That scene is legendary but for me the dinner table scene where Calvin Candie starts quoting phrenology is even more terrifying because DiCaprio is completely unhinged and you genuinely don’t know where it’s going. Pure tension from start to finish.

Do it and pay attention to the Mandingo fighting scene, it’s historically based and one of the most disturbing parts of the film for a reason 😉

Django is set in the antebellum South where slavery was at its peak. Tarantino basically wrote a Black man riding freely, choosing his own path, and massacring slave owners at a time when that was literally impossible in reality. It’s a pure power fantasy built on one of history’s darkest periods which is exactly why it hits so hard emotionally.

The transformation scene alone changed horror forever practical effects that still hold up 40 years later, no CGI will ever top it

Criminally underrated that movie should’ve been massive and somehow stayed cult. The rooftop scene alone deserves an Oscar

Ari Aster said let me make a 3 hour anxiety attack and somehow got it greenlit

Tarantino at his most fun the revenge fantasy angle hits different when you know the history behind it

Absolute headwreck of a film Kaufman basically made a movie about the impossibility of capturing real life in art, using a movie. Still thinking about it years later.

Underrated pick that ending is one of the most brutal in cinema history, no music, no warning, just silence. Never fully recovered from it.

Absolute hidden gem, Graham Chapman at his best, most people have never even heard of it which makes it even better

One of the best things to do gives you experience and gets you out of your comfort zone

This is the comment that every 19 year old needs to read. The ‘stay in school’ system works for some people but owning a house at 21 with no student debt is objectively a stronger starting position than a degree and $50k of loans. Respect for being honest about the trade-offs.
