sacrosanct tenet of Lounge philosophy, but there you go. Praised though it was (and remains) for its super-high quality animation, I've never been able to ignore how washed-out and pale it looks. The story was ok, but IMO it gets more credit than it deserves simply for having kick-started Pixar.

I also really like Cars, though it's become fashionable to hate it. Yes, it's the Doc Hollywood storyline and yes, it inflicts Larry the Cable Guy on innocent children, but overall I still give it high marks.

I've missed more than a few on the complete catalog, so I'll give an abbreviated "best" list:

1. Finding Nemo
2. Toy Story 3
3. Cars
4. The Incredibles
5. Up

On a list of the top 16, however, I would put Cars 2 somewhere around #500. What a terrible and disappointing film.

Many people love it. I thought it had clever moments, but overall it drags. And I too enjoy Cars, and I love the "Mater's Tall Tale" shorts, and completely agree that Cars 2 was an epic disappointment.

As you note, it has clever moments, but...

Mater's Tall Tales are good, in part, because that's about the top limit for how much Larry I can endure. And that's another reason why Cars 2 failed: it went from a folksy character-driven story to "100 intolerable minutes of Larry the Cable Guy."

Even my young sons, who've seen Cars approximately a zillion times, didn't like Cars 2.
