To be clear, I was also referring to all movies, not Oscars

I missed most of the movies on your list, so maybe that's part of the problem.



It's not a list of great movies, but for people with

similar taste to mine, it is a list of entertaining movies.

Mandy and Revenge are awesome.

I still don't know what I think of Annihilation, but it was visually stunning and got me thinking.

Bad Times didn't know how to tie it all together, but it has style.

I'm a fan of the Halloween series, and I think they did a solid homage/send up.

Hot Summer Nights, Love Simon, and Sidney Hall are solid coming of age movies.

Mile 22 has some good action sequences. The rest is Mark Wahlberg yelling for no particular reason. It is the worst movie on the list.

Mom and Dad is a ridiculous Nic Cage horror comedy.

The Night Comes for Us is a violent Indonesian action/martial arts movie. It is awesome and bloody.

Small Town Crime is a solid noir.

Summer of 84 is a Stand By Me/Stranger Things style coming of age movie that turns sinister. Note: It is not as good as Stand By Me or Stranger Things, but it similarly blends coming of age and darkness.

Super Troopers 2 was as good as anyone could reasonably expect.

You Were Never Really Here hit on a lot of the themes I like. Some of the style was a shock to the senses.


Are you swallowing M&M’s whole Farva?

Yeah, it all goes to the same place right?



Why is that the funniest moment I’ve seen in movies all year?


Annihilation

Or the lobotomized man’s “V.R.T.”


It is neither Stalker nor Solaris,

I walked out with significant qualms, but it's stayed with me more than almost any other movie this year.

I would only unequivocally recommend The Favourite, Thoroughbreds, and The Death of Stalin. And those three are not for everyone, to say the least.
