Top Gun: Maverick 2022
phenomenal. i mean, truly, truly phenomenal. i only just watched Top Gun for the first time last night & figured i should go watch Top Gun: Maverick before it was out of theaters and my expectations were high given the ratings i’ve seen but the movie…it exceeded those expectations far beyond what i thought capable (these are not my kind of movies usually). i had no idea what Top Gun was about before this time last night and now i’m a…

Moonrise Kingdom 2012
“what happened?”
“she left her binoculars on a hook in the chapel tent.”
“just leave ‘em!”
“we can’t. it’s her magic power!”
oh absolutely. i loved every second of this film. my second favorite Wes Anderson movie, just slightly below Fantastic Mr. Fox. i really enjoyed the story and the journey Moonrise Kingdom takes you on. i never know what to expect with Anderson and i like that a lot. his movies never turn out to be what i anticipated… -
The Breakfast Club 1985
“it’s sushi.”
“sushi?”
“rice, raw fish, and seaweed.”
“you won’t accept a guy’s tongue in your mouth but you’re gonna eat that?”
“can i eat?”
“i don’t know. give it a try.”
the lunch scene is one of my favorites in all of cinematic history. i am a The Breakfast Club bitch through and through -

Twin Peaks 1989
i love Agent Dale Cooper & his love for black coffee, jelly donuts, and huckleberry pie <3 would love to understand the show someday also.
i’ve discovered through Twin Peaks that i really like David Lynch’s directing style. it’s so frustratingly unpredictable. predictably unpredictable, as i like to put it. truly a masterpiece. minus half a star because i hated Leo Johnson so much. couldn’t hardly watch the show because of my hatred for him. a devastatingly wonderful show -
Charlie's Angels 2019
KRISTEN STEWART I LOVE YOU
the effie trinket finnick odair reunion we didn’t know we needed. i think i enjoyed this adaptation a little better than the original except for the fact that noah centipede is in it. minus half a star for that & i will be pretending like he didn’t ruin the ending by being in it lmao. a really great film with quite a bit of twists. once again, kristen stewart i love you -
Fantastic Mr. Fox 2009
so visually pleasing. i was never bored and i really liked the end scene where they danced in the supermarket. i was taken aback by dumbledore being the voice of Bean lol. overall a really fun movie that i will watch again sometime

The Game 1997
i watched this again for the 4th or 5th time & it still holds as one of my favorite movies of all time. is it perfect, without a flaw, the cinematography immaculate? no. but did it have me on the edge of my seat with every new development, wondering what crazy scenario was next? absolutely. and the least i can say about the ending is that i audibly gasped for a solid 4 minutes while watching it all unravel. i had…

What's Eating Gilbert Grape 1993
so heartwarming and heartbreaking. it was a struggle to think properly after watching What's Eating Gilbert Grape because it makes you wonder about life and the simplicity of it all that humans have turned into a chore. this movie reminds you that sometimes it’s okay to just enjoy things and to live your life how you want.
