I was FLOORED by Mascha Schilinski's film Sound of Falling! For me one of the VERY BEST of 2025!

Overall I found it just so-so. I'm ALWAYS impressed by Laura Dern. Both of Cooper's earlier films are well worth a look IMO.

I love the scene in Hitchcock's The Birds where Tippi Hedren serves tea to bedridden (& mentally shaken) Jessica Tandy despite the latter's previous (low-key) antagonism toward her.

Typically my list is over 20 films -- I really don't see this as "out of control" - just recognizing merit & pleasure wherever I found it! I thought 2025 had a lot of good films.

I remember first time we see her face in King Kong. Filmmaker Robert Armstrong spots her while she's trying to steal an apple from a street vendor. He's stunned by her face (us too! 😀)
