Rec'd on 🎞️ What is the greatest movie of all time??? in your opinion

It‘s a movie for children about the encroachment of techno-Capital on joyful human experiences … about the indispensability of art and love. More colourful than an aposematic bug and likewise scares off many viewers because it’s so over the top. So brilliantly incoherent that it didn’t even make its budget back at the box office. It’s not for serious people but it’s also absolutely one for the heads. I am watching it right this second and U should too.

Speed Racer

my favorite movie of all time. used to watch it all the time as a kid and then rediscovered it as an adult and found that it completely holds up for me. the action is so fluid and intense and the cgi/animation is so overdone (almost gaudy) that it becomes a cohesive aesthetic, there’s just no other movie that looks or feels like it to me. the wachowski sisters cooked

EVERYBODY RIDES THE CAROUSEL

This 1970-something animated movie is available on Youtube in full as well as some archival sites. I watched it for the first time with a date, and as one Letterboxd user states, it was “more intimate than anal”. I don’t even care to spoil or preface it for you, I’ll just say it’s got some spectacular watercolor art animations and great tattoo ideas.
