Mouse’s essential movies

I’m limiting myself to 10 to be sensible and these are subject to frequent and unpredictable change. Tried to do a range of genres and a few well beloved directors. I hope you find as much joy in cinema as I have! Howls Moving Castle - when you say you’ve seen nothing, does this mean no ghibli? There’s a whole load of Studio Ghibli films that are amazing, this is my comfort Film. Jennifer’s Body - essential bisexual cult cinema. never met a man who likes it, never met a woman who doesn’t It Follows - possibly my favourite ever horror movie. Four Lions - Probably my favourite comedy ever, very British, very brilliant Arrival - one of only two times a film has given me the feeling of the sublime in the same way seeing the alps did.(the other one is The Green Knight, consider this a sneaky Rec for that too) Beautiful sci-fi. The Virgin Suicides - Arguably Sofia Coppola’s best film. The Big Lebowski - my favourite Coen Brother’s film (I have Maud tattooed on me). fun and hugely well loved. Only Lovers Left Alive - Jim Jarmusch is a must watch director, this and Paterson are my faves. Tilda Swinton and TI’m Hiddleston play sexy vampires. Ocean’s 11 - very vocal about my love for heist films, and this is the cream of the crop

My Letterboxd Top 4:

1. The Three Caballeros (1945) i’m a big animation nerd, and i truly believe that this is visually one of the most creative and beautiful animated films ever. i know there’s not really much of a “plot,” but i love how anarchical the flow of the movie is, disney has not and will never make anything like it again. the musical sequences/song numbers are so much fun and joaoaqin garay and josé oliveira give amazing performances as panchito and josé carioca 2. Who Framed Roger Rabbit this was my #1 favorite for the longest time, and it’s now a *very* close second. this movie is just the epitome of expertly crafted film making on so many different levels, from the writing, directing, acting, practical effects, and animation. it’s a perfect homage and combination to two of my favorite film eras, old film noir and the golden age of animation. richard william’s animation direction is also mindblowingly brilliant; so many insane shots in this movie that i know were almost impossible to animate. 3. A Clockwork Orange i am aware that this is a starkly different pick from my first two, lmao. but this is genuinely such a fascinating film that speaks to me on so many levels. malcom mcdowell truly gives a performance of a lifetime, and the intentional setting of 60’s/70’s brutalist futurism is genuinely so iconic. obviously kubrick’s direction and camera work is also genius, don’t have much to add there. i don’t necessarily agree with every point this film tried to get across, but the question if even the worst people in our society deserve the autonomy to choose between right and wrong is so fascinating. 4. Amadeus perfect movie from beginning to end in my opinion. it is a master class in character writing, i can never get over how salieri and mozart are THE perfect character foils of eachother. the opera segments in this film are so beautifully shot, designed, and choreographe. this film is responsible for me genuinely falling in love with opera, where i now shoot/film my university’s operas as a consistent favorite gig of mine (and hope to professionally shoot operas as a part of my career in the future).

Sounds Of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel

i have been obsessed with simon and garfunkel as of late. i don’t think they have ever made a bad song or album, but sounds of silence is by far my favorite. just genuinely beautiful from beginning to end.

Underrated Ablum: going...going...GONE!

i’m not generally big into pop music, but damn is Hemlocke Springs extremely underrated. i know her song ‘girlfriend‘ was viral for a bit a couple years ago, but she’s released new music since and her debut album ‘Going…Going…Gone!’ is genuinely very good. i still find myself listening to it frequently
