Considering the people that worked on this film, the end result should have been way more enjoyable. Some of the jokes do land, but the type of joke being told is quite repetitive.

Money Train 1995
This film lacks a coherent story. The characters don't really grow and don't learn from their mistakes. I did think Money Train was consistently funny and the sparse action scenes were well-crafted.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari 1920
Very impressive film, both narratively (with the early use of plot twists and non-linear storytelling) and technically (with the elaborate set design based on German expressionism and a wide variety of editing techniques).
It's also interesting to place this film in its historical context. A lot of triangles are used as symbols of hierarchy and power dynamics, which is fitting considering this film released in Germany during the interbellum.

The Parachute Murder Plot 2018
Really basic in its presentation, with a presenter that inserts herself a bit too much in the narrative.
