The Boy and The Heron

A truly excellent movie made by Ghibli, fantastic studio with some really high quality films. Definitely recommend giving it a watch.

Same here, although I confess I wasn’t blown away by this one. I often find that while Ghibli films always crush it on the imagination front, the writing can be hit and miss. I understood the autobiographical origin of the plot, but there were several parts that felt underdeveloped or poorly explained. Overall, was good but definitely not up there with Mononoke or Spirited Away, imo

I prefer the movies of Makoto Shinkai to Hayao Miyazaki these days.

I’ll always love Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro, but Shinkai is so consistent.

I do agree, not their best one. Although I really like the animation in this one.

The Life Aquatic

Wes Anderson movies are an acquired taste. But this one in particular is very accessible, and very funny. And it has a very emotional ending.

The only thing an uninitiated viewer needs to know is that the effects are intentionally low-budget. Just take them as seriously as the characters do, you’ll warm to them.

My first time watching this movie I stopped paying attention about 30 minutes in. Some time later the final act started and I was drawn back in. I have since watched it from start to finish about 5 times. Which doesn’t sound like a lot, but I’m the kind of person who doesn’t generally watch a movie more than once.

That’s my favourite Wes Anderson film! The story and design are beautiful and the writing is brilliantly clever.

the effects are intentionally low-budget

Some of them are for aesthetic reasons, but this film was actually pretty expensive to make. Famously it did a lot of damage to WA’s reputation among Hollywood execs because the studio greenlit a high budget for him and gave him a lot of creative control and the movie ended up doing really poorly at the box office. It cost 50M to make and only earned 25M in box office sales.

Right up there with Tenenbaums for me. Wasn’t as impressed with it when I saw it in theaters, but it really grew on me. Still get the feels when Queen Bitch plays at the end.

I guess I’ll be the thread’s normie:

Deadpool & Wolverine

And yes I would recommend it. (If one is a fan of the genre of course)

Same. I’d recommend it to almost anyone, especially if you liked the previous ones.

Same! Loved it. Deadpool is now one of the best Marvel and Fox comic book movie trilogies in that it manages to nail all 3 movies. Have only seen that with Captain America and Guardians (imo).

Yeah, that’s the most recent movie for me, too. I thought it was all right; I’ve been listening to a lot of Insane Clown Posse recently so a lot of the jokes weren’t as shocking/outré as I think they were trying to be. But it definitely had its moments, like the… uh… “fingers to the face” scenes and the… “skin-related incident”.

The dark times when Disney was full tilt on direct-to-video sequels that were okay at best.

Yes the first one! The TV show is alright but they have different voice actors and artists so it’s not as good but the story line is still wholesome af.
