On my side, I would say the Truman show.

A classic, but it was the first time for me, and I really enjoyed it, it aged very well.

I watched The Death of Stalin finally after being recommended to me years ago. Armando Iannucci is one of the funniest political satirist in my opinion. It was hilarious, sad, and scary with some scenes making me feel all 3 emotions at the same time.

Time for a rewatch, it has been soo long

I watched Jaws (1975), my first time! It was so good.

Two things stood out to me. One, I wasn't expecting the movie to have such different first and second acts. It worked, but it surprised me. And two, Richard Dreyfuss' character is incredibly well acted and fun. I don't know, I was expecting the movie to feel "old". Not only did it not, but his character in particular stood out as so well done and so fun to watch.

My guess as to why it doesn’t feel ‘old’ is that it set the standard for modern blockbusters.

Jacob's Ladder (from 1990)

Recently saw this one on Mubi (I first saw it years ago). It's good although very bleak.

La Haine. Really well shot, very interesting drama about 3 young French men in the poor parts of Paris.

Sorcerer. With the passing of Freidkin (the director) I wanted to rewatch this amazing movie.

Beau is Afraid

This week I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. I loved the art direction, the dialogs and the original music.

Nice! I was curious about this one, it seemed cool

Hello @kingmongoose7877@lemmy.film , due to the high number of replies here, could we consider pinning this thread?

Joy Ride (2023) https://letterboxd.com/film/joy-ride-2023/

I was surprised. Very fun.

[–] JakeyFlex@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Wife and I watched The Ledge. Very good

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

The only one I watched was Apollo 13, so Apollo 13.

The Rainmaker with Matt Damon. Great movie from my favorite era of film. Second would be The Blackening. Great, campy horror movie with lots of comedy

skinamarink! I heard many mixed reviews but I'm glad to say that my experience of it was great. it's slow and weird and is quite abstract, but I actually got quite immersed.

[–] fratermus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Only saw one (Oppenheimer) so it must have been the best.

[–] Tavarin@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Oppenheimer

Fast 9, but Black Demon was a close second
