I LOVE THIS FILM!!! One of the most tactile movies I've ever seen, it captures the nuances of living in a city so specifically that every corner of the film feels so lived in and real. I've never lived in nyc (but I do live in another major city), yet I can still feel how thoroughly this film captures the unique aspects of NYC that set it apart, while still conveying the chaotic nature shared by most cities. It understands the transitory moments in life that we rarely look back on: seeing buskers perform in cramped spaces, small talk with street vendors, people-watching, getting into awkward conversations with grandparents. It's a movie about situationships, pickles, annoying writers, and love. Amy Irving is absolutely radiant, and I have the biggest crush on her now.

A romance film about class, first impressions, and pickles.
This movie defies every convention of the genre. It's cozy and earnest and deeply poetic.

Not incredibly old and I hate who directed this film but what can I say… I love a 70s does film noir with my whole heart. I‘ve seen this movie at least 25 times and it truly never gets old. The soundtrack, Faye Dunaway being a babe, old and beautiful Los Angeles… the list goes on.

older films rock, and i HIGH recommend Shadow of a Doubt, Alfred Hitchcock’s self proclaimed best work. A movie about the death of the american small town, familial abuse, divorce, and weird incestuous tensions. it’s one of the more tense films i’ve seen without really showing too much actual voilence. It’s all about power, control, and how people can be manipulated. Also I am a huge fan of Park Chan-Wook’s Stoker, and had no idea that was loosely based on this film. That movie rips too go watch it after they make a fantastic double feature.

the amc a-list is well-known gem, but it is really one of the best deals available, especially after the recent change they made to it. four movies a week! what! However I get sometimes you just have to go to the cinema on a budget, tickets can be expensive. STILL, support your local independent theater if you can!! at least around me there are multiple rep theaters (shoutout the coolidge theater in Boston and the Brattle in Cambridge) that constantly show old films and introduce classics to a new audience. I will die for these theaters, and I try to find a balance between using my a-list for new movies and seeing rep screenings at the indies! you can do both! I LOVE MOVIES!!!!

get drunk, embarrass yourself, it’s worth it, it will strengthen your bonds (as long as it’s not your boss)
