glad you’re all here to remember the good films for me
they remember it, so you don’t have to
okay everyone said movies i like so i dont have to actually remember what came out in the last ten years
did anyone do it from memory or were you all checking letterboxed or whatever
I opened up the folder I keep movies in on my hard drive, took a long at the ones I’d kept, then cross referenced my Netflix watch history and some film festival ticket confirmation emails
i just looked at my letterboxd and hit the button that said “2010s” on it
I’m deeply anormal because I’m at the old age of over 30 and still think this has been the best decade for both movies and videogames
My fav movies would be:
Arrival
Interstellar
Paterson
Fury Road
Parasite
Okja
A ghost story
Mother!
Good time
Neon demon
Heartbeats (Dolan)
Have you read any of Zahler’s novels? I like his movies but I think his style works even better in book form. My favorite is Wraiths of the Broken Land.
You might know this already, but in Dragged Across Concrete when the characters comment on a song playing in a restaurant the singer is Zahler. (Also, I find that song’s lyrics amusing.)
The one with me in it
get out
the shape of water
sorry
I have kept paper lists of the games and movies ive experienced since about 2012.
mad max: fury road
shoplifters
the act of killing
shin godzilla
john wick
edge of tomorrow
dragon ball super: broly
under the skin
a touch of sin
the wind rises
Yeah I forgot, I adored the shape of water too. Lotta great stuff going on in that one.
oh fuck I forgot about mad max. that one too. there’s probably a lot of movies I saw, I just don’t really attach a year to them in my mind
unrelated to the rest of the thread, but i have started doing this with tokusatsu and also wrestling matches i see live and real arcade games i get to play
the comedy
good time
the woman who left
the florida project
hypernormalisation
a star is born
the human surge
shy boys irl
who is arthur chu
spring breakers
what i havent seen yet but i feel like would be my favs:
wobble palace
heaven knows what
project x
joker
even I didn’t expect this thread to make my tastes look quite so bourgeois by comparison
Greatly enjoyed this one
Anyone who hasn’t seen it, just watch it. avoid trailers/synopsis. Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon.
movies are the only way I can still keep track of time
Def a mistake that Get Out and The Wind Rises aren’t in my list.
A touch of sin
The assassin
Moonlight
I keep trying to make this list longer but honestly nothing comes close
