Miller's Crossing 1990
Watch this the first time because there has to be a first time for any movie.
Watch it the second time to understand the plot.
Watch it over and over again after that because it's one of the best movies by the best American filmmakers still working... maybe, depending on the day, my personal favorite.
A crime movie where the most important mystery is never whodunnit (although those mysteries do exist), but rather the inner emotional life of the protagonist. By the time the film is over, Tom's motivations for his actions are both perfectly understandable, and completely unknowable, in the best way.

The Worst Person in the World 2021
My patience wanes for films about the romantic tribulations of expressly young and beautiful people, but there's both a considered emotional modulation here and a surplus of bravura directorial choices. Soundtrack also ace.

Drag Me to Hell 2009
The first time I saw this was opening night at the recently shuttered Court Street Regal in Brooklyn, probably the most fun movie theater in America to see a horror movie. Loud, shameless, and utterly engaged, audiences could ruin the wrong movie or elevate the right one. This movie opens cold in 1969 by literally dragging a 10-year-old boy to hell after he steals a gypsy’s necklace. Gloves are off, Sam Raimi is telling us, we’re coming out swinging. That crowd swung back and when the stunning and hilariously mean-spirited ending hit, I thought the room might incinerate. Love da movies.
