Rec'd on 🙅‍♀️ 6/25: WHAT’S A MOVIE YOU REALLY ENJOYED BUT REFUSE TO REWATCH?

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007)

I watched this for the first time with my dad when it came out in 2007. I was 7 years old and had a horrible panic attack during the movie (my dad was nuts for thinking i could watch this!) I have since rewatched and while I absolutely loved it (ranked #38 of my top 100 movies), it was honestly retraumatizing to see and just as anxiety inducing as it was when i was a child! i won’t be rewatching for a long time but boy do i still ponder this movie!!!

how did you go about assembling your top 100? do you keep a running list and rank as you go? or do you do it retrospectively? also classic dad move lmao

@CHAMPAGNEFLUKE it took me weeks to create/finish and the order fluctuates all the time… I started by just adding movies I love to a ranked letterboxd list. I already had a pretty solid understanding of my top 10. everything from there just became a game of “do i like this movie more than this one?” if the answer was yes i moved it up on the list and asked the same question for the next movie. i did that over and over until i finally had my ranked top 100 movies. i still regularly promote/demote movies but its been nice having it all laid out for my to review at any time : )

Hereditary

You probably have seen this movie by now because obviously, it is very popular. I was looking for something to watch and that popped up, and I briefly considered watching it but only for a moment. I saw this movie with my husband in the theaters. I was expecting to be scared but instead, I was overwhelmed with the pain, grief, and trauma for the almost entire movie. The scene where the mom is yelling at Peter absolutely gutted me. I cried basically the whole time, even into the credits. I kind of missed all of the scary stuff because I was just weeping (lol). I have watched it once since then, and it still was very disturbing to me, but I was able to pick up on the horror of it as well. It is amazing film, and I will probably never watch it again.

just watched disaster movie again

My dad brought me to see this movie on release, I was 10. Now 17 years later on second watch this movie is a perfect potrayal of post irony and post-postmodernism. Similar to how Shakespeare was seen as low-brow, but becomes genre defining-that’s this film.
