apparently “really gotta sit down and think about this” means “name the first 10 movies you can think of in 8 minutes?”

Redid my +1s to overlap with others’ lists. Everyone here has some excellent taste

When I heard none of my weekly movie night (RIP) pals had seen Cube before, I picked that and Event Horizon as a double feature. However, I don’t think either went over well surprisingly. Glad to see both are getting some love here.

For our movie night I paired Cube with Jim Hensen’s The Cube for Cube². Both films kinda maddening in their own way.

A non movie night friend said I dropped the ball, and I should have done exactly what you did! I wasn’t aware of the Jim Henson movie until they mentioned it! I still need to see it.

I read all of that as Cuba and even went googling for Jim Henson’s Cuba.

this is obviously not why this movie ended up on my list based on my 10-year-old self’s obsession with dinosaurs, but i am really looking forward to arguing for this movie on the basis of it being spielberg’s most powerful, pure expression of self because of the way it distills his obsession with “family” into basically just a movie about the necessity and inevitability of procreation

first i told myself i wasn’t gonna look at the other lists first but then i caught myself just leaving off what i thought was the sb low-hanging fruit of like fwwm and miami vice and fury road and then i was like ok i’ll just read through the lists once

also abstained from voting for my actual favorite movie at all but if doesn’t get a little more representation at some point i may have to make a edit

+1 porco rosso - actual best ghibli
+1 gremlins 2 - that guy made an entire twitter gimmick about the richness of this object
+1 time bandits - i may have seen this more times than any film, has to count for something and why not this
+1 southland tales - kind of hate it but i can’t deny it’s context collapse: the movie and uhh Important on that basis
+1 bladerunner (any cut really but final if forced to decide) - such an elegant commerical for itself
