Thread where you can discuss the movies that you watched during the month and would recommend. All movies are acceptable not only the ones released during the month.
I’ve watched Oppenheimer, Baby Driver, and The Marvels enjoyed all of them.
Oppenheimer is surprisingly gripping given the subject matter, and kept my attention very well.
I also realized while watching it why so many actors wanted to be in it. Not just to work with Nolan but to be able to play a character over a wider period of history. That’s a rare feat.
Baby Driver is just a fun ride beginning to end, as we tend to expect from Edgar Wright. Unfortunately it also has Kevin Spacey in it. Ah well.
The Marvels was also a ton of fun. Some of the more emotional elements felt a bit forced but that’s the point, Carol is still emotionally stunted by what she has been put through.
It was a lot stronger to me than Quantumania was, and I think a lot of why both movies suffer is - aside from superhero fatigue - the very existence of Disney+. I’m not gonna see something in a theater that will be in my living room a few months later on a service I’m already paying for.
“Anatomy of a fall” for me. I watched it during this month and for me the best film of the previous year. Amazing. I would recommend to watch it without reading the summary.
You should watch The Pirate Movie (1982) on February 29.
I was pretty sick last week and I binged a lot of lesser known movies. The one that stuck with me was Nowhere. It won’t revolutionize cinema but it’s so edge of your couch tense, I actually stopped coughing for 90 minutes.
i was in cinema yesterday to watch “All of us strangers” an immensely heartbreaking, but somehow beautiful movie. beautiful in a way a very pretty cemetery is beautiful. all of the cinema cried.
