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.

Went thru an Ang Lee kick a few years back and found his early movies about taiwanese-American immigrant/blended families reconciling their 2 cultures soooo so heartwarming. Brokeback and The Ice Storm (!!!) two of the most memorable and stylistically sophisticated movies I’ve ever seen. Dude has major heart and a very sweet sense of humor and always picks the sexiest people for main roles.
Antonioni…where do I start.. watch anything that has Monica vitti in it and Blow Up. if you’re not trying to pick apart how his surrealism maps onto Italian history and politics then just come for the sexy people , eerie music, and ridiculous cinematography

Its a toss up between Paterson and Only Lovers Left alive for favourite of his films. They both display romantic love in such a rare and moving way.
Most of my fav movies are by directors who haven’t really made enough films yet to be solid favourites (mostly because they aren’t white men who’ve been given all the opportunities), but directors who are getting there for me are Boots Riley, Emerald Fennel, Cathy Yan.

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 :)

As the title suggests, Kanye was always one of my problematic faves but I think he's kinda became annoyingly problematic and comically evil to the point that he's lost me. I still listen to his old stuff though. I often don't realise how much I listen to it still until I see my last.fm stats.
It's kind of undeniable that he's been one of the most influential people in hip-hop and wider pop culture for decades now, so it hurts more that he's gone so far down the deep end.
One of these days I'll make my idea for a Kanye Broadway musical a reality. Trust me!
