Cool Hand Luke caught me off guard. I went in thinking typical prison-break stuff, maybe standard chain-gang clichés. Nope, it’s way beyond that. Paul Newman is incredible here, impossible not to watch. His story hits hard—thrilling in parts, heartbreaking in others, and always feeling deeply human. Left me thinking about it for days.

Seven Samurai 1954
Immediately hooked. Those first few moments had me locked in. Kurosawa’s direction is masterful, sure, but Toshiro Mifune just owns every scene he’s in. Raw energy, swagger, vulnerability all at once. He’s impossible not to watch.
And the setting itself? Practically its own character. Muddy paths, village huts, rain-soaked standoffs—it all adds to the grit and humanity. Loved seeing these guys come together bit by bit; nothing felt forced. Earns every ounce of its reputation.

What Dreams May Come 1998
This movie isn’t everyone’s cup but it sure is mine. It deals with themes of death, grief, the afterlife, suicide. Not a light watch but an amazing experience with masterclass performances by Robin Williams and the rest of the cast.

The Apartment 1960
I can’t get over the fact that Jack Lemmon was truly a comedic genius.
