YES PLEASEEE SHARE im a fake ass cinephile too it’s alright…. every movie i log (the rare tiems i do) is always like 5 stars lmao
FAVORITE MOVIES IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER
None of these are based on "cinematic merit". If i laughed, it's here. If it's pretty, it's here. If I've referenced it ever in my art, it's because I liked it. I'm not exactly a shining exemplar of """"clean media consumption""""
I'M NOT PUTTING ANY OF THE CREEP FILMS BECAUSE IF I COULD REDO MY ENJOYMENT OF THE FRANCHISE I'D JUST SAY WATCH THE SERIES
Feel free to rec!! My general bit is that I absolutely adore B&W/Silents about boats or a nautical vibe lol.
TOP 4 EVER:
The Lighthouse - umm OBVIOUSLY. just divinely beautiful in every sense of the word. tragic, lovely, and, above all else, world-shatteringly haunted. not SCARY, HAUNTED
La Chinoise (The Chinese) - i think seeing opinions on asian topics (even with someone as divisive as mao) is just fun. captures the pure misguided adolescent confusion of being a young revolutionary well
Vision Quest - really good film to watch for a lot of demographics. it follows that "coming into manhood" story you see with a lot of sports flicks but in a way that feels a lot more connected to being young. also, matthew modine!
Jaws - what could i possibly fucking say. just awesome. it's so iconic that it loses what would have made it scary and now it's like a comfort movie to me

he's one of the higher ups and he got sent on a mission and his own ego doomed him as it always does aboard a pony express vessel. swansea has probably said a mean word about him that starts with f and ends with aggot
