I didn't see this thread anywhere, and with the Oscar nods happening, I figure now is as good a time as any to try it out. Feel free to move this if I missed the thread. 1. Happy Old Year (2019) I thought this would be sweet, forgettable fluff. (Just how interesting can a movie about a woman decluttering her home be?) Instead, I got a heartbreaker of a tragic drama, the one movie of the year that undeniably deserves to be mentioned among the greatest films I've seen. A razor sharp portrait of guilt and anguish and how that can wear down someone trying to be "a good person."
2. Agnes (2021) What an odd duck this movie is. Part outrageous horror comedy, part serious examination of faith. The movie may give you tonal whiplash, but if you somehow connect with both the zaniness (reality TV show exorcists!) and the somber, beating heart of the whole thing like I did, you'll discover one of the most intelligent, realistic depictions of loss of faith ever put on screen. "I was even starting to love God."  3. Bad Genius (2017) Before Parasite, there was Bad Genius. Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying (who also starred in Happy Old Year - what a one-two punch of performances these are! ) delivers a starmaking performance as a brilliant high school student running an exam cheating operation. Taking the formula of a heist movie and applying it to the world of exams (a lot of work goes into smuggling answers out of secure locations, I'll have you know), this movie is a fast-paced, perfectly edited work of pure entertainment... that just so happens to be a sharp and multi-faceted critique of class systems and the exploitation of labor. It's wonderful surface level fun that offers so much more under that surface. 4. Moonlit Winter (2019) There is a point in this movie when a woman gives her niece a hug, and they just... hold each other. For eighty-six seconds. As cold and unforgiving as this movie often is - as easy it would be for the movie to give in to despair and make this a miserable, hopeless story - it is suffused with a precious warmth, depicting characters who help each other through hardship simply by being present. Building a snowman, taking a picture, sending a letter. Giving a hug. The two lead performances - the bone-weary Kim Hee-ae perfectly complimenting the wary, vigilant Yuko Nakamura - supply the dangerous undercurrent that makes those small moments so striking, keeping the movie balanced on that razor's edge between tragic drama and kind but forgettable fluff. 5. The Amusement Park (1975) Old age as a surreal horror movie - a constantly shifting clown world, an unknowable forest full of unfathomable dangers. Given funds to make a PSA, George Romero instead crafted a nightmare, a topsy-turvy dream with teeth. This is what The Father wanted to be. 6. House of Hummingbird (2019) So many "autobiographical" coming-of-age movies feel like the director is looking back on how awesome things were for them, like they didn't have a care... or maybe I'm still pissed at Licorice Pizza and I'm overgeneralizing. My point is that House of Hummingbird does NOT fall into that trap. There is a constant unease and uncertainty over Eunhee's future, a feeling of suffocation as she becomes more depressed over the burden she is to her family, stinging moments of happiness briefly seen and snatched away, the tears lingering on her face like the red marks from when her brother beats her. Nothing comes easily for her, and that makes the small things she latches onto as safe anchors mean more to her, and her growth mean more to us. 7. Little Forest: Winter/Spring (2015) I fell in love with the Korean remake of Little Forest in 2021 (thanks DeepArcher!), but the original Japanese duology (the first part is Summer/Autumn) may be even better. Unlike the remake, there is no love triangle here: it's just farming, cooking, and trying to determine if this is the life you want. In this conclusion to the tale, Ichiko cooks, and ponders, and questions. It's all very low key - almost all of the movie is dedicated to trying new cooking techniques - but the unrest simmers under the surface, until a finale that is just as unassuming as the rest of the movie in presentation, but devastating in the emotions that are carefully being shielded from view. 8. The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) It is so refreshing to see a movie about professionals being competent. Walter Matthau is the action hero I never knew we needed. 9. The Whispering Star (2015) The past being sent forward to the future. A cigarette. A photograph. Objects that mean nothing outside of very specific contexts. Keys to the soul. Meaninglessness imbued with meaning. We are never told what any of the deliveries represent. It doesn't matter. It only matters that Yoko Suzuki, Machine 722, delivers them, and for a few seconds, sees an expression that means... who knows, really. The key to understanding is in that box, and even if she glanced inside, she wouldn't know how to use it. 10. The State I Am In (2000) Jeanne holds the lives of her parents in her hands. That's a lot of responsibility for a fifteen year old. She can't talk to anyone, or make friends, or be normal. Whenever she begins to feel at home, she is whisked away to another place. Her parents don't hate her, they know that this isn't a good way to raise their daughter, but if the police ever find out where they are, they will - at the very least - go to prison for a very long time. So they can't stop moving, and Jeanne fractures more and more each time. Christian Petzold's approach keeps this all at a distance - there are no tearjerker moments, no exposition to keep us clear on how destructive this is. He sits on the outside, and watches Jeanne unravel without commenting. |

Honorable mentions that I disqualified from my top ten for one reason or another: Arcane: League of Legends (2021 TV Series)* An operatic tragedy with roughly a dozen core characters making decisions with rippling consequences, spreading outwards to twist and warp the lives of people they've never met. Irony abounds - a young girl sees her mother killed by cops and grows into a woman who falls in love with a cop and aligns herself with them, a revolutionary spits upon his brother for abandoning the cause to raise a family and later finds himself torn between his life's ambition and the daughter he loves, the image of two children playing paintball bleeds into the two trying to kill each other years later - as the dominoes crash down and the playing pieces are rearranged with each bullet spent and each life destroyed. A couple characters don't have complete arcs, but I'm pretty certain that they will get those in the second season (the two I'm thinking of were both given a lot of setup that will almost certainly see them move to the forefront of the story later). This is, hands down, the best non-anime TV series I've watched, and I'll go so far as to call it the most ambitious and striking work of fantasy I have ever seen. The Black Tower (1987 short film) Horror at its best. Director John Smith simply uses a static camera and points it at a static building, letting the audiobook narrator immerse us in the dread of seeing it everywhere he goes. It is deeply chilling and pretty much the perfect spooky short film. House of Cards (1990 TV series)* Ian Richardson. That's it. What more can I say? Francis Urquhart - the scheming mix of Macbeth, Iago and Richard III that dominates this series - would be nothing without the prim, devilish Richardson taking the role of a lifetime and running with it. Even outside of him, this is a very fun and humorous political thriller, but it is Richardson that elevates this into the realm of magnificent entertainment. Every other actor playing evil schemers need to see this and call him Daddy. Madoka Magica: Eternal (2012)*  Technically, I haven't seen this movie before. But in reality, this is a recap of the final four episodes of the TV show, which I am intimately familiar with. (Although it does do some neat things with the movie format to make it worthwhile as a curiosity for fans of the show.) It's pretty much impossible to talk about this movie without talking about all that came before, but suffice to say that on this rewatch it was every bit as cruel as it was on my previous watches. This is misery porn at its finest: utterly, unrelentingly bleak and horrifying, a story of "good" people being given a mirror and seeing a monster staring back. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (1998 video series)* This two episode video series (totaling under an hour of running time) is the definition of "relaxing." The apocalypse has come and gone, and the last people on earth sip coffee and watch as the world reclaims itself from their control. There's nothing else to this, but there's so much power in this simple concept. An acceptance of life and death and simple enjoyments. A camera, a friendly conversation, a cup of coffee. This is a great big stress reliever of a story - based on a long-running manga that I desperately want to read but can't figure out how to find a translation - that is one of the most unique pieces of fiction I've encountered. |

Glad you asked. I did my annual year-end list on Letterboxd which you can read here, featuring a little 2022 reflection & some write-ups on why I liked each of these. If for some reason you like hearing my thoughts on movies, give it a read! 1. Rumble Fish (1983, Francis Ford Coppola) 2. All That Jazz (1979, Bob Fosse) 3. The Abyss (1989, James Cameron) 4. I Wish (2011, Hirokazu Kore-eda) 5. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978, Philip Kaufman) 6. El Sur (1983, Victor Erice) 7. Inferno (1980, Dario Argento) 8. Sherlock Jr. (1924, Buster Keaton) 9. Rouge (1987, Stanley Kwan) 10. The Hole (1998, Tsai Ming-liang) 11. Clueless (1995, Amy Heckerling) 12. Until the End of the World (1991, Wim Wenders) 13. Something Wild (1986, Jonathan Demme) 14. The Bride of Frankenstein (1935, James Whale) 15. Hard Boiled (1992, John Woo) 16. The Day of the Beast (1995, Alex de la Iglesia) 17. True Stories (1986, David Byrne) 18. The Exorcist III (1990, William Peter Blatty) 19. The Great Muppet Caper (1981, Jim Henson) 20. Godzilla (1954, Ishiro Honda) I'll have you know that I did indeed read through your thoughts, so don't have a crisis over that. I greatly enjoyed all but two of the movies on your list that I have seen - and Sherlock Jr. and The Great Muppet Caper are both good movies - so I'm quite interested in checking out the others. Maybe. At some point. |
