The best film I saw for the first time in June was The Ascent (1977); a beautifully made, philosophically rich film, which has lingered in my thoughts ever since.
I am intruigued to see The Nun and The Dead from your list.

Where is Anjelica Huston for The Dead in your lineups, Tommen_Saperstein? That is one of my all time favorite performances. |

Timothy Spall, Mr. Turner8. Jesse Eisenberg, Night Moves extremely underrated performance there and Night Moves as a whole doesn't get the credit it deserves IMO. Definitely my favorite Recihardt film. She wove such a bleak tapestry of radicalization, emotional isolation, and paranoid dread. |

@tyler I felt awful leaving her out. She makes my 1987 lineups but I saw too many amazing female performances in June for her to make this list unfortunately. She was wonderful though. Every Huston performance I see makes me love her more.
