Empire of the Sun 1987
Nice to see Malkovich when his weirdness was slight enough to be quietly compelling, rather than the outright absurd blaze he eventually grew into.

Killers of the Flower Moon 2023
A unsettlingly reserved portrayal of inept lawmen pursuing inept conspirators in a nauseatingly greedy plot to murder dozens of Osage people in virtually plain sight. Scorsese shows you the "wolves in the picture" early in the film, and, lacking a conventional mystery, you hope for a twist that makes the genocide make more sense. There is no twist; they're evil.

The Exorcist 1973
Watching this over the course of 3 hours on AMC at my parents' with endless 5-minute commerical breaks isn't ideal, but I won't hold it against the movie.
