Elvis 2022
Like every baz luhrman movie it is both very bad (the entire beginning, every use of the word βsnowβ and βsnowjob,β whatever the hell tom hanks was doing) and very good (every musical number, Olivia dejonge). But likeβ¦..Austin butler was transcendent. heβs allowed to go a bit crazy now and lose his identity, heβs earned it

The Bridges of Madison County 1995
When I die Iβm leaving my children three smutty diaries recounting my sexual and romantic escapades and if I have none then Iβm making some up. I WILL give them their bridges of madisonΒ county moment because I think it builds character. Anyway I like this more and more every time I see it, itβs on track to becoming my favourite movie by the time Iβm forty.

The Prestige 2006
unfortunately this suffers from nolan disease (the scenes are like a minute long, just long enough for the characters to say the absolute least amount of dialogue while still getting key plot points across) but by god does he visually have the period drama touch. if he hired a different screenwriter I would trust this man to do a nice henry james adaptation

Summer of Sam 1999
The real serial killer is the scariest fucking case of madonna whore complex Iβve ever seen

Mission: Impossible 1996
I've spent the past 20 years of my life hating tom cruise only to watch top gun maverick and find myself utterly charmed by him. to paraphrase christian bale, his smile reaches his eyes in it. he's particularly un-patrick bateman-like. whether tom cruise has stopped being a psychopath or whether he's finally found out how to mask it is unimportant to me, I only wonder exactly when he stopped being the tom cruise I dislike and became the tom cruise that radiates a kind of rugged happiness. so far: he's still a psychopath in 1996.
