by personal opinion/enjoyment be nice to me
1. titane - this is the greatest movie ever made (many have said). nothing else i can say about it that i have not said 100 times on this app already, but i also feel like i could never truly put into words how much i adore titane, my heart feels like it's bursting every time i watch it. listened to light house by future islands for like 3 days straight afterwards
2. baby invasion (pure) - probably criminal to rank this above anything else but i honestly really enjoyed it. harmony korine either has a lot to say about the current shit garbage state of the internet or is just going through a midlife crisis but this movie made me feel really gross about our world so im going to pretend its the first one. also amazing soundtrack. nobody boil me into a stew for ranking this above uncle boonmee
3. uncle boonmee who can recall his past lives - brilliant and i can see why this is so beloved but it did not resonate with me on an emotional level, i just think there was too much distance between the different vignettes for me personally. i do adore the idea, each scene was well constructed and i think bits of it will definitely stay with me (i loved the ending scene) but as a complete piece of work it just wasn't for me
4. another day in paradise - i did not care. sorryi just did not care

Jesus and the Black Messiah- 2021
absolutely incredible film based on the real life story about how civil rights leader Fred Hampton was killed by the feds due to a criminal who was pushed to become a informant in the late 60's. it's dark but such an important watch.
My Policeman- 2022
a heart wrenching story of a policeman in the 40's who falls in love with a worker at an art museum while being in a relationship with a woman. i really liked this film. i mean we have harry styles playing a bottom in an incredibly tragic love story (although his acting isn't always the best, the chemistry between him and the other actor is undeniable).
We Live in Time- 2024
a non-linear telling of the story of another tragic love story of a super talented up and coming chef and a guy who was recently divorced. cried at the end of this one. i am a sucker for watching movies that hurt my soul at the deepest level, what can i say. i also love florence pugh and andrew garfield.
The Seven Year Itch- 1955
just.. eh. i watched this because of Marilyn and had no prior knowledge of what it was about. turned out to be about a man finding any excuse in the book to judge others for cheating on their wives while they're gone for the summer, and then immediately doing the same thing. it is.. a product of its time to say the least lol. there were some really funny scenes that use physical comedy (ex: main character steps on his son's roller-skate and does the most diabolically hard fall i have ever seen in a movie) that had me genuinely laughing out loud so i will give it points for that.

nowhere - gregg araki. maybe the greatest film to have ever been conceived. ive talked about him on here before but araki is a true auteur and really had his finger on the pulse with this one (and the rest of his teen apocalypse trilogy) in a way ive not seen anyone replicate. came out in ’97 and still informs so much of whats being created and released today. this was on sam levinsons moodboard in the conception stage of the shit show that was euphoria. if uve been sleeping on him nows the time to wake up - he just casted charli xcx in his next feature.
my own private idaho - gus van sant. more new queer cinema. totally devastating, the first time i watched this i stayed up the entire night afterwards. i couldnt sleep a wink. was just totally haunted. there will never be another soul like river phoenix </3
le diable probablement - robert bresson. peak french existentialism. the first entry in my own personal just like me fr canon. wont say too much but watch it watch it watch it if you u havent already. came out in ‘77 and hasnt aged at all (i mean it!).
chungking express - wong kar wai. a moment of self recognition thru the other. the frequency with which faye wongs character plays california dreaming mirrors in its entirety my own extremely irritating music habits.

1) Bound (1996) This movie only works because we (the audience) believe that Corky and Violet want to fuck and that Caesar might actually kill someone. I think it’s a masterpiece and it’s kind of crazy to me that it’s a debut feature. If you’re a lesbian who hasn’t seen this, you should drop whatever you’re doing right now and watch it. 10/10 perfect movie.
2) Spider (2002) Ok nothing nice happens to anyone for the entire duration of this movie. I have mixed feelings about Cronenberg’s post 9/11 catalogue (least what I have seen of it) but I quite liked the fairly literary style of this movie and his handling of unreliable narration however this might be the bleakest movie I have seen in years.
3) Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) I fear this didn’t make much of an impression on me aside from being a fun comedy of errors. I think Snatch might be a slightly better movie.
4) Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) Dead last I fear and it’s not even close. Having sat with it, I fear that the documentary itself is quite stiff and is probably 30 minutes longer than it needed to be. I think I would have gotten much more out of a simple recording of the performance (the idea for which is brilliant).
