The Last Dance (Jason Hehir, 2020) 9/10 - Exquisite docu-series. A real treat for me as a 90s kid. I don't follow much of NBA nowadays, but it made me feel nostalgic about NBA basketball of that era. A great time capsule of the 90s in general too. F for Fake (Orson Welles, 1973) 8/10 - Great docudr...

Final list: (only three films)

High Noon (Fred Zinnemann)

Singin' in the Rain (Stanley Donen, Gene Kelly)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v2EYfHzjZ8 From Subway (1985). A beautiful film! The song is performed by Arthur Simms from the band Love & Kisses. Simms passed away in 1987 from AIDS. There's also a great fan-made music video that I put in spoiler view as it shows the entire story. https://www...

35. Beautiful (Sally Field, 2000) 6/10 Directed by Women challenge A movie about beauty pageants sounds boring and, likely, full of clichés. However, the approach to show the flaws of a leading character instead of making her a saint is a welcome change. Apparently that was the draw for Sally Field ...

i watched the white buffalo (thompson 1977) That's the one I've been meaning to see for a long time now. Better get to it during this summer. Always enjoy a good Bronson adventure. By the way, Rischka, have you seen another snowy western from Bronson + Lee Marvin - Death Hunt (1981) ? Story-wise it...

I constantly rewatch films. And not just the ones I rated high, but also plenty of b-movies that are my guilty pleasures.

This month I finally watched Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy again. It still holds up amazingly well. Great films!

From Jessica Hausner i can recommend Amour Fou (2014) and Lourdes (2009). Both worthwhile films.

I liked that supporting characters are so well written. Plenty of good character arcs. And the supporting cast features great actors too - Margo Martindale one of them! i've finally given in and decided that matthew rhys is hot. don't know why i resisted so long lol Same for me with Keri Russell. :l...

ok i started binging the americans to tide me over the end of succession :P i'll be ok :( I watched first four seasons of The Americans two years ago. I loved it. A great series all around. Wonderful cast and gripping story. I enjoy spy stuff in films and TV, plus the Cold War theme is interesting ...

33. LolliLove (Jenna Fischer, 2004) 7/10 A really fun and creative mockumentary by Jenna Fischer. Along with James Gunn she goes on a quest to help homeless people by giving each a lollipop with an uplifting message. A timely and smart satire that pokes fun at society's response to homelessness and ...

It's a Western Challenge on ICM, so I plan to watch some westerns this month. Already started with Thornton's All the Pretty Horses and two by André De Toth (both starring Randolph Scott). All the Pretty Horses (Billy Bob Thornton, 2000) 5/10 All I got to say is that it feels incomplete. Would love ...

Adam Wants to Be a Man (1959)

A bit of a "Lithuanian L'Atalante".

Debut role for Donatas Banionis from Solaris.

I will always take bloated self seriousness over what alternative - camp ? not at all - there is a wide ranger of pulp/pop modes you can work in before you get anything near something like the schumacher movies (or the '60s tv show), or even the baroque stylization of the burton movies (and others ...
