Movies that don't suck

I was explaining this magnificent thing to a young friend yesterday:

If you haven't seen it, The Death of Stalin is fantastic and reminded me quite a bit of Dr. Strangelove in its ability to parody the insanity of government while somehow not straying too far from reality.

Wanted to love it, but given the prism of time, I wasn't smitten. If it'd been a bit more contemporary, I think I would've been more into it.

Finally got around to watching Stalker. Damn.

Tarkovsky is amazing. Watch Andrei Rublev if you have 3 1/2 hours to kill.

Has anyone else noticed a dearth of good commercial movies lately? maybe its just me.

I saw the green book recently. pretty good, a little uneven towards the end. entertaining though.

"Paths of glory"
another vote for "Requiem for a dream"
"Blue Valentine"
I must have somehting for stories that end badly...

Free Solo is a very scary and intense film. I left the theater with sore muscles and joints -- my jaw and knuckles especially. I probably could have also done a standing back flip, for the first and only time in my life, due to the adrenaline in my system.

Gotta see it again now that it's in IMAX nearby.

Saw it yesterday at an IMAX. Very intense!

One of my favourite films-I think I have to watch it again very soon.

Nobody has seen Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse yet? Everything I've heard is awesome but haven't made it yet.

I'm pretty much over super hero movies. They're fun and all, but there's so many of them now, it's hard to care when a new one comes out. As an example... I'm pretty sure I've seen this one, but I can't remember what it's about exactly.

Best superhero movies ever IMO were the Dark Knight series, especially The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger was amazing, best bad guy EVER. All the Batman movies since have sucked.



Jared Leto's Joker was pretty dang good too. Aren't they giving him his own movie?

I like TCM, always finding movies good movies I've never seen.

"Criminal Code", with (a young) Walter Houston (DA then Warden) and Boris Karloff (the Con) 1931

" The Eagle and the Hawk" Fredric March & Cary Grant, WWI flying , 1933

Grant also made my favorite airline movie, "Only Angels have Wings"

Just revisited a film from 1994.
Three Colours: White
It has held up quite well.

Fighting With My Family is a unexpectedly good biopic of a young lady from England rising to stardom in the WWE. An interesting view into a world most folks, including myself, never think about.

Paddleton on Netflix.

It's a delight.

I am deeply biased toward an animated version of Spidey. He came around when I was in Jr High. I stuck with the drawn likeness.

Bohemian Rhapsody.
