Nowhere 1997
It's weird when you watch something for the first time and it still makes you feel so nostalgic. I've known/been/fucked/mourned/loved so many of the characters in this movie at one point or another in my life, it's hard not to get sentimental. A kaleidoscopic portrait of teen queer nihilism.

Crimes of the Future 2022
OK I'm so sorry completely underrated this on my first go around. Much to think about. Mostly I love this is basically one of those long Metal Gear cutscenes, in that it's mostly exposition and worldbuilding between interesting people, most of whom are in great psychological or physical pain

The Music Room 1958
My first Satyajit Ray. Devastatingly good. An indictment of the feudal nature of capitalism, social climbing, and solipsism. Beautiful music numbers and consistently stunning cinematography envelop the film in a trance-like atmosphere. It might come off more heavy-handed if it weren't for this ethereal quality.

The last 20 or so minutes really kicked this…

Limbo 2021
Reserve Shot - Gunman. The bleak rampage that will most probably face unfortunate censors. Like the worthy Ringo Lam revival that never was. Miserable set-pieces; the falseness and tense betterment, in which the coda that can be seen in two different sides. Attempted stabbing into the unbubbled shells of incomprehensible wastelandic scales that bludgeoned inside a tortured texture of fucked. Everyone is lonely in the mutilating schemes of the city symphonizing destruction.

The Evil Dead 1981
The perfect stoned horror movie. All the blood, goofs, gaffs and laughs that ya need.
Everyone in this movie is the stupidest person and I love them all. Ash is the master of getting bucked into shelves.
