The Towering Inferno 1974
A few really jaw-dropping scenes, but surprisingly slow (and a little dull) for a movie that spends most of its runtime on fire. Jennifer Jones was my MVP

Taxi Driver 1976
People talk about the Scorsese of it all, the De Niro of it all, the Schrader of it all. BUT LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE HERRMANN OF IT ALL. What a way to go out, huh?

The Brutalist 2024
Although I may kvetch about some of the plot choices towards the end, it’s hard to deny the sheer grandeur of this film (Score! Sets! Acting!) - a cinematic feast in many ways.
I also left the theater with things to chew on (not just the numerous snacks I had for the long, but engaging, run-time) - I appreciate that the movie didn’t lay its hand obviously bare like others have this cycle.
Also, Felicity’s accent could have been worse! Will count that as a win.
