Movie Recommendations

since quarantine started, I think I’ve watched more movies in the past three weeks than I have in the past 6 months. here’s some of my favorites

The Lobster (2015)

dir: Yorgos Lanthimos

available on: Netflix

if your looking for a movie that’s going to make you think beyond what you are given, this is it. Facinating concept, executed well, beautifully shot and gripping ending.

Her (2013)

dir: Spike Jonze

available on: Netflix

One of my favorites I saw during this time. Thoroughly engaging through its longer runtime and stunningly done. Great performances by all invovled.

Booksmart (2019)

dir: Olivia Wilde

available on: Hulu

Shocked me with how much I enjoyed it. If you are looking for an upbeat, feel good, and funny movie, I reccommend it. 

Boy (2010)

dir: Taika Waititi

available on: amazon prime

My favorite movie ever made. Taika Waititi is a genius. Mixes emotion with humor very well. Beautifully done.

What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

dir: Taika Waititi/Jermaine Clement 

Please watch this if you want to laugh. One of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen with somehow having a group of characters where you like them all.

Submarine (2011)

dir:  Richard Ayoade

I don’t have much to say since I haven’t seen this movie since 2013, but I remember being infatuated with it.

The Way Way Back (2013)

dir: Jim Rash/Nat Faxon

What I believe to be an underrated movie. 

Nightcrawler (2014)

dir: Dan Gilroy

available on: amazon prime

Watched this days ago and still can’t decide on my feelings about it. Gripping and deeply unsettling. Do wish there was more of a backstory on the main characters part.

Moonlight (2016)

dir: Barry Jenkins

available on: netflix

This movie is beautiful. Everything got to me after the final cut.

Bo Burnham: Make Happy (2016)

dir: Bo Burnham, Christopher Storer

availabe on: netflix

Now this is a comedy special. Since watching it when released, I haven’t stopped thinking about it. One of the smartest, most thought provoking pieces of film I have ever seen. It truly sticks with you even after you finish. Plus, it’s very funny.

Chronicle of a Summer (1961)

dir: Jean Rouch/Edgar Morin

Watched for a class and was stunned by how much I was enamoured with it. Follows ethnographers asking the question, “are you happy?”

Skeleton Twins (2014)

dir: Craig Johnson

available on: Hulu

this movie was great. shocked by their acting, to be quite honest. loved it

Strange and massive objects plow near the moon, captured on amateur film from Quebec, Canada. (26.03.2020).

still feels bad but at least I’m not uncritically regurgitating my negative thoughts!

Tender kisses tender kisses tender kisses tender kisses...in gif...?

Feels bad don’t it, Jimmy-Boy?
