Aren't you on the ICMForum as well. The poll was open there too.

Also, I had no idea this forum had a discord either.

Wouldn't have minded giving all my points to Children of Paradise: Les Enfants du paradis/ Children of Paradise (1945, Marcel Carne`) Roma, città aperta / Rome, Open City (1945, Roberto Rossellini) Dead of Night (1945, Alberto Cavalcanti & Charles Crichton) Les dames du Bois de Boulogne (1945, R...

Looks like something I should seek out ASAP) Estiu 1993 / Summer 1993 (2017, Carla Simón) Visages villages (2017, Agnès Varda & JR) Les garçons sauvages / The Wild Boys (2017, Bertrand Mandico) Happy End (2017, Mich...

My current and frequently updated)! list: https://letterboxd.com/gloede/list/my-top-10-of-2023/

Quite a few changes from the list I posted on Dec 8th already, but still a lot more to see.

i'm waiting on subs; eng sub is uploaded:) Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World is radu jude's best movie imo My favourite of the year (so far). What I wrote on it: Shot on 16mm black and white film and then push processed to look extra grainy, grungy and lo-fi, this was not quite the f...

I finally have a close to all-great top 10, though I suspect only the top 2-4 will remain once I have caught up properly, which I usually manage by the end of March (most of my watchlist is still unavailable to me). 1. Anatomy of a Fall (Justine Triet) 8.5 2. Afire (Christian Petzold) 3. Barbie (Gre...

It has been a very long time since I saw the majority of these. Interestingly a rather comedy heavy year for me as we move down the list a little, and what's up with Boys Town and Boys' School popping up at different sides of the Atlantic? Aleksandr Nevskiy (1938, Sergei M. Eisenstein) Angels with D...

My ballot: https://letterboxd.com/gloede/list/my-beyond-the-sight-and-sound-canon-ballot/ Very difficult exercise. I essentially used my all-time favourite list, expluded the ineligible titles and then went to work cutting the end product down. I was surprised by how many were left, about half of my...

Can't find any films from '98 that excites me, ticking off films that have gathered dust on my harddrive instead. What kind of films generally excite you? Maybe we can help. Hard to pinpoint, something along the lines of my 90's favs I guess. https://letterboxd.com/greennui/list/a-list-of-favourite...

Sounds tasty?

I noticed that there's a Pez doc on Netflix as well.

All my nominations have been revealed already: In: Der Hauptmann von Köpenick / The Captain from Köpenick (1931, Richard Oswald) Film ohne Titel / Film Without a Name (1948, Rudolf Jugert) Film Portrait (1970, Jerome Hill) Holdovers: o.k. (1970, Michael Verhoeven) Privilege (1990, Yvonne Rainer) Did...

Haha, wow, I wonder what people see in it. Must be Vaughn's stellar acting.

In other news Privilege actually made holdover, so extremely happy about that. Now let's see if we can get an intersectional feminist film exploring menopause onto the list next year.

Wow... Now I kinda want to see it to see just how far into overt Fascist territory it goes. Also, damn it, you should have nominated films, rischka! Over on ICMForum where people could promote films and I managed to get quite a few obscure favourites of mine over the line and into the list. I think ...

Not seen this one. I guess I'm sceptical about the concept of a Vince Vaughan masterpiece

But I am intruiged.

And really nice to hear you love Eastern Block war films in general, this one is definitely different.

I guess Eastern European war films are also a bit of a niche in thrir melancholy. I love the sub-genre in general for their far more bleak and un-glamour used depiction of war, with all fun removed. In this case in particular you also have the unnerving tension between our leads, and how at least I ...

Very Happy Alexander is just such a joy of a black comedy! Highly recommended to all. <3 <3 <3

Fully agree with Zynab and rischka on Secret Beyond the Door.
