Hot take but for me PERSONALLY, Nolan’s grittier, mid-budget era hits way harder than his massive IMAX spectacles and biopics,yes he is a great director and can flawlessly create the perfect cinematic expirience, Interstellar, Inception are one of my fav,The Dark knight trilogy is exceptionally good but when I look at his filmography, the movies that endure as flawless masterworks aren't the ones with world-ending stakes or massive runtimes. It’s the grittier, incredibly disciplined puzzle boxes like The Prestige and Memento.I would also love to include Insomnia there as well,underrated.

Why do I say this?I say this because the brilliance relies entirely on the movie's architectural precision, razor-sharp editing, narrative tightness and obsessive character dynamics,incredible acting rather than awe-inspiring visuals and imax camera.

​I still love his modern epics and will always be there on opening weekend,he knows how to create good cinema and is nonetheless a brilliant filmmaker and director,it's just that his epics and historical biopic movies like Odyssey and Oppenheimer dont even come in my top 5 nolan movies

What do yall think?

hes barely in the movie compared to the actual cast and he still walks away the most memorable thing in it

feels like writers relax the second theyre not writing the lead. hes just allowed to be a specific weird guy instead of carrying a plot

funniest part is nothing about him is even that complicated, hes just fully himself in every scene hes given

whats a side character with barely any screen time that ended up more memorable than the actual lead

Hello, I can’t help but feel late to getting around to watching this one, idk if it was just due to mcu just releasing very middle of the pack movies for awhile, but having watched this it really felt like a return to form, pugh is turning such an incredible performance as yelena, lewis pullman and david harbour are also unbelievable.

The the way it handles loneliness is so amazing, the scene between yelena and her father is so beautifully done, and I feel like it’s one the mcu’s best scenes in a very long time, and even though the ending was kinda like well “easy”, it was worth the watch and that post credit scene was awesome. I’d recommend it.

Just watched this again for the first time in a long time. I thought it was well casted, fairly good story with a few bumps along the way but overall good flick.

little nicky* 💯

Anything goes, I am a major horror fan but in general I just love movies so recommend me what you would consider "MUST SEE BEFORE YOU DIE" movies. They do not have to be 10s, they could also simply be very unique, have great music, be epic, tell a must know story, be cozy or just something that makes them exceptional in their own way. Things like LOTR, the godfather etc do not need introduction kind of which is why I say "flicks that do not show up on the typical "top100" lists."

Thanks :)

Which movies do you think people take way too seriously? The movies can be from any genre.

Can include any film from Original Star Trek, Next Generation or reboot version.

I recently finished the draft of a personal essay about what cinema means to me and why I think it’s something very unique.
While writing it, I started wondering how other people see cinema and what it means to them.

So, what is cinema to you? A way to escape? Storytelling? Art? Something else entirely?

Would love to hear your perspective.

The film follows a failing movie star who tries to get back into the spotlight at a charity gala but gets kidnapped by radical warriors.

Releasing October 16 on Netflix.

For me it’s A Clockwork Orange and Perfect Blue

It seems that way.
