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.

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

I really enjoyed it but didn’t know it was a part one and that REALLY pulled the rug out from under me. I could have easily watched another 2 hours right away but having it essentially stop halfway through makes me think poorly of it in retrospect.
Shame too because everything else about it was great. Had I known I could have prepped and been alright but as it stands I can’t think about it except negatively.

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?!

Asteroid City was surprisingly good. Eccentric, but in the best way.

Very Wes Anderson-y in a good way.

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.

Across the Spider-Verse of course (respect the hyphen), however I also just watched Submarine (written and directed by Richard Ayoade) and thought that was really good.
I’ll check out Submarine. Apologies for the hyphen.

Lol don’t worry, the hyphen is meant to be there! It’s Spider-Man, not Spiderman!!!

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.

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!

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)

‘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.

Upgrade. I freaking love that movie even for how dark it is.

Do the final two episodes of Star Trek: TNG count? If so, that.
For a series with its ups and downs, they really nailed everything that’s great about Star Trek in the final two episodes with none of the lows. Relevant social commentary, intelligent dialog, an intriguing science fictional mystery, some action, and a superbly dramatic Picard! Not just Picard either. Almost everyone in the cast gets a chance to shine across the three time periods. Brent Spiner especially gets a nod for the subtle changes to old Data’s character.

I really enjoyed Elemental! My boyfriend slept through most of it though haha. It seems to be one of those polarizing movies.
The animation of Fire and Water was so beautiful and the story did resonate with me as a kinda/sorta immigrant.
