  One of the most important movies ever made. Spent years in college pointing at the screen and saying “they are literally us” and then we literally finished out the plot of the movie. Rest in peace Zahm House

  The Departed 2006

  ★★★★★ Watched 03 Jan 2024

  Many years ago, when I was in high school, a close friend of mine told me about a movie starring Leo, Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Alec Baldwin, and Martin Sheen. I laughed. I shook my head. “Of course no such movie exists!”, I exclaimed. He told me that it was directed by Martin Scorsese, and that it was somehow his only Oscar win. 

  I ran home. 

  I will never forget watching this for the first time. It is exceptional, anxiety-inducing, and absolutely heinous. I was lucky to really appreciate my first watch, and they never get old, or worse. Cinema!!!
