Black Jack: The Movie 1996
This film is a bit too overlong for what it has going on, bloating its runtime with repetitions on the same idea and globe trotting that didn't feel necessary or even all that fun. It could have very easily been a 50 minute episode of the series and would have felt a lot more engaging that way, many episodes of the OVA cover just as much ground much more effectively in that runtime.

The Green Knight 2021
A brilliant exploration about the contradictions inherent in the following of a chivalrous code and how that deeply affected its followers mental and emotional states shifted into a joyless and lifeless tale about some horny dipshit trying to be courageous. Utilizes the aesthetics of the poem but not the thematic core.
Also, does anyone else find it strange that the 14th-century poem features Gawain willingly giving passionate kisses to men whilst the 2021 adaptation has a single scene in which a kiss is traded between men and it is given to Gawain by the antagonist and he reacts negatively? More homophobic than the 421+-year-old poem folks.
