okay i actually changed mine a couple days ago and swapped out everything everywhere all at once for moulin rouge cause i havent seen eeaao for a couple years and i love moulin rouge recently
it’s not really in order but bottoms first i loveeeeeee this film its so film, the cast is AMAZING and i’ve seen it quite a few times and it never gets old i swear i just love it so much
next is the holdovers which i just love everything about, firstly i love the setting in the 70s and the whole aesthetic of it with the snow and brownish colour palette ugh, the characters are all so endearing and it’s like an unexpected found family that just touches my heart
next is moulin rouge which i actually only watched for the first time last year but i’m OBSESSED it’s the craziest and most dramatic film with such loud and beautiful visuals that i love so much, it makes me laugh so much cause of the silliness and how fast paced it is with all the luhrmann style cuts
last is i saw the tv glow which is just so beautiful, have to say i was slightly confused the first time i watched it but after watching some youtube analysis videos i appreciated the film so much more, there’s so many parts of this film that i love like the soundtrack and overall message so ofc in the top 4
don’t judge that most of them are from the last few years lol what can i say butttt i do have a longer list of my favourite films thaf i might post about with explanations and it’s slightly more diverse with eras but yas

THESE ARE SOO GOOD!! I loved the holdovers and how they managed to get the digital footage to look like film down to the detail. I saw the tv glow definitely holds a special place in my heart. AND YESSS BOTTOMS AND MOULIN ROUGE!! They’re both so camp

I love my top 4 right now, Hitchcock and Jarmusch are my favourite directors as you can probably tell. I’ve shown so many people rope it’s probably starting to get annoying. It’s a tough call between Down by law and Strangers in paradise for me but there’s something about the chemistry between Tom Waits, Robert Benigni and John Laurie that exudes comedy noir.
Boys in the band and Only lovers left alive were both recommendations from my friends that I ended up adoring.

moonlight - all time favorite
ya no estoy aquĂ - too real
the name of the rose - sums up my vibe
les choristes - childhood favorite

1. The Three Caballeros (1945)
i’m a big animation nerd, and i truly believe that this is visually one of the most creative and beautiful animated films ever. i know there’s not really much of a “plot,” but i love how anarchical the flow of the movie is, disney has not and will never make anything like it again. the musical sequences/song numbers are so much fun and joaoaqin garay and josé oliveira give amazing performances as panchito and josé carioca
2. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
this was my #1 favorite for the longest time, and it’s now a *very* close second. this movie is just the epitome of expertly crafted film making on so many different levels, from the writing, directing, acting, practical effects, and animation. it’s a perfect homage and combination to two of my favorite film eras, old film noir and the golden age of animation. richard william’s animation direction is also mindblowingly brilliant; so many insane shots in this movie that i know were almost impossible to animate.
3. A Clockwork Orange
i am aware that this is a starkly different pick from my first two, lmao. but this is genuinely such a fascinating film that speaks to me on so many levels. malcom mcdowell truly gives a performance of a lifetime, and the intentional setting of 60’s/70’s brutalist futurism is genuinely so iconic. obviously kubrick’s direction and camera work is also genius, don’t have much to add there. i don’t necessarily agree with every point this film tried to get across, but the question if even the worst people in our society deserve the autonomy to choose between right and wrong is so fascinating.
4. Amadeus
perfect movie from beginning to end in my opinion. it is a master class in character writing, i can never get over how salieri and mozart are THE perfect character foils of eachother. the opera segments in this film are so beautifully shot, designed, and choreographe. this film is responsible for me genuinely falling in love with opera, where i now shoot/film my university’s operas as a consistent favorite gig of mine (and hope to professionally shoot operas as a part of my career in the future).

there’s something so funny about seeing a friend before they notice you cause it’s like a look into what they’re like alone
seeing how they walk when they’re by themselves or their expression when they’re just going about or looking around

got an exam tomorrow that i’m naturally feeling awful about but am i allowed to luck farm 🤲🤲🤲 i need all that i can get
it like an exam for my final grade for the subject for the year so pretty much it could matter but if i don’t badly i’ll say it won’t but the thing that like i’m upfront worried about is having to actually do it like if i sit down and can’t do any of the essay options (theres like 5 to choose from but that’s not as kind as it sounds cause they’re all pretty specific and difficult) that would be like the worst thing ever so yay
