Yes man is definitely a good one too!
On my side, I would say the Truman show.
A classic, but it was the first time for me, and I really enjoyed it, it aged very well.
Did you also see it on Tubi? I watched it as well last week.
Great movie! As long as I can remember my family’s had it on VHS (then DVD), I must have seen it dozens of times over the years. Obviously I think it holds up lol but nice to hear it actually does.
Yes Man is my other favorite Jim Carrey movie, probably in part because he plays it somewhat serious too (though not as serious as Truman Show). It got middling reviews but I enjoyed it quite a bit - the comedy is a little more subtle than what you expect when you hear the premise and lead actor, but it works, and the romance elements are nice in it too. No masterpiece but worth a watch if you’re in the mood for something light and fun.
Sorcerer. With the passing of Freidkin (the director) I wanted to rewatch this amazing movie.
I watched The Death of Stalin finally after being recommended it to me years ago. Armando Iannucci is one of the funniest political satirist in my opinion. It was hilarious, sad, and scary with some scenes making me feel all 3 emotions at the same time.
Jacob’s Ladder (from 1990)
Recently saw this one on Mubi (I first saw it years ago). It’s good although very bleak.
This week I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. I loved the art direction, the dialogs and the original music.
Nice! I was curious about this one, it seemed cool
The Wailing
Only saw one (Oppenheimer) so it must have been the best.
Past Lives
Lost in Translation. One of my favorite films of all time.
I watched Jaws (1975), my first time! It was so good.
Two things stood out to me. One, I wasn’t expecting the movie to have such different first and second acts. It worked, but it surprised me. And two, Richard Dreyfuss’ character is incredibly well acted and fun. I don’t know, I was expecting the movie to feel “old”. Not only did it not, but his character in particular stood out as so well done and so fun to watch.
skinamarink! I heard many mixed reviews but I’m glad to say that my experience of it was great. it’s slow and weird and is quite abstract, but I actually got quite immersed.
Wife and I watched The Ledge. Very good
The Deer Hunter
