Parasite 2019
“All you'll need to do is walk up the stairs. Take care until then. So long.”
I remember when this first came out and being blown away. On every viewing, I’m still blown away.

He enters the movie 2/3 of the way through and you’d swear he was there the whole time. His chemistry with Kevin Conroy shines even in limited minutes. The Phantasm/Beaumont…
