  Before Sunrise 1995

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 06 Nov 2020

  Probably my 5th or 6th viewing. This movie is perfect. I like it more every time I watch it. It is quite possibly my favorite of all time. So many perfect scenes and exchanges that I forget them between viewings. The "listening booth" scene is easily my favorite 45 seconds of any movie, but this viewing reminded how great the first kiss was.

  Jesse & Celine forever.

  Queer sci-fi hero’s journey rock opera black mirror episode.  I am here for it.  

  You can’t hate on this and lament lack of originality in modern cinema.

  Rewatch with Tyler.  So many little perfect details. This is a masterpiece.  Loved it even more the second time.

  Fantastic Lies 2016

  ★★ Watched 30 Aug 2022

  Interesting story but far too forgiving of the players. Sexual assault was the only crime they didn't commit that night. Really wish this doc had delved more into the crimes of racism, misogyny, and privilege that led up to this story rather than treat the young men as heroes who would go on to dedicate their life fighting for justice like some Martha's Vineyard Avengers....

  Barry Lyndon 1975

  ★ Watched 17 Mar 2020 5

  I am utterly amazed that so many people could've spent so much time, money, and artistic effort to make such a morose, boring, and lifeless movie.

  EDIT: So apparently droll doesn't mean what I thought it meant.
