The Fall
Unfair to rank this because it was a rewatch for me, but it is seriously a marvel that this movie got made. Shot in over 20 countries, some locations we only see for less than a minute of screentime!!!!! Just beautifully shot. Amazing colors. The costumes. Lee Pace. The ending makes me ugly cry, snot-nosed, open mouth sobbing. It’s amazing. I am on a mission to get everyone to watch this.
My Own Private Idaho
File under “yearning”. Beautiful and heart wrenching. The campfire scene…..you just want to die. In the best way.
Brewster McCloud (1970)
Boy dreams of being bird. This movie was made for me. Absurd, silly, delightful, twisted. Every movie should have a circus end credits sequence. Altman is the GOAT for a reason.
Local Hero
This one dethroned one of my Four Favorites. I would live inside this movie. Like a Fair Isle sweater for the soul. Just perfection. Freak4Freak Peter Capaldi means everything to me.
