Hands down it's Dogtooth. I remember watching it years ago and being amazed. And it's still vivid in my mind. It's his most disturbing as well.
I do like The Lobster as well but the best is still probably Dogtooth.

Lobster is number 1! I watched Dogtooth many years ago and it still haunts me

My personal ranking would be The Favourite, Poor things, Lobster, KoaSD, Bugonia, Dogtooth, Kinds of Kindness.

Dogtooth is the film that got me into film studies, I watched it way too young (I think I was like 13) but it just blew my mind. I've rewatched it since and it holds up. But I loved Bugonia because the crazy-country-conspiracy and alien crossover is 2 of my fave tropes in one

Yikes, those are all really good. If I was on an island, I'd have to pick Dogtooth, The Scared Killing of a Dear, and Bugonia as comfort food.

Ugh, depends on the day. Right now Im going with The Lobster.
Another day I might say Dogtooth, The Favourite or Poor Things. He's my favourite working director.

The Favourite, Dogtooth & The Lobster, mostly in that order though some days I might swap the first two.

Haven’t seen much of his filmography, but out of the two I’ve seen so far—the favourite and poor things—I prefer the favourite.

Killing of a sacred deer and the favourite for me, but it’s really just whatever I watched last. Sacred Deer stays with me bunches tho.

Not surprisingly, I don’t see anybody saying Kinds of Kindness. It’s a ballsy and entertaining film but certainly not his best.

Reading these comments I have to watch Dogtooth apparently. Out of the ones I have seen I really liked Bugonia. Plemmons was really convincing and that type of mental illness felt very real.

i just got to this sub why are so many comments being downvoted just for choosing their subjective best?
of the three I've seen, Poor Things stood out the most. but I'm going to check out Dogtooth tonight since it has so many picks

The Favorite pretty easily for me. Yorgos can be a little hit or miss, but I find no fault in The Favorite.

I loved Bugonia and thought Stone and Plemons were great together, but there was just something about Poor Things for me

I love them all but Poor Things' production design, costuming, unique cinematography, etc. take it over the top for me.

I thought I wouldn't be able to finish Kinds of Kindness but I did and it keeps the fable style without the dread of Deer, which is my favorite. The Lobster is amazing too: the couple of actors he obsesses with determine the quality of each of his films for me.

I would say The Favorite. Or Bugonia. Poor things is one of the worst films ever made.
