Personally The Menu is the best one out of the 4 suggestions and ik my suggestions aren't as niche but they're still forgotten or more untalked about than they should

i understand that this is so stupidly unsubtle, with pretty atrocious writing, directing and editing, but god DAMN the score is awesome

#

i also enjoy the shit out of this movie if i’m in the right mood

Which one is your favorite out of the Aardman universe?

I gotta say I grew up with A Grand Day Out so that one is my favorite

You know I liked bits of it but overall I enjoyed the original shorts more because I grew up with them
Vengeance most Fowl is the best of the feature-lengths thus far imo as it’s obv a direct sequel to one of the shorts

The Brutalist is a master class of cinematography and is just a truly epic film. It still doesn’t get a lot of attention, even after it won a few Oscar’s.

#

I love it

It's an Indian horror movie which talks about A "God" who came to earth but he was so greedy etc that the other God revolted against him but the mother of Gods she was very merciful that she convinced other Gods not to kill "Hastar" but she told Hastar to be Forgotten by the people and never let anyone worship him

Now in the British India people started worshiping Hastar for Greed for money and yeh the movie "Tumbbad" was amazing which talks about Greed and money and yeh

Hey fellas. Watched studio ghibli’s ‘Only Yesterday’ today. I loved it than other ones they did. Enjoyed it so much. It’s got this bitter-sweet nostalgia.

Dragon hunters (2008) really underrated animated film imo

Burning (2018) for me is among the top South Korean classics like Memories of Murder, I saw the Devil, Parasite, The chaser or Old boy(I personally don’t like this one)

Depending on the day, I might even argue that it’s the best South korean movie I’ve watched till date.

The Fall (2006)

In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastic story about 5 mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances.

#

This movie is way too overlooked, one of the best movies ever made imo

The Lookout (2007.) Not the greatest movie, but I feel it’s overlooked or not a lot of people have seen it.

Master and Commander (2003), a great movie, totally up there with all the great movies of that time, last samurai, kingdom of heavens, gladiator etc.

I like the premise and some of the character/plot points they were going for, but the execution was just...eh. For a story about "videogames save the world," there have been several movies and books that were more impactful and did more with this idea

Kingdom of Heaven doesn’t get quite the love it deserves.

And 101 Dalmatians is surprisingly good for a Disney live action adaptation. Much better than the 2021 Cruella, and Glenn Close has one of the best Disney villain performances I’ve seen.

#

She’s Cruella de Vil. Not Emma, great as she is as an actress.

#

Which one
Be honest
Is closer to who you envision a live action Cruella de Vil to be?

#

I asked myself that...

I might be a bit biased because I really enjoy Darren Aronofsky films (with a few exceptions), but I thoroughly enjoyed The Fountain and it's one of my favorite films. It didn't get a lot of love from critics when it released, but it managed to develop a cult following. I feel like the loss of momentum at the release of the film resulted in many people still not having heard about this film. However, it's still a divisive film. I showed it to a woman I had a thing with and she called it one of the worst films she's ever seen lmao.

The soundtrack is well done (Clint Mansell killed it). The use of lighting in the film is just so unique, particularly with decisions like the hospital and surgical center being dimly lit almost entirely with accent lighting instead of the typical bright sterile hospital lighting. The story being told through three different stories set hundreds of years apart. How the film leaves much to the audiences interpretation. The sheer artistry of some of the shots in the future time line. The way scene transitions are so beautifully cut and the pacing of the story switching between the different narratives. The very human story about a man's struggle to deal with death at the core of the story. The major role that the score plays in tieing it all together, even taking center stage at some points with the music coming to a massive crescendo. The decision to avoid as much cgi as possible for the grand visual moments and use microphotography to capture chemical reactions in petri dishes. And the absolute scale of what they tried to achieve narratively, visually and musically really makes the film a must watch for anyone interested in the technical side of film making.

It feels like such a unique film that Aronofsky put a lot of care into and it has a great cast with Hugh Jackman, and Rachel Weiss among others. Hugh Jackman in specific gives such a magnificent performance in this.
