When the End of Days comes, I’m going to say goodbye to my family, find a nice abandoned mansion, and watch the pilot of Freaks and Geeks one last time.

Brief Encounter 1945
I think this is Lean's best film, which is strange considering it's perhaps his least ambitious (that I have seen anyway). I truly love a good epic, but the two leading performances captivate me more than any of his legendary vistas.

Little Women 2019
Wonderful on every level. The writing, the photography, the production design are all perfect. Ronan, Pugh, and Chalamet will get a lot of praise, deservedly so, but I think the Eliza Scanlen and Chris Cooper scenes stood out to me the most on first viewing. I'm going to watch this film 100 times.

1917 2019
I was a bit surprised at how much I liked this. Much more of an impressionistic take on war than I had imagined. Intricate, but not overly obsessed with detail or plot. I've never really appreciated Mendes as a storyteller, but the man clearly has incredible visual skills, and I find I'm much more drawn to his works that are larger in scope and budget (see Skyfall). He and Deakins actually make quite a good pair. Not the best film of the year but FAR worse films have won Best Picture.
