I saw Parasite blind. My date picked the movie, think I saw part of a trailer once, but I'm not even sure. What an amazing movie to go in blind. I had no idea what was going to happen or when, it felt like a roller coaster with all the twists and turns.
I went to a double feature because I wanted to see The Tin Drum. First I had to sit through another movie I had never heard of that sounded really corny: Runaway Train.
Starring John Voight and Eric Roberts, and with a screenplay by Akira Kurosawa, it was extraordinary. Certainly not just a cheap action flick.
Hunt for the Wilderpeople. I knew nothing before but it was super cozy. Still watch it once per year or so.
I didn’t choose the Skux life
...The skux life chose me
Excluding pretty much everything that I saw as a kid - when you go into basically everything blind - it would be After Hours (1985). I either hadn't read anything about it or hadn't been paying attention. Standing outside the cinema, I just saw that it was by Scorsese and went in.
I still think that it is one of his most under-appreciated films. And I loved the Ted Lasso homage, combining it with the Divine Comedy.
I had written off The Secret Life of Walter Mitty based on... Essentially nothing. I think I assumed it was just another Ben Stiller comedy flick.
I did finally watch the film and I was blown away. It is astonishingly beautiful and warm and just a joy to watch. The cinematography is stunning and its a film that made me start to take notice of the world around me even more.
Palm Springs - watched it without any info on what it was about or what would happen and enjoyed it hugely as a result.
Saw. I don't watch much horror but that movie kept me thinking about it til years later wanting to get the same feeling the first time I watched it.
