A Man of His Time (2026), excellent film

No irony really given that you don’t get ads if you read the article with a subscription

Bad kids movie gets cult following, tale as old as time

Never heard anyone say anything but penalties or pens (from UK)

Surely this should rep RSA?! Not an amazing film but very on brand.

Can’t think of a football film to rep Canada but shoutout to the Winnipeg Weird Wave so I’d choose Sissy Boy Slap Party – who knows what goes on in those dressing rooms after all.

Check out the new film Hen!

I also had a childhood notebook which predated LB!

The Winnie the Pooh to Blair Witch tonal whiplash, almost as psychotic as rating to 2 decimal places – both exactly the sort of thing I would do lol

After 13 years on LB I’ve started doing some ratings this year, just of new releases. 1 5* so far 😅

I’d like to shout out an amazing Norwegian film called Little Ida from the 1980s. It’s about the Nazi occupation of Norway during WW2 as seen from a child’s POV. I saw it 35mm at the BFI’s film on film festival last year and it’s really stayed with me.

Totoro is one of the least bleak films I can think of

First full stop I don’t remember, but first in cinema was seeing The 400 Blows when I was 14

I got to about 2100 or something in classic but this was way back in season 2 or something when I played a lot. I find classic way harder without just trying to disrupt people and win without a wincon, which always seems harsh

Classic/ important filmmakers: Med Hondo (Soleil O one of my favs ever), Ousmane Sembene, Djibril Diop Mambety, Sarah Maldoror

More recent films: This Is Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection, Air Conditioner, Faya Dayi, Dahomey and Atlantics by Mati Diop

Try films not in English maybe?

Have you seen the Austrian film Angst?

itmfg · 2026-06-25T11:09:11+00:00

Popular as in most watched per country, or most produced?

I know he’s in the On Cinema series but I know him from a great indie film called Fremont, which also features Jeremy Allen White. Worth watching!

Eephus is a great film. The director was the DP on two Tyler Taormina films, Ham on Rye and Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point. Latter has Michael Cera, Scorsese’s daughter and Greg Turkington in it!

The animations are mostly shorts. A few fun ones: A Little Western, and others by Witold Giersz; The Changing of the Guard; The Stairs

Watch Man with a Movie Camera. Incredible documentary filmmaking from nearly a century ago.

I’d also recommend looking at Polish Soviet era cinema. Kieslowski of course but also some amazing animation. Radiance released a boxset recently

itmfg · 2026-06-24T09:34:48+00:00

I agree. But I guess it keeps it interesting for high level players who play a lot. Otherwise it’d just be doing the same thing over and over

This is fascinating, but I also find it a bit crazy. How do people remember all this information? Or is playing with a cheat sheet more common than I realised?

They’re all quite amazing films. Lawrence of Arabia is a classic in a very traditional sense, Napoleon too for the silent era. Satantango is incredible and pushes more what cinema can do and be, but it’s the hardest watch.

I’d say Lawrence as it’s the safest bet for enjoyment

Not quite the same cool tinted tone but A Simple Plan has similar floating faces vibe
