Something fun about me is that I watch maybe one or two movies a year and unless it’s just horrendous it will become a new current favorite. Two that always stand out for me, for better or for worse, are these two. One for comedy, one for heartbreak.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
(this has been my favorite movie since I first watched it at 14 and I really doubt it will ever change. I just popped in the dvd to watch the director/writer commentary and other special features yesterday.)
Zola.
(I’ve seen Janicza Bravo do Q&As about Zola live twice which is probably two more times that the average person.)
Springbreakers.
Fallen Angels.
Ingrid Goes West.
The Royal Tenenbaums.
68 Kill.
Poor Things.
(I did not see enough movies last year, but I saw this one which is great because it was made for me specifically)
Are you sensing a theme in these films….

I feel like I've been seeing the same 10 movies recommended online over and over again, so here's a few very random movies I've watched in the past few months. Not all of these movies are particularly incredible or the best movies ever made, many aren't even among my personal favorites... but they span decades and sub-genres and are perfect if you, like me, are interested in branching out and seeing what you like!

Top Recs from @lmaolson
I took it in a canon rebel g that I was lucky enough to find at an estate sale for about $20 and it’s by far my favorite pic I’ve ever taken! I think the film is like fujifilm ISO 400 or something idk but I love the colors it brings out

either your hair being a bit gross, your outfit not being a fit, some fugly comfy shoes, there’s something strangely empowering in it
