3,9,10 for movie asks !!
3. a summer blockbuster
OOH okay...this was a bit hard, i thought i had a bunch but then i remembered that "blockbuster" refers more to huuuge financial success and not just critical success...i thiiink i'm gonna go with inception, i just really love any piece of media that has to do with dreams, i love how grand the scale of the world is, ALSO elliot page is there <3 standout performance from him in this one.
9. a film from the year you were born
best in show was one of the first that came to mind!! it's part of a larger series of mockumentaries by christopher guest, and while i thought i wasn't really a fan of that genre his mockumentaries proved me DEAD wrong they're so funny oh my god. the cast is so memorable, a lot of the script was improvised but the bits are sooo good. it just feels like a bunch of friends got invited to hang out together and do improv while surrounded by a bunch of dogs. it's one of my all-time favorite feel-good watches, just a very pleasant movie all around :) also there's LESBIANS!!
10. a film where the vibes are immaculate
OH I HAVE SO MANY OF THESE. i'm gonna go with the cook, the thief, his wife & her lover !! the vibe of this is just indescribable to me but i will try. this thing has the sensibilities of a stage play, if that makes sense. the look is so purposefully overdressed and artificial as commentary on 80s conservatism and consumerism, particularly with food and gatekeeping "gourmet" food. food is a symbol of power in this movie and it mixes a LOT with imagery of sex and violence and, euhh. Several bodily fluids . to get the point across but it is done beautifullyyy. it's so hyperstylized. there's some great color symbolism in the set design as well. i think this is one everyone should watch at least once in their lives <3
