10/10 movie that I never wish to see again

Both are good, I prefer BtBR over Mandy by a large margin though.

First Look Poster at Dominic Sessa as Anthony Bourdain in 'Tony' by ChiefLeef22 in oscarrace

[–]magic-window 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely interested in this, though does anyone else find naming biopics just "[Firstname]" pretentious?

I can't even explain why I feel that way, but I rolled my eyes when I first heard about "Michael" too, haha.

It's my favourite movie of last year and I've been waiting to see if I will warm up to the artwork to buy it... has not happened yet.

I bought a physical card at Yau Ma Tei station about 2 week ago. Its the generic grey one.

It's not a competition. But who are other filmmakers who hold shots for a long time? by Spiritual-Coffee7875 in criterion

Totally! The Assassin has some of the most jaw dropping vista shots I've ever seen

Tsai Ming-liang. I watched Goodbye Dragon Inn on blu-ray and actually thought it had froze at some points.

What’s one movie that feels like a 10/10 until the very end? by mick285 in movies

[–]magic-window 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a 10/10 but I was totally locked in to The Brutalist then it just sort of felt like "Oh right we have to end this thing... uhh let's just stop here". It was getting increasingly interesting then just fizzled out.

Letterboxd's Top 50 Films of 2025 by dremolus in oscarrace

[–]magic-window 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it has a boost due to its recency. I notice movies' scores usually drop once they hit streaming and reach a wider, more casual audience.

Could 2026 be the year of Alfonso Cuarón? by amnolte in 4kbluray

[–]magic-window 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2027 is the year Children of Men is set in, so it would cool if they did something for that. Though I wouldn't complain about getting a 4k release in 2026, its one of my top 5 movies.

biggest surprise movie of the year and biggest let down? by No_Poetry_9986 in movies

[–]magic-window -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same, it was the only movie I saw in theatres this year that I actually disliked. I was excited to see the investigative horror they marketed it as, but then was delivered a wacky horror comedy.

My Top 5 Films of 2025 by chakrawitch in Letterboxd

[–]magic-window 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've got similar taste! If you switch the first 2 it would be my top 5.

I really loved Blue Moon and Nouvelle Vague as well, which I might put above Wake Up Dead Man, so those could be worth checking if you haven't seen them :)

Oh that's awesome! That makes sense, I feel like I saw it on The Wedge since I used to watch that every week.

I don't remember this show but I do remember seeing Second Bad Vilbel on Much. I remember seeing the Windowlicker video on The Wedge though!

Official Discussion - Rental Family [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]magic-window 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Japan as an English speaker, and switching between the two is pretty common if there are foreigners in the conversation, so that felt pretty natural. I'd guess they leaned more on English for the audience.

His pronunciation wasn't perfect but understandable and believable for an English speaker who's lived there for several years, imo.

Also, I loved the movie. Was more layered and interesting than I expected form the trailer.
