  Alien 1979

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Dec 2024

  Terrifying sci-fi classic that spawned a zillion copycats.

  Ridley and her crew are on a deep space mission. One of them gets too close to a space egg and a monster leaps out of his chest. One by one they’re slaughtered by a perfect killing machine.

  Dead Poets Society 1989

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Dec 2024

  Super teacher Mr. Keating arrives at an upper crusty east coast boarding school, shows some young dudes how to think for themselves, upsetting longstanding equilibrium.

  Robin Williams at his absolute least annoying.

  Flow 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  A logistical marvel (as the entire film was made by a team of twelve using free animation software), as well as a visually beautiful and expertly told story of a group of animals in survival mode (post humans), following climate catastrophe.

  No need for dialog or $100MM budget. It’s absolutely perfect as is.

  The Clowns 1970

  ★½ Watched 10 Feb 2025

  Weird, made for Italian TV mockumentary about the world of Italian clowns.

  This is budget Fellini.

  It’s painful to watch.
