I got to see a 70mm print of "Vertigo" today, which was amazing.
I love that the film opens with the Paramount logo then the massive VISTA-VISION text splayed across the screen, bragging of monumental sights to come.
Then the film cuts to a tight close-up shot of a person's lips. Lol

I saw "Hamnet" today and it's another masterpiece by director Chloe Zhao.
The film devastated me in the best ways.
Unlike "Shakespeare in Love", which never felt genuine to me, "Hamnet" struck this Shakespeare nerd's heart deeply and made me appreciate the Bard even more.

“Desperately Seeking Susan” and Hunter S. Thompson. Now THAT’S an issue! :-)

I saw the film “Meta Take One” at a film festival today and it was an interesting watch.
It starts off feeling like “Clerks” but soon becomes a dark comedy/thriller more like “Dog Day Afternoon”.
I love small indie films like these and will ALWAYS choose them over big Hollywood productions.

"100 Nights of Hero" has a massive change in tone throughout but I enjoyed it.
It starts as a farce of the upper class that's like a mix of Monty Python and Wes Anderson. By the end, it becomes a somber story of a misogynistic society that's as chilling as anything in "The Handmaid's Tale".

I've rarely seen a protagonist like the main character of 1981's "Coup De Torchon".
Police Chief Lucien Cordier is simultaneously a sympathetic and repulsive man, a guy who's always bullied but finds revenge in the most cowardly ways.
Isabelle Huppert, as always, is spectacular in it.

The two theaters close to me are showing the 4 hour+ version of "Kill Bill" this weekend but they're not showing "Hamnet". What the hell????
I'm going to have to drive to a theater 60 miles away to see "Hamnet". That's crazy. I thought the film was getting a huge release nationwide?

The Criterion Channel’s showing Dorothy Arzner’s 1940 film “Dance, Girl, Dance” (with Lucille Ball and Maureen O’Hara) and it’s wonderful.
Lucy’s b*tchy character is a perfect counterpoint to Maureen O’Hara’s sweet ingenue.
Lucy really could do anything, couldn’t she? ❤️

Jean Rollin's "The Living Dead Girl" (currently showing on the Criterion Channel) isn't my favorite film of his (that would be "The Shiver of the Vampires").
It's a touching story of an undead girl who wants to be dead again. Unfortunately, her close friend won't let her go.

"They Call Her Death" (currently showing on AMC+ and Shudder) was made in 2024 but looks like it was made in the 70's.
Shot in 16mm, with gore that would make Lucio Fulci proud, it's a grindhouse combination of Spaghetti Westerns, supernatural horror and "Death Wish"-style revenge thriller.

The new film “Rental Family” delivers the same awe and wonder for Japan and its culture as “Lost in Translation”.
It’s a heart-warming film with a unique concept that’s taken in some very lovely directions.

I have to treat these as a snapshot of my mindset this minute, or I go nuts. That said:
My Twentieth Century
Desperately Seeking Susan
Hannah and Her Sisters
Casualties of War

(given 10, I'd add Moonstruck, The Stunt Man, A Room With a View, Stranger Than Paradise, Fanny & Alexander, and Witness)
Name your top 4 80s films.

I watched Ken Russell's film "Altered States" last night (the Criterion 4K UHD is gorgeous!) and I swear some scenes in the film are similar to the metaphysical scenes in the insane last few minutes of Disney's "The Black Hole" film (which came out a year earlier).

I went into "Trifole" (which opened nationwide this weekend) thinking it was going to be an uplifting story of a woman discovering herself in the Italian countryside.
Well, it got much darker than that, but I still liked it despite the whiplash-inducing turn the film took in the second half.
