fav movies

a lot of these are not that critically acclaimed but they are still really fun watches! 1. SAVING FACE (2008): it is a really touching film which is set in flushing ny, it is centred around a young Chinese woman and her exploration of her sexuality. surprisingly a very easy watch but also very heartfelt. 2. FRANCES HA (2013): a bit basic but still amazing, the main character which is played by Greta Gerwig navigates feeling lost in her 20s. me and my best friend quote this movie all the time. 3. COOL RUNNINGS (1993): i grew up with this movie always in the background, it is such a classic. very funny premise: based around a jamaican bobsledding team. very lovable characters, it is a comfort watch 100%. 4. SAVE THE LAST DANCE (2001): it is def a guilty pleasure watch, it's not critically acclaimed but when has that ever stopped me. great soundtrack, vibes overall are so comforting. the storyline is very predictable but like idc. 5. 50/50 (2011): as much as i don't like joseph gordon levit, this movie is so funny and heartfelt. 6. SHE'S THE MAN (2006): when i was 14 i had to run a play in my class and we got assigned shakespeare's twelvth night, and my teacher said to watch this movie. it is such a funny movie, again quite a guilty pleasure watch but so good. 7. INTO THE WILD (2008): this rec is quite film bro but the true story it is based on was a hyperfixation of mine for years. it is a dramatic retelling of the life of chris mc candless (made my dad cry which is not an easy feat) 8. UNE FILLE FACILE (2019): set in cannes and follows two cousins. speaks a lot to female relationships and may be my fav on the list. i won't spoil anything here, i just love it and you should watch it (it is also very beautiful) 9. THE HAND OF GOD (2021): set in 1980s napoli, follows a boy and his love for football as well as his complicated family life. such a gorgeous film

Queue, an app for forgetful cinephiles

Sorry to use a pretentious word like cinephile, but it had to be done. This is for the friend groups who take forever to decide what to watch on movie night. Also, this app is very much for the chronically indecisive peeps who have a backlogged watchlist on Letterbox — I see you, I am you. I haven’t heard anyone talk about this free app, but it is essentially a site where you can keep track of movies/shows you’ve been meaning or wanting to watch. A Few Features I Like: - It can be set up to notify you when something on your list becomes available on any streaming platform you’re subscribed to - you can sort your list by exactly what you’re in the mood for (genre, length of film, decade of release) - easy importation of watch lists from other sites or sources (Letterboxd) - My FAVORITE part by far is the spinny wheel that helps you choose something to watch (either from your list, preferences, or what’s currently popular)

and then right back to being a bitch again. Because sometimes the first instinct is the best instinct.
