I’ll go first. For me, it’s Across The Spider-Verse. The excellent score and soundtrack is just a bonus.

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I just shared it with my kids. But we’re godly seeing across the spiderverse tonight, so that might change.

      This is my all-time favorite. One of my favorite memories of this movie was — when I showed it to a way less idealistic friend of mine, he felt so sad when the last of the memories is being removed. I did not expect him to do that let alone like the movie.

      We had our 19 year old nephew watch that this last weekend, a beautiful masterpiece still.

    Dune. While there’s no way to perfectly capture the magic of the intricate machinations of (Frank) Herbert’s universe, the movie gets about as close as anyone could, I think. The only thing in its league is Jackson’s LOTR trilogy, and I think Dune is at least as good if not slightly better. Can’t wait for the second (and hopefully third!) one!

      I loved the movie, but I feel like they didn’t include enough Dr. Yueh. I also feel like they could have ended the movie a few scenes earlier.

    This tread has been a moment of personal discovery. In trying to imagine what movie I’ve seen this month I realized I haven’t seen a movie yet this year - unless you count standup specials which live in the movie section of Plex. I’m like 80% sure the last movie I watched was the Bob’s Burgers Movie. What happened to me?!

    Definitely Spiderverse. It was almost too fast moving at times, but fantastic story telling and, of course, art design.

    New movie: Across the Spiderverse without a doubt. Gave it a 9/10. I think i like the first more but it’s a beautiful movie.

    Old and overall: i rewatched Toy Story 2. It’s a 10/10 from me.

    Usually not my cup of tea, I watched an Indian movie, two of them actually: Bahubali and Bahubali 2. Yes, it’s cliché and cheesy but all in a very fun and spectacular way.

    It’s basically life-action anime but with more musical and dancing bits.

    It’s not a new one, but I rewatched the 1998 film Dark City (IMDB/RT) 2 weeks ago and totally forgot how atmospheric it was. Whilst it takes it self seriously there’s some pretty bizarre moments, I totally cracked up at a scene where one of the ‘strangers’ exclaims “HE CAN TUNE!” which is followed by a shot of a child stranger smiling and chattering their teeth (YouTube clip)

    Emily the criminal was pretty decent. Good acting, the story is okay, but nothing special. Enjoyable. Then I watched Oh Lucy! With Josh Hartnet. That was a downer of a movie somehow. It’s about a japanese lady who is kinda unsatisfied with her life, tries to change things up, opens up a bit, but it’s not as successful as one expects. Not bad, rather weird movie!

    ‘The Wandering Moon’ directed by Lee Sang-il and based on the novel by Yuu Nagira. The story contains some controversial themes but it’s beautifully shot and put together with a lot of care and love. At two and a half hours it’s a really nice length to just sit back and allow yourself to get fully immersed in the visual experience. It has that sort of slow, melancholic beauty that appears in a lot of modern Japanese art. If you’ve ever read a Murakami novel you’ll know what I mean.

    Happy Gilmore. I’ve seen it before, but not for a long time. Don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it.
