Millennium Actress, the late Satoshi Kon's masterpiece in how it recognizes the power that cinema has in tandem with people's memories and creates an incredibly moving work that makes you feel like you lived a whole life by the time the end credits roll
What is the best movie not from this year that you’ve seen this year? Bonus points if you say why

NGL, I love having the confidence these days when I can wear a newish pair of 4-inch heels I haven't worn a lot yet and just absolutely slay in them while out in public ✨️

Mine would probably have been Toy Story, The Wizard of Oz, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

The Melvin & the Squirrels bit from Homer's Barbershop Quartet and I genuinely cannot explain why outside of "I think this is funny as a side tangent gag"
what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

Wild times when you realize that one of the most iconic 2000s Nick shows just casually has a whole-ass scene very few have seen in over twenty years
Not every day you find an entire scene from Drake & Josh that was cut in reruns. Behold -- for the first time since 2004... Josh's school presentation on Persia!

I'm a zillennial who's never seen National Treasure despite the fact I have the DVD in my collection and could have easily had the excuse to watch it by now
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

If this means today's youth gets to experience the Kwik-E-Mart 7-11 overlays, I'm okay with this

On the one hand, a generation defining Spielberg classic. On the other hand, a fascinating misfire starring one of cinema's most legendary duos

Criminally overlooked 90s movie that's a personal favorite gem of mine in a year that has some all timers of the decade

I'll admit to being guilty of this in the past but at the same time, Patrick Stewart didn't go all hype mode for Salt N Pepa on SNL only for that to be ignored by 2000s born Zoomers
If your discussion of 90s music ignores hip hop you’re just lying to be clear. It was massive. Salt n Pepa and En Vogue blew Nirvana out on the charts. And should’ve honestly.
I feel people forget glam metal was still very much in the charts up to around 93. Hip hop was arguably bigger than grunge in that era as well.

Man, imagining telling high school me that not only would the director behind Guardians jump ship over to DC, they'd be actively excited for future movies involving the Superman crew of characters

I have no idea why but this guy always feels like an encapsulation of my early childhood years in the 2000s despite being around before and after that time frame
Crazy Craving
Post Honey-Comb
1995-2005
Voiced by Frank Simms, the "Craver" was first seen as a puppet who spawned from kids' cravings for the cereal, later a fully CG character kids would grotesquely transform into whenever their cravings kicked in, chanting, "me want Honeycomb!" and running amok.

As someone who loves this movie but was also too young to remember the overall culture of 2000 that spawned its "we don't know who to aim this at" marketing, this is a solid read all around
