I really liked Furiosa. There is some interesting economics going on in the background between the gasoline city, agriculture city, and weapons city. And I love that the economics shape people's consciousness and culture in the world they live in, rather than the other way around.

beau is afraid
Yes, I also watched this recently. It was fantastic
always with water. always
Can't understand why people say it's an Aster flop. Fantastic movie
I really liked this and need to rewatch it. The first half was fucking insanely funny.
1st third is funniest movie you've ever seen, 2nd third is jewish wes anderson, 3rd third is the cold hard truth
Perfect Days directed by Wim Wenders. It's quiet and beautiful.
Fantastic film
Think it's just my type, too. Love Paris, Texas and Paterson.
I watched "A Real Pain" recently and I was surprised how much i liked it,
Also "The Promised Land" amazing 10/10 absolutely recommend it to everyone if you have 3 hours to spare. But your mileage may vary sine i'm polish and it may have affected my experience of the movie
I had the same experience with A Real Pain. I was like "ehhh an indie dramedy directed by a famous actor? sure I guess I'll put it on" and was kinda blown away by it.
I just downloaded A Real Pain last night, haven’t watched it yet, but definitely want to. Good to see some positive feedback in the real world.

Hell yeah. I'll check it out.
Have you ever seen the film On the Silver Globe?
No I have not, but it looks interesting, I'm adding it to the watch list.
Sadly I recently got bullied into watching the harry potter series with my friend group, so first I'll have to suffer through that 
It's a wild film, but quite an experience.
My condolences, please read combat liberalism to restore your proletarian spirit.
The last two films I watched were on the couch with my mom who came to visit over the holidays:
Conclave is fun! I grew up catholic in the global South, so it was fun to see the tensions that were prevalent during my formative years play out in a much more dramatized way. Acting was good, and the plot is enough of a whodunnit to keep you guessing. I figured out the ending before it happened and felt very proud of myself.
Mr Monk's last case was a throwback for my mom and I, because we used to watch Monk religiously. There's something really sweet about the way Monk portrays trauma, and there's this underlying dread throughout the film that really resonated with me. Some of the "OCD" gags felt a bit forced, and the overall plot felt like a way to tell the audience "remember Monk? Eh?". Still, a very comfy and fun watch if you can stomach the heavy handedness and of course, the copaganda.
I watched The Substance last weekend. It was a body horror film. I personally don't really care for horror but I admire how anxious the film made me.
I just saw Wicked in theaters and it was awesome. The politics were half baked, but the drama was good and I'm a sucker for musicals
I enjoyed it as well, it was a big fixture of my musical theatre enjoyer phase back in the day and I think it really lived up to the play.
I always thought the politics were decent for being half-baked, since it at least gets "fascism bad" and "capitulating to fascists for personal benefit also bad".
The heavy homoerotic subtext also holds a special place in my heart, really glad they turned it up to an eleven.
Ariana Grande did a much better job than I was expecting, too, she was really good at playing up the camp.
Strongly agree with your whole comment. I wish it followed through more with the opposition to ethnically cleansing animal people, but maybe they'll get more into that in part 2 (I haven't watched/read the source material).
100s of Beavers
Spreading Beaver propaganda on the bear website until the end of time (or the next movie by and starring Ryland Tews: after all, Lake Michigan Monster was also pretty great before that).
Anyways, to OP: Hundreds of Beavers is one of the most creative movies I've seen as of late (especially with this low a budget: $150,000 iirc). It's an almost dialogue-less slapstick comedy, with amazing running gags and an interesting combination of live action and animated setpieces. And all the beavers are people in beaver costumes.
I rewatched Eyes Wide Shut last night.
Just watched the new Nosferatu and it was alright. I am really looking forward though to the shot for shot (with green screen to superimpose the actors into the original film) not-silent remake of the original.
I agree, it was alright. It was skillfully made, good acting, and so on. But it didn't really push any boundaries to stand out, I feel. So I'd soft recommend it, at best.

Wait, what?

yeah here's a trailer
Interesting
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The Promised Land (2023) - The films message that rich people are evil and there are consequences to trying to become like them resonated with me for some reason.
The Last of Sheila (1973) - Lesser known whodunit murder mystery. Loved the ending.
Watched "Number 24" the other day about Norwegian resistance to Nazi occupation.
Bullet Train was really fun, The Pope's Excorcist was a bit shit but in a kinda fun way
Bullet train is hilarious and also has amazing fight choreography
I thought The Brutalist was incredible. I was really disheartened to find out about the AI usage.
Wow I'm behind on movies. Basically haven't watched anything anyone here has mentioned. I'm going to have to add them to a list or download them or something. I used tok watch movies all the time, and I'd like to get back into them.
Anora is a lot of fun, tho not from beginning to end.
American Fiction. Didn't know anything about it going in, and just thought it was so expertly cut together. Masterful and hilarious.
Enter the Void, that was an intense trip 🤯
The camera work in that film is stellar
Dune II? I know that was a year ago, but I really don't do movies.
