Say Anything... 1989
I thought I’d seen this when I was younger but guess I was mistaken.
It’s kind of remarkable that this movie came out in the 80s. It really subverts a lot of toxic tropes a protagonist in this kind of rom-com has to overcome. Instead Lloyd consistently displays “green flag” behavior (aside from some light borderline stalking in the beginning.)
Diane’s father, while embroiled in some questionable undertakings, proves to be a consistently loving, caring, thoughtful, and for the most…Translated from by -

Loved this movie. It didn’t follow the narrative I’d expected at all. I imagined a sort of Cinderella story, but it subverts that entirely about a third of the way through and becomes something completely different. There’s almost a Cohen Brother’s light heartedness to the characterization of what would normally be flatly characterized criminals. The film all at once feels very real and humanized, while retaining its own style. Likely to be my favorite film of 2024

My Cousin Vinny 1992
Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?

I had a decent understanding of what this movie was going into it…. Or so I thought. I thought it was high school girls deciding to start a fight club. What I got was far more of the poignant undertones and absurdist dark humor of movies like fight club, but less nihilistic and through a feminist, LGBTQ lense. The movie so nicely dips into absurdism throughout, building to a crescendo in the climax where we find ourselves not only willing to accept that absurdity, we are excited about it and lusting for blood.
