Both Joan and John Cusack's names are misspelled in the end credits of BROADCAST NEWS, otherwise it's a perfect movie

Maybe I have James L. Brooks blinders on but I still like it

MARS ATTACKS 4K

One of the best to ever do it.

Should have named this as my favorite movie of 2022 because it so clearly is

Regular reminder that this is Top 5 Spielberg and my favorite Indiana Jones movie

It's Spielberg's birthday so we should all be posting about him today starting with an admission that this might very well be my favorite movie

When I was a little kid, I walked to my local second-run theater to see THE PRINCESS BRIDE. I hated the title and the poster but it was PG and I could get in. I was the Fred Savage kid. When I got out 100 minutes later it was my new favorite movie.

When I finally remember to follow Charlie XCX on Letterboxd

Judith Hoag deserved an Oscar for the way she plays being genuinely charmed and slightly erotically charged by a barely functioning puppet teenage turtle doing a functional-at-best Sylvester Stallone impression

Can’t get on here much without feeling a total sense of doom, please leave the title of a movie you love so we can have something good in the world
