Rank Denis Villeneuve's movies

I lived through the Montreal film scene when Villeneuve, Jean-Marc Vallee, and an 18-year-old Xavier Dolan were revolutionizing French-Canadian cinema. It was a very exciting time, but it was always Villeneuve that I kept an especially close eye on.

I've spoken to Villeneuve over the years about his films and decided to rank his films and include quotes from past interviews I've had with him about them.

I'd rank them:

INCENDIES
ARRIVAL
SICARIO
POLYTECHNIQUE
MAELSTROM
PRISONERS
ENEMY

1. Blade Runner 2049
2. Sicario
3. Dune
4. Incendies
5. Arrival
6. Prisoners

Incendies, Arrival and Prisoners are great films but don't have the rewatchability of BR, Sicario or Dune for me so they rank lower. Rewatchability is HUGE for me. Arguably the most important quality a film can have.
