THE BIRDS (1963)

the easiest way to feel like a film student is to drop alfred hitchcock’s name, and unironically the birds is my favourite classic film. it’s not just the dread of thousands of angry birds, or the hilarious scene where seagulls attack a children’s birthday party, but it’s the dynamics of character relationships and how the women base their relationships with one another on their relationship with the main male character. my favourite line to quote is “oh, i see…” which is said so many times to by characters to silently judge each others decisions and statements. then, once you’ve seen the birds i recommend watching or learning about the 2010 film birdemic: shock and terror, which is this insanely bad but oh so beautiful thing made by a single man inspired by hitchcock.

The Shining (1980)

Stanley Kubrick’s contribution to horror is a masterpiece of a film. Jack Nicholson has one of his best performances of his career and Shelley Duvall perfectly matches him. This movie fills you with dread and with every rewatch, you discover something new about the film.

get drinks with your coworkers

get drunk, embarrass yourself, it’s worth it, it will strengthen your bonds (as long as it’s not your boss)

starting a dvd collection

as both a movie and a physical media lover, starting a dvd/blue-ray/criterion collection and buying a blue-ray player was one of the best choices I've ever made. record stores, thrift stores, and other random places sell dvds of incredible movies for like 1 dollar each, so it makes it super easy to start a collection, and you have a physical watchlist to go through. I've also started buying criterion and I am in love with those, but they can be quite expensive so I do it sparingly, and only when there is a 50% sale which happens like 2-3 times a year. get off the streaming services and start watching your movies off a disc!!!

amc a-list and your local indie theater

the amc a-list is well-known gem, but it is really one of the best deals available, especially after the recent change they made to it. four movies a week! what! However I get sometimes you just have to go to the cinema on a budget, tickets can be expensive. STILL, support your local independent theater if you can!! at least around me there are multiple rep theaters (shoutout the coolidge theater in Boston and the Brattle in Cambridge) that constantly show old films and introduce classics to a new audience. I will die for these theaters, and I try to find a balance between using my a-list for new movies and seeing rep screenings at the indies! you can do both! I LOVE MOVIES!!!!
