Looking for some inspiration
I don’t remember when I saw it but “amanece, que no es poco”. I don’t know if you’ll find it dubbed or with subtitles.
Bottoms 2023
Godzilla Minus One
Damn, that was my answer too.
I’m going to be the lesser cinema snob here, but Hot Fuzz lives rent free in my mind.
Definitely the highlight of the corneto trilogy, and a great time. There’s no single minute without a good joke.
I didn’t love it the first time I saw it. And now it’s in my top 3 movies of all time. Every time I watch it, I like it more.
Is there any you have been toying with but not watched?
I have a system. I try to do month long marathons. Like this month it’s only Nicholas cage movies and I force myself to watch some non mainstream.
Then next month it may be foreign movies with a one word title. I only watch a few a month so it works out well and pushes me to explore
The IMAX release of Interstellar was incredible.
I watched that Saturday! I thought it was ok but I’m not a massive sci fi fan
I really enjoyed The Father, though it was extremely sad.
The Act of Killing. Mind. Blown.
The Act of Killing
That was one of the toughest movies to watch. It’s been more than a decade, and I still can’t bring myself to watch the follow-up.
Oh, i did not know he had create another one about the genocide. I don’t how I feel about that, haha. I need to be in a really good place mentally before I can watch it.
The documentary might be even more relevant than it has been for a long time, as we are seeing history repeat itself currently.
Everything everywhere all at once
I remain baffled that someone read the script and apparently said, a kung fu comedy sci fi thriller family drama with infinite timelines and jump cuts across dimensions occurring up to multiple times per second? Yeah, sounds good, this will definitely work, let’s fund this.
I don’t know how the Daniels did it, but whew, I’m glad they did.
I haven’t seen that movie since it came out and i’m not sure if i want to rewatch it, because sometimes they age weird.
Everything Everywhere All at Once - it’s hard to describe without spoilers, so if you haven’t seen just go watch it
Might give it another go, but the first 30 minutes or so did not interest me at all tbh. Like I get what it is parodying, and I appreciate it in a creative sense, but it’s just a bit much for my taste.
Came to say the same thing, it’s probably one of the best movies from recent times. Great writing, original story, great acting, comedy, Kung Fu, sci-fi, it’s got it all.
And incredible direction. It’s the first time in decades, since perhaps The Matrix, that I saw this many new direction ideas in a single flick.
Rewatched it recently & cried through the entire last third. So good
I loved Arrival picked it at random one day. Blew my mind really unique film, incredible
Same! Just watched it maybe 4 weeks back and then Project Hail Mary. Great movies in their own way.
I loved how phm in some ways referenced the linguistics themes arrival had, but kept it brief to not to be a direct rip off.
The short story is heartbreaking, Ted Chiang
Not to be confused with The Arrival (1996), which is a blast of an enjoyable movie, though it’s not on the same level as Arrival. The effects don’t hold up well, sadly, but I love it all the same.
I don’t think I saw anyone mention it: Sorry to Bother You. Great movie about class struggle and fighting the corpo bullshit.
Great movie. Went in blind and enjoyed it.
Another good movie kinda like Sorry to Bother You was The American Society of Magical Negroes. It’s a comedy about the title troupe.

Bonkers movie I love it.
I recently watched It Happened One Night for the first time. It is a great movie, even at 92 years old.
STALKER 1979 based on the sifi novel Roadside Picnic, and was the inspiration for the video game series of the same name. It reminded me of Annihiliation 2018 but less horror/action, and more lamentations on humanity.
To be honest anything by Tarkovsky is a must-watch.
This movie was crazy slow but worked surprisingly well. Especially compared with the book. The book was great but the movie manged to take it all to another level.
I watched Andrei Rublev recently (also Tarkovsky), it was pretty good. Visually stunning of course.
If I start movies like this past like 4pm, I’m going to fall asleep 100%>
