In some cases, the band was named after the movie; other times, not.
The list doesn't include movies that are actually about the band of the same name (i.e. The Doors, The Runaways).

]]>My favorites from among the vintage and near-vintage films (and two major works for television) that I saw for the first time in 2021.
As in previous years, the ranking doesn't precisely jibe with the star ratings. A reminder that imperfection is beautiful.

]]>My 26 favorites from among the 97 vintage and near-vintage films I saw for the first time in 2020.
Notes:
I realize the ranking doesn't precisely jibe with the star ratings. Imperfection is beautiful.
I conceived this as a list of 25 with Mur Murs and Documenteur occupying the same slot. If you've seen them, you'll understand why.
- Design for Living
- Grey Gardens
- In a Year with 13 Moons
- Pale Flower
- One Wonderful Sunday
- Titicut Follies
- Kiss Me Deadly
- Z
- One-Eyed Jacks
- Mur Murs

]]>Fifty films released since 1980 that I highly recommend for someone who hasn't seen as many movies as they wish they had. The list emphasizes medium- to low-profile films that are nonetheless pretty easy to take. In other words, I've tried to eliminate strongly avant-garde films or those that require somewhat rarified tastes, and also films that are so well-known that my recommendation would be redundant.
- Holy Motors
- Mulholland Drive
- 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
- Shoplifters
- Summer Hours
- Foxcatcher
- The Freshman
- Roxanne
- Repo Man
- Local Hero
...plus 40 more. View the full list on Letterboxd.
