OT: Movies/TV Shows

It’s also incredibly misunderstood - folks think it’s anti elite even tho the parasites are the squatters who have no interest in working

I think the message is that both the elite and the squatters are parasites on each other?

And there’s that pivotal mashed potato scene

 

[axlsalinger]

pretty good list.

All time top tier classics for sure:

There Will be Blood
No Country for Old Men
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Get Out
The Social Network
Mad Max: Fury Road
Children of Men
City of God
Y tu Mama Tambien
Zodiac
The Royal Tenenbaums
Her
Adaptation
The Dark Knight
Arrival
Lost in Translation

Movies I haven't seen but i'm pretty sure are all timers:

Mulholland Drive
Spirited Away
The Zone of Interest
Phantom Thread
Boyhood
Anatomy of a Fall


Movies I've seen and don't think are all timers (but all are very good):

Parasite
Moonlight
Inglorius Basterds
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Brokeback Mountain
Wolf of Wall Street
The Grand Budapest Hotel


Movies I haven't seen and am skeptical they're that good:

In the Mood for Love

Grand Budapest Hotel is kind of an odd choice, but I think it's brilliant. Basterds and Crouching Tiger definitely deserve to be there (though I have only seen Crouching Tiger once in the theater, so maybe I should watch it again). Agree on Wolf of Wall Street, it's very very good but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece of cinema.
