The Thin Red Line 1998
The brotherhood a battlefield forges, and the one it tears apart. Soldiers contemplating where they come from, and where they’re at. A war film that celebrates the beauty of life and the world, within the utter futility and devastation of war itself. Malick marries his sensual sensibilities to his otherworldly understanding of humanity/existence in this mesmerising film, philosophising not just death, but killing, and living too.

What a feast of a flick. Beyond blockbuster, has to be seen to be believed. Electrifying experience

Death on the Nile 2022
Hilarious that the guy who just gave a moustache an origin story may be awarded director of the year next month
Edit: equally hilarious that he just won Screenplay of the year. If not more so
