What’s an example of you liking a movie’s score more than the movie itself? For me, it’s Interstellar. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy the movie, but I can listen to that score on a loop all day long.

A no-brainer decision if there ever was one. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai, and…Hobson’s Choice? The one that looks like it doesn’t belong in David Lean’s filmography won the Berlinale Golden Bear I take a look at Hobson’s Choice in this week’s #Letterboxd List review. scenethatreviews.com/hobsons-choi... #Filmsky

Two cheers for Turner decider.com/2026/05/07/t...

Been waiting for this one!

Hobson’s Choice was a first-time watch for me and not really what most people think of when they think David Lean. Small, charming, and quietly funny in a way that sneaks up on you more than it announces itself. #Filmsky #Movies scenethatreviews.com/hobsons-choi...

Finally watched THE LONG WALK (really good movie!) and I need David Jonsson to be in Ryan Coogler’s next non-IP film. He and Cooper Hoffman have the juice needed to carry a whole movie on their backs.
