Finally watched “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and it was very different from any other Oscar winner I’ve seen, very clever, and surprisingly moving.

On my side, I would say the Truman show.
A classic, but it was the first time for me, and I really enjoyed it, it aged very well.

Devil's advocate. Truly Keanu Reeves in his prime, riffing with a fantastic Al Pacino. The movie still haunts and fascinates 26 years later. The cinematography is impeccable.

Asteroid city. Full disclosure I love pretty much every Wes Anderson movie, so it was kind of a no brainer that I’d love it. I feel like it’s more of an Anderson movie than the last few were though. It felt so much more like the royal tenenbaums or moonrise kingdom than the more recents like French dispatch did.

Lost in Translation. One of my favorite films of all time.
I watched Jaws (1975), my first time! It was so good.
Two things stood out to me. One, I wasn't expecting the movie to have such different first and second acts. It worked, but it surprised me. And two, Richard Dreyfuss' character is incredibly well acted and fun. I don't know, I was expecting the movie to feel "old". Not only did it not, but his character in particular stood out as so well done and so fun to watch.

This week I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. I loved the art direction, the dialogs and the original music.

I watched The Death of Stalin finally after being recommended to me years ago. Armando Iannucci is one of the funniest political satirist in my opinion. It was hilarious, sad, and scary with some scenes making me feel all 3 emotions at the same time.

The Wailing

La Haine. Really well shot, very interesting drama about 3 young French men in the poor parts of Paris.
Flight of the Navigator. Never watched it before and had a blast!
Past Lives
Sorcerer. With the passing of Freidkin (the director) I wanted to rewatch this amazing movie.
The best movie I've watched in the last week was Philadelphia. One of Tom Hanks' greatest films - possibly one of the most important films of all time. My girlfriend said she hadn't seen it ... so it was a must.
Yannick, good absurd comedy about social classes. Its french and short (1h07).
And hey made the ticket free for all persons called "Yannick" (you show your ID to prove it) .
Beau is Afraid
The Deer Hunter
Not really sure what to say about it honestly. I think it's a fantastic film, but it's also extremely dense and emotionally heavy. Superb acting performances from De Niro and Christopher Walken.
Only saw one (Oppenheimer) so it must have been the best.
skinamarink! I heard many mixed reviews but I'm glad to say that my experience of it was great. it's slow and weird and is quite abstract, but I actually got quite immersed.
Past Lives
Wife and I watched The Ledge. Very good
Hello @kingmongoose7877@lemmy.film , due to the high number of replies here, could we consider pinning this thread to allow further interaction along the week?
Oppenheimer
Grey Gardens (1975)
The Producers (1967)
The Rainmaker with Matt Damon. Great movie from my favorite era of film. Second would be The Blackening. Great, campy horror movie with lots of comedy
Fast 9, but Black Demon was a close second
The Quiet Girl. Absolutely enthralling despite the slow pace and, well, quiet. One of my favorite movies of the past few years.
The only one I watched was Apollo 13, so Apollo 13.
Joy Ride (2023) https://letterboxd.com/film/joy-ride-2023/
I was surprised. Very fun.
The VVitch
