Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
(this has been my favorite movie since I first watched it at 14 and I really doubt it will ever change. I just popped in the dvd to watch the director/writer commentary and other special features yesterday.)
Zola.
(I’ve seen Janicza Bravo do Q&As about Zola live twice which is probably two more times that the average person.)
Springbreakers.
Fallen Angels.
Ingrid Goes West.
The Royal Tenenbaums.
68 Kill.
Poor Things.
(I did not see enough movies last year, but I saw this one which is great because it was made for me specifically)
Are you sensing a theme in these films….

not listed in an official ranking bc that is like choosing a favorite child
1. Stuck in Love (melancholy and has an absolutely stacked cast)
2. The Royal Tenenbaums (actually same note as above lol and no one is cooler than Margot Tenenbaum)
3. The Bling Ring (soundtrack is insane and I love movies about rich kids getting into trouble)
4. The Women (I LOVE this movie and find it so comforting)
5. Jennifer’s Body (this movie covers camp, horror and teenage angst in the most amazing way and has the best soundtrack ever)

Especially a smaller conference with your professional and academic peers where everyone else is as passionate about your niche nerdy topic as you are. People will be super cool and supportive and excited to hear what you’ve been up to. And in the best of cases you’ll get to hear good feedback from well established and respected scientists!
