Oppenheimer 2023
Hundreds if not thousands of dorks that were under the age of 16 (myself included) when The Dark Knight came out are vindicated in their obsession.
Incredible movie, Ludwig Göransson is a god among men.

The Irishman 2019
I’ve been eager to revisit this after Killers of the Flower Moon. Being only a few minutes longer, it’s interesting to see how Marty utilizes each film’s length and to what purpose.
Killers spends every available minute immersing you into a time and place that’s been both overlooked and underserved before now, using its final minutes to reckon with its own role in the tragedy-to-entertainment cycle. Irishman puts a character’s glory days and shopping of their own casket 50 years later…

The Godfather Part II 1974
Bigger, longer, deeper, meaner. As all sequels should be. Every time I watch this I’m blown away at how perfect it is, and how every choice made was the right one.
After watching this, part of me always wants to immediately run it back for round two.

The Godfather 1972
I think the key moment to this story is when Michael lights Enzo’s cigarette for him outside of the hospital, and he looks down at his hands to see that they’re steady.
Fucking amazing.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy 1979
At an appropriate time, I would very much be into another limited series adaptation, preferably on HBO. If it’s on Netflix I will commit arson.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi 2017
Rian Johnson went so hard and made so many awesome decisions with this that he broke the American psyche and made just about every franchise property (please save us, Spider-Verse) since at least 10% worse than it would have been had social media not existed.
If the night Force Awakens came out was the last time where being online was somewhat fun, the night The Last Jedi came out proved Newton’s Third Law applied to online as well as physics.…

GoodFellas 1990
I would have liked a quick scene of Karen explaining her interior design choices with that second house. Really wild stuff.

JFK 1991
As powerful as the first time I saw it many years ago on a dark and stormy night.
As X said, we can pick apart the who and the what all we like, but 60 years on now, the argument really can’t be made that the “why” that Oliver Stone ended up at wasn’t dead on.
The Presidency is a transitory role, acquiesced completely to military might, and sadly every President since Jack has fully bought into the mania. And…

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 2011
Fincher makes this shit look easy.
From the North to the South, Ebudæ unto Khartoum
From the deep Sea of Clouds to the Island of the Moon
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen
We can sail, we can sail with the Orinoco Flow
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)
We can steer, we can near
With Rob Dickins at the wheel
We can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependency
We can sail, we can sail
(Sail away, sail away, sail away)

Inglourious Basterds 2009
There’s so much to say about this, an essentially perfect movie, but the thing I most want to call out is Tarantino’s insane choice of using like six different fonts in the opening credits.
Please don’t stop making movies, sir.
