r/Letterboxd Film Club 037 - Stop-motion animation
Now you will see a film made for children, perhaps.
But I nearly forgot.
You must.

PlayTime 1967
"The history of film as an art is mainly a history of films that lose money."
Charles Eidsvik - Film Among The Arts 1978
PlayTime is art.
This film has a scale unlike any previous Tati film. Whereas there was some level of malleability and improvisation in earlier works, this is pure clean-cut Tati. An unfiltered, realised vision from an incredibly ambitious director. Every minute detail, every extra, every lampost, every paving slab is under Tati's control. For Jour deβ¦

Snake in the Monkey's Shadow 1979

Enter the Dragon 1973
The Art Of Fighting Without Fighting.
This is the last real Bruce Lee movie, and for my money, it is easily his best. Enter The Dragon is not only the best Lee movie, but it's a perfect blend of effortlessly cool kung fu, blaxploitation, and espionage thriller; it's the face that launched a thousand exploitation movies. Bruce pops in every scene, the colours pop, and he pops Jackie Chan's neck out of place.
