Mine have stayed consistent for about 4 years now. I will show American psycho to everyone I know and gauge their reaction. Do they feel like this is a good representation of their life? Dp they focus on the sex and horror? Do they get the time period and jokes? Do they want to be Patrick Bateman? All very important questions.
Inglorious bastards is the most enjoyable movie you could watch. A serious of tense conversations that end in almost everyone dying and most of them are nazis. Absolutely perfect.
Under the silver lake is a weird one. I love the movie for what it’s trying to do and don’t fault it for not succeeding. I watch it every year around this period, just before the summer heatwave. It is an essential LA summer, conspiracy noir movie that has more good ideas than expectation. It still represents me perfectly.
Hot Fuzz is a new entry on the list, I’ve seen it a long time ago and loved it but just recently rewatched it and realized it’s everything I love. People going on with a system that doesn’t really serve them, petty small town politics, taking your life too seriously, fucking up and it not really mattering, the importance of friendship and tearing everything down. Absolutely lovely.

The Wicker Man (1973) - my favorite movie ever. folk horror masterpiece. so beautiful visually, and such a rich text with so much to interpret and analyze its just one of those movies you think about for the rest of your life.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World (2010) - unfortunately this movie has gotten a bad reputation so people make assumptions when you admit to liking it but I love this movie. I think its an insanely fun movie to watch, I love how it’s done with the fun comic book/retro video game style, and at its core is a beautiful story about love, change, and growth.
Hereditary (2018) - I actually haven’t seen this movie in a long time but I really love the story, I think it’s a haunting family tragedy that transitions into expertly-done horror. I love the occult elements and the symbolism and I’m badly due for a rewatch just for the richness and complexity of it all
Goodfellas (1990) - my favorite mob movie ever. Scorsese’s masterpiece. like many of Scorsese’s movies, it’s about a guy hubristically ruining his own life, but its so beautifully shot and written and is so rightfully a staple of the genre.

I’m limiting myself to 10 to be sensible and these are subject to frequent and unpredictable change. Tried to do a range of genres and a few well beloved directors. I hope you find as much joy in cinema as I have!
Howls Moving Castle - when you say you’ve seen nothing, does this mean no ghibli? There’s a whole load of Studio Ghibli films that are amazing, this is my comfort Film.
Jennifer’s Body - essential bisexual cult cinema. never met a man who likes it, never met a woman who doesn’t
It Follows - possibly my favourite ever horror movie.
Four Lions - Probably my favourite comedy ever, very British, very brilliant
Arrival - one of only two times a film has given me the feeling of the sublime in the same way seeing the alps did.(the other one is The Green Knight, consider this a sneaky Rec for that too) Beautiful sci-fi.
The Virgin Suicides - Arguably Sofia Coppola’s best film.
The Big Lebowski - my favourite Coen Brother’s film (I have Maud tattooed on me). fun and hugely well loved.
Only Lovers Left Alive - Jim Jarmusch is a must watch director, this and Paterson are my faves. Tilda Swinton and TI’m Hiddleston play sexy vampires.
Ocean’s 11 - very vocal about my love for heist films, and this is the cream of the crop

1) Bound (1996) This movie only works because we (the audience) believe that Corky and Violet want to fuck and that Caesar might actually kill someone. I think it’s a masterpiece and it’s kind of crazy to me that it’s a debut feature. If you’re a lesbian who hasn’t seen this, you should drop whatever you’re doing right now and watch it. 10/10 perfect movie.
2) Spider (2002) Ok nothing nice happens to anyone for the entire duration of this movie. I have mixed feelings about Cronenberg’s post 9/11 catalogue (least what I have seen of it) but I quite liked the fairly literary style of this movie and his handling of unreliable narration however this might be the bleakest movie I have seen in years.
3) Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) I fear this didn’t make much of an impression on me aside from being a fun comedy of errors. I think Snatch might be a slightly better movie.
4) Grand Theft Hamlet (2024) Dead last I fear and it’s not even close. Having sat with it, I fear that the documentary itself is quite stiff and is probably 30 minutes longer than it needed to be. I think I would have gotten much more out of a simple recording of the performance (the idea for which is brilliant).

Winters are a depressing, polluted sludge in my new city, every day for weeks has just been drab and gray. The first sparks of sunlight hitting me as I just switched to working from home and these good signs are filling me with hope!
