45 - Amarcord (1973)

Certainly a lot of sex, piss, and fart-based humor in this lol, but it’s a charming batch of vignettes following a family and other quirky citizens of an Italian town under Fascism in the 1930s. The pencil-thin 30s brows are not for me.

A romance for the ages.

44 - Godland (2022)

Absolutely adored how this was filmed. That aspect ratio! It made me want to travel to Iceland, although in a pampered tourist way rather than the exhausting journey these characters went on lol. There’s a wonderful dog in this!

43 - Leila and the Wolves (1984)

So glad I took the time to watch both this and Sambizanga this year. Both are directed by women and focus on the lives of women, their often forgotten contributions to resistance against oppressors as well as their unique struggles.

42 - House (1977)

This was WILD! The only movie I’ve seen where someone is murdered by a futon or eaten by a piano. The subtitles called Oshare the lead girl ‘Gorgeous’ and Shiro the cat ‘Blanche,’ so I guess that works lol.

41 - The Devil's Backbone (2001)

You know I had to save Guillermo del Toro for October. Great characters and story. The jar with the dead baby juice was scarier than the ghost tbh. The hot guy villain was a real asshole, but boy was he hot.

40 - The Killer (1989)

Chow Yun-fat is so cool in this. I’m glad I rewatched Le Samourai recently because I can see the inspiration Woo took from it (but this is 1000x more violent lol). Cauterizing a wound with gunpowder and a lit cigarette, good lord. Shrimp Head!

39 - Mirror (1975)

I may not really “get” Tarkovsky, but his films are always visually stunning and that’s been enough for me each time. Sometimes vibes really are enough. This one floats from memory to memory, very nebulous.

I'm another 4-digit senior citizen lol - I'm 3686

38 - White Material (2009)

During an uprising in an unnamed African country, a white woman refuses to leave her struggling coffee plantation. One of the most stubborn characters I’ve seen in a while and with unsurprising consequences.

37 - When the Tenth Month Comes (1984)

During the Cambodian-Vietnamese war, a wife hides the death of her husband from the rest of her family. The subtitles for this were terrible, which is a shame since it’s such a heartbreaking story with emotional fantasy elements.

36 - The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972)

Girl, the wigs! These were some messy ass women. The characters lounge around in bed or on fugly shag carpet for like 94% of this movie. Marlene’s entire existence was depressing.

35 - Dil To Pagal Hai (1997)

Madhuri Dixit was unreal. Why was SRK driving a Cozy Coupe? The troupe’s house slash dance studio (?) was giving Angel Grove Youth Center. A delightful amount of PPL in this, thank you!

34 - The Earrings of Madame de... (1953)

Initially picked something I didn’t vibe with and replaced it with this - a better choice. Those earrings really got around. There’s a beautiful shot of torn up letters floating in the breeze that transitions to snowflakes…ok 1953!

33 - Memories of Murder (2003)

A bummer obviously, but I loved how lived in the sets were. This made me want to rewatch Beyond Evil, but I don’t think I need that stress again and this was dark enough lol.

Fanart of Sciel from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. We see her lifting up her right arm across her chest with a glowing magical card between her index and middle fingers, while her left arm rests downwards. She's looking at the camera with a soft smile. We can see red petals flying around her.

Happy birthday, I hope your buddy Jack will return :)

32 - Persona (1966)

I always heard this was a challenging one (it was), but I went for it. Liv Ullmann barely spoke, but she was amazing and Bibi’s monologues were so good. I definitely see its influence on Lynch for Mulholland Drive.

31 - Sambizanga (1972)

Set during the struggle for independence in Angola, a family man and revolutionary is arrested and taken away by police. We follow his wife as she searches for him, interspersed with scenes from daily life.
