Why? I mean what did you expect from Narnia or Justice League? I've heard good things about latest Thor and I already watched Logan, but those are the only 2 superhero movies I thought were worth watching in 2017

You know, when you're ill you get to appreciate when you're healty. When you're sad you get to like happiness a lot more.

When you watch a piece of shit movie, you get to appreciate and love good ones a whole lot more.

Besides, I love watching movies, it's a passion for me. I read quite a lot comics too and I watched all super hero movies despite of them being total crap in 99% of the cases. Sometimes I need a stupid movie/popcorn movie to relax my brain.

In other news, there are like 3 screenings of The Killing Of A Sacred Deer in a 50km radius around my city Most of them are arthouse movie theatres with like a 50cm TV infront of 10 chairs. And Wind River still hasn't arrived. And Hostiles will arrive fuck knows when. And I couldn't watch BR2049 in an IMAX because they tore down the IMAX in favour of some Primark for turks. Cinema landscape in this country is so damn grim

That's beyond brilliant.

Which ones did you like the most?

Call me by your name (by far). Lady Bird and Florida Project were excellent too. I also watched Newton, which I believe is India's entry for the Oscars, and I loved it. Didn't like Phantom Thread.

I actually had no idea that you were a fan of Zvyagintsev and Tarkovsky style movies

I too love watching movies, but I'm avoiding most of the Marvel and DC Comics crap out there, would rather watch animated movies, as long as they don't go singing in a parallel candy universe, it helps me to relax my brain much more

Finally decided to watch Dear Zachary and holy fuck, what a disturbing story. It’s one of those things that won’t leave me for months. Truly haunting. Hate isn’t a strong enough word to describe how one feels right after watching it.

Next on my list is Shoah.

And while we're at him, I recently watched Mouchette. Yet another great movie next to Journal d'un curé de campagne and Au hasard Balthazar.

I saw this at VIFF back in early October, thought it was really good, but I think I was a bit spaced from several days of watching films at the festival and needed a break.

Watched it again a couple nights ago. I adored it. Beautiful beautiful film. The best of 2017 imo. It's exquisite.

I watched Jagten last night and I loved it.

I also watched Coco and while being entertaining and nice, I think it's quite overrated.

Malcolm X was good, wasn't bored despite the duration. Denzel was amazing in it.

It's a classic love story and a lot more. It takes time for the watcher and the characters likewise to pass the tense and maybe uncomfortable exploration stage and start really loving what's unfolding but when it happens it is near perfect.

One of his best performences imo.
I watched Ali with Will Smith the same day I watched Malcom X last week (was -30 all week didn't leave my house), the gap between those two actors is A LOT bigger than what most of us think imo

Breath (Nafas) is Iran's entry for the Oscars. I have heard it's very good, which is interesting given how rarely Iranian films are made in the fantasy genre.

I'm going to see it on the 21st. It looks really good. I have always had a thing for that sort of subtle and nuanced fantasy, that's not full-blown Lord of the Rings type stuff.

Full movie is on youtube.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Yes, I watched it on Sundance Now but it’s on YouTube.

Saw the latest Insidious today. That has to be the worst movie I've seen in the past five years or so.

You really should watch Bright.
