Wild tales. Argentine anthology film. Amazing.

AD2 I watched on the theaters and had no clue what the movie was about so the intro really got me. But my favorite one is the road rage story.

The Three Amigos: Guillermo Del Toro, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Alfonso Cuarón. Quite possibly the best directors in the world right now.

I was severely disappointed by Pans. And Hellboy was pretty forgettable for me. Don’t know what to say, but despite several attempts, I can’t seem to get on board with the guy.

Yorgos Lanthimos & Hayao Miyazaki

RRR by S.S. Rajamouli is a masterclass of setup and payoff. Non stop upstaging each big action set piece before it. It’s an epic war bromance rom com musical superhero action film.

Also, if anyone in this thread has ever held out on watching the Soviet anti-war film Come And See because they don’t want to traumatize themselves - I did that, too, for a very long time. I was very scared of watching it. A few months ago, I finally bit the bullet and watched it. I shouldn’t have waited so long. It’s a masterpiece.

Nothing will make you hate war more than this movie. It’s deeply sickening and horrifying, but the film is a masterpiece. There is nothing that even comes close to it in the genre. I highly recommend you see it if you have been holding out.

It’s one of only a few movies I would give a perfect 10/10 rating.
