Drunken Master 1978
I've learned that I am a simple man whose heart overflows with joy while watching Jackie Chan do his thing.

Secrets & Lies 1996
Wowee. Just so many profoundly moving details here. Lived in, of course, but also more structured than the earlier films of Leigh. As far as I have seen, probably the quintessential Leigh film in that - while not necessarily my favourite - it feels the most refined and clearsighted. I do feel the climax tips a bit much into mellodrama for my tastes. Could watch Timothy Spall interact with his photography clients for hours.

We Live in Time 2024
this maudlin fucking stupid movie made me almost cry like six times which is a testament to the performances and raw charisma of the leads and nothing /NOTHING/ else.

Future Boy Conan 1978
It takes a while to get going but...whew - the back half of this show is absolutely fantastic. It's genuinely harrowing! Wish Miyazaki did more long form stories.
