The Last Picture Show 1971
Growing up in a small, dying Texas town haunted by the ghosts of the generations before and the generations that’ll be stuck there in the future is as melancholy as it gets. The only solace is straining to find love and connection with whomever you can find it with. But when nobody in this town knows how to even friggin kiss let alone have sex it makes it all the more depressing. Good god, someone get this town a porno magazine or a video or a sex therapist or anything to teach these sad sacks how to do it.

Tony Gilroy is a master of his craft. I can listen to his monologues forever.

Crimson Tide 1995
Maybe Tony Scott at his purest. An action movie with barely any action. Just two dudes stuck in a submarine arguing over their philosophies on The Art of War.
I mean this as a compliment - Gene Hackman has played some of the best republican characters, both protagonists and antagonists, in movie history. RIP.

Baker’s best. From the jump he’s seducing you into thinking this is a fun, mysterious, exciting, hilarious, sexy, odyssey through dimly lit strip clubs, Brooklyn mansions, Coney Island boardwalks, the bright lights of Vegas, and the back streets of New York. These oddly lovable characters surround, overwhelm, and try and pull and push Anora towards and away from the Cinderella story she thinks she wants. But Baker waits until the last couple minutes to show you what the movie is really about. And he absolutely rips your heart out.
