This is very much subject to change in the near future (I made a promise to myself to watch more than 150 films this year but I'm already on track for 365), but this is just where I'm at right now. I've always loved Spike, Moonlight resonated with me as a queer person, and Bran Nue Dae is my out of left field pick that I adore from high school film class.
Incredible film about an incredibly important and influential figure. Currently my favorite Spike Lee film. Lots of great performances, editing, and storytelling in this film. Heavily recommend checking this film out.
With the trailer of the new Spike Lee joint being released, it reminds me THAT MALCOLM X is the greatest biopic of all time!!!!! Denzel is playing three different iterations of man, and it never misses a beat. Everything is seamless, everything flows with such a fury and purity. Spike photographs Blackness so well, the skin glistens from the screen, and I also think it is not a politic movie, but rather a movie about American man and a movie about what it means to live a life in this truly inhumane country!!! It's weirdly so hilarious too, Malcolm is allowed to just be a human going through different moods
I took this pic of my friend while we were out and about in the city. I can't say I hung out with friends much when I was still in high school so I really love that I've built myself up more as a sociable person :)
Kneecap was by far my favourite. Just an absolutely blistering first feature that is extremely fun starring the Irish language hip-hop group of the same name. Knew nothing about them going in, but it was electric watching it in the cinema even without much of an audience. The Irish language is so cool. In terms of "best"? I absolutely adore The Substance.
